For business owners
The help you have been meaning to hire.
Perlas Society matches US business owners with one hand-picked Filipino virtual assistant. Every person on this list has done a call with me, a skills test in their specialty, and a reference check — before you ever see a profile.
- One placement fee, agreed up front
- 30-day guarantee
- You pay your VA directly
You interview. You choose.
Two or three people, never a database
Sound familiar
Your business is growing. Your week is not.
The 11pm admin
Invoices, inbox, scheduling, the follow-up you keep rewriting. It lands on you because there is no one else to hand it to.
Hiring feels like a gamble
Post the job, sort through two hundred applications, and still not know who is actually good on a Tuesday morning.
The work that never starts
The email sequence, the database cleanup, the podcast edit. Always next month, because this month is full.
What you can hand off
The whole job, not a task list.
General admin support or one deep specialty — and most placements cover a little of both. Roles are matched on the tasks you actually need done, not on keywords.

Not seeing yours? Say it anyway — a good match comes from the full picture, not a dropdown.
How matching works
From intake to first day, in about a week.
Tell me about the role
A short intake: the tasks, the hours, the tools, and what you would love to stop doing. Upload a task list if you have one.
A discovery call
We agree the scope, the working hours, the rate range, and the fee in writing. No surprises after the conversation.
Meet two or three people
Hand-picked profiles with a one-pager each: their experience, tools, work samples, and why I think they fit your business.
Interview, hire, start
You interview and you choose. Onboarding is yours; I stay available through the first 30 days.
The vetting
Why the shortlist is short.
Eight checks stand between an application and your calendar. Most people do not get through, which is the point: when I send you three profiles, I would hire any of them.
- Profile reviewed by hand
- Written and spoken English assessment
- Skills test in their specialty
- Work setup check: internet, backup power, equipment
- Reference check with a past client
- Identity verified
- Vetting call with Kristine
- Signed network agreement
How we are paid
One fee, said out loud.
One placement fee
Quoted in writing before your discovery call, based on the role: general admin or specialized.
Nothing recurring
No retainer, no monthly fee, no markup on your VA's rate. You agree their pay with them and pay them directly.
30-day guarantee
If the placement is not working, tell me within the first 30 days and I will replace it at no extra fee.
12-month protection
Anyone I introduce is covered for a year. Hiring them directly outside the placement still carries the fee.
Specialized placements — bookkeeping, paid ads, funnels, video — are quoted separately.
Ask about your roleQuestions
Before you book the call.
Most roles go from intake to interviews in about a week. The start date depends on notice at your VA's current engagement, and many are free within two weeks.
Still deciding? Send me a note and I will answer it myself.
