The Model Difference

Matchmakers,
not managers.

Agencies take 25-35% of your VA's salary - every year, forever. We charge for the match (Placement) or for the management (Pod), never a percentage of your EA's pay. Your EA works directly for you, no middleman, no lock-in.

Traditional Agency
  • 25-35% of annual salary + monthly margin
  • VA never feels part of your team
  • You can't talk to the VA's manager
iTalentSource
  • EA Placement from $699 · EA Pod from $499 pilot
  • You pay the VA directly, no markup
  • VA fully integrated as your team-member

Pricing

Two ways to get your EA.

Fully managed Pod, or a one-time Placement. Either way you pay your EA directly - we never take a cut of their salary.

Our fee - paid once

For Placement, the one-time fee is the only payment that ever comes to us. For the Pod, you pay a flat management fee we agree on the call. Never a percentage of anyone's salary.

Their salary - paid by you

Your VA's salary goes directly from you to them - you set it together. No margin, no markup, no cut - ever.

Full-time, part-time or one-off - the talent works for you, not us. We never lock anyone into a contract with us. After placement, the working relationship is entirely yours.

What a VA owns

Meta Ads VA

Runs your whole Meta setup - audiences, tests, a clean weekly report. ROAS climbs while you barely touch Ads Manager.

Design VA (Adobe)

Rough brief in, polished on-brand creatives back the same day. An in-house studio at a fraction of the cost.

Cold Caller

Books eight to ten qualified meetings a week - and prospects actually enjoy the call.

Appointment Setter

Dials, qualifies and hands you warm conversations. You just show up and close.

Sales-Ops VA

Owns your sales-ops backend - CRM, follow-ups, handoffs. Nothing slips through the cracks.

FAQ

Real questions.
Direct answers.

What's the difference between EA Placement and the EA Pod?

EA Placement ($699 one-time) is a handoff - we find and vet your EA, then you manage directly from there.

The EA Pod (starts at $499 pilot) is fully managed - we stay involved with onboarding, ongoing support, and replacements throughout the engagement. Ongoing rate is discussed on the discovery call.

Not sure which fits? We'll figure it out together on the call.

How does the payment model work?

We offer two services:

EA Placement ($699 one-time) - we source, vet, and place your EA. You manage directly after. One payment, that's it.

EA Pod Service (starts at $499 for a two-week pilot) - fully managed. We source, vet, onboard, and stay involved throughout. Ongoing rate is discussed on the discovery call.

In both cases, after placement you pay your VA directly at their market rate. No monthly margin, no commission, no lock-in - we never touch the VA's salary.

What does the replacement guarantee cover?

If your EA is not the right fit within the first 30 days, tell us. We re-run the full vetting and place a replacement at no extra cost. One clause, no fine print.

Do you manage the VA after hire?

You manage your VA directly - that's the point. No middleman, no markup, a real working relationship from day one. Every placement includes an onboarding playbook so you start clean.

How long does the process take?

Under 10 business days from kickoff to a curated shortlist, on every package. From there you move at your own pace through final interviews and the hire decision.

How is the VA paid?

You pay your VA directly, at a market rate you agree together. We don't set it, mark it up, or take a cut. Their full pay is theirs.

Why specifically Filipino talent?

The Philippines is the world's second-largest English-speaking nation - 114 million speakers - with deep alignment to international business, a strong service culture, and flexible timezone coverage for any market. World-class talent at a fraction of local cost.
