We help Australian business owners recruit pre-screened Filipino virtual assistants in 14 days—so you can build your team without expensive offshore agency retainers.
But paying $3,000+ per month to an agency while your VA earns a fraction of that doesn’t always make sense.
If you have basic management capability, hiring directly gives you:
Senior and executive roles are higher and discussed based on skill level and experience.
Here's what many business owners discover:
The agency promises management support. But when issues arise, they’re slow or unresponsive. Eventually, the business owner realises:
The VA is valuable.
The middle layer isn't.
When we started Alpha Technical Training, we had no investors. Hiring locally was expensive. Revenue wasn’t stable. Trying to do everything alone started affecting performance and health.
We explored offshore agencies charging $3,000 per month retainers and $2,500 onboarding fees. At that stage, it wasn’t realistic.
So we found the right way to hire directly from the Philippines. We hired our first 2 VAs. That allowed us to delegate admin work and stabilise operations.
Today, we have 20 offshore team members. We generate six-figure revenue. All because we made the first two hires.
We opened Alpha Workforce Solutions to help other Australian businesses scale their teams the same way — without unnecessary markups.
