Tried Hiring a VA and It Didn’t Work? Here’s Why You Need a Top VA Agency

If you’ve tried to hire a Filipino VA in the past and walked away frustrated, you’re not alone.

Maybe the VA lacked initiative. Or disappeared mid-project. Or simply couldn’t deliver at the level your business needed.

The truth? It’s rarely the VA’s fault.

It’s the hiring process—and more specifically, the lack of a top VA agency guiding that process—that’s to blame.

Common VA Hiring Fails (And Why They Happen)

Let’s get real. Here’s what typically goes wrong when hiring VAs without the right support:

• You used a freelancer platform and picked based on a good-looking profile
• You hired too quickly—without skills testing or reference checks
• The VA said “yes” to everything but lacked real training or confidence
• You had no help scoping the role, setting expectations, or onboarding
• You worked with an agency that just “placed” someone and disappeared

If that sounds familiar, you need more than just a VA—you need a partner who helps you hire the right one.

Top VA Agencies Don’t Just Send Candidates—They Build Teams

At BBVA, we believe that hiring a VA should feel as structured and strategic as hiring a full-time employee.

Here’s what a top VA agency does differently:

• Listens deeply to your needs before recruiting
• Creates custom role profiles for your specific business stage
• Screens for skills and work ethic
• Aligns you with VAs who want long-term roles, not short gigs
• Prepares both you and the VA for a smooth first 90 days

This is how we help businesses go from “I tried hiring a VA and it didn’t work” to “This VA changed my business.”

Why Filipino VAs Excel When Placed Correctly

When matched well, Filipino VAs become indispensable. They’re:

• Highly educated and often trained in Western business practices
• Exceptionally loyal, especially when treated with fairness and respect
• Detail-oriented, coachable, and process-driven
• Culturally aligned and naturally fluent in English
• Affordable without sacrificing quality

BBVA is proud to exclusively focus on sourcing skilled Filipino VAs, ensuring that our clients experience excellence from Day 1.
