7 Powerful Ways to Find the Best Virtual Assistants in the UK, US & Canada – Why DAVA Is Your Smartest Choice

You need a Virtual Assistant (VA). But where do you actually find a reliable, professional VA in the UK, US, or Canada?

Most business owners waste weeks scrolling through freelancer websites, posting jobs, and interviewing candidates who never show up.

Here is the truth: You do not need to “find” a VA. You need to hire a company that provides one.

This is where DAVA (dial-a-virtualassistant.com) comes in.

The Old Way: Wasting Time on Freelance Marketplaces

If you search Google for “where to find a virtual assistant,” you will see the same old advice:

  • Upwork – Post a job, review 50+ proposals, interview, test, hope they don’t ghost you.
  • Fiverr – Buy a “gig,” but good luck getting ongoing support.
  • LinkedIn – Search, message, vet, negotiate.
  • Facebook Groups – Post “Hiring,” get 100 DMs from unvetted strangers.

The problem? You become a hiring manager. You spend hours vetting. You take all the risk. And when the freelancer disappears (which they often do), you start over.

There is a better way.

The DAVA Way: Hire a VA Company, Not a Freelancer

DAVA (dial-a-virtualassistant.com) is not a freelance marketplace. We are a fully managed virtual assistant company serving businesses in the United Kingdom, United States, and Canada.

You do not search. You do not vet. You do not manage payroll or contracts.

You simply tell us what you need, and we assign a professional VA to your business – usually within 24-48 hours.

Why DAVA Is the Best Place to “Find” a VA

1. We Cover All Three Major Markets

DAVA has dedicated teams in:

  • The United Kingdom (GMT timezone, GDPR compliant)
  • The United States (EST, CST, MST, PST coverage)
  • Canada (including bilingual English/French VAs)

Your VA will understand your local business culture, banking, tax laws, and holidays.

2. You Get a Pre-Vetted Professional

Every DAVA VA goes through:

  • Background checks
  • Skills testing (software, communication, task management)
  • Soft skills interviews (personality, reliability, proactiveness)

You never get a “side hustle” student or someone juggling 10 other clients.

3. White-Glove Matching

We do not use algorithms. A real person from our team learns about your business, your software stack, and your working style. Then we hand-pick 2-3 VAs for you to choose from.

4. No Long-Term Contracts

Hate being locked in? So do we.

  • Month-to-month only.
  • Cancel anytime with 30 days’ notice.
  • Minimum 10 hours per week.

5. Replacement Guarantee

If your VA is not the right fit within the first 30 days, we replace them for free. No questions asked.

6. We Handle Everything Behind the Scenes

When you hire a freelancer, you deal with:

  • Invoicing
  • Time tracking disputes
  • Payroll taxes (if they are in your country)
  • Backup coverage when they are sick

When you hire DAVA, we handle all of that. You just delegate tasks.

7. Dedicated Customer Success Manager (CSM)

Every DAVA client gets a committed Customer Success Manager (CSM) who ensures you are getting the most value from your VA.

8. Full Access to the DAVA Workspace App

We provide complimentary access to the DAVA Workspace App – everything you need to work smarter and scale with ease.
