What Makes Virtual Wizards Different?
Why work with with Virtual Wizards?
Virtual Wizards helps you hire dedicated, full-time LATAM professionals who work directly inside your tools, processes, and culture. Our goal is to help you build long-term team capacity, not temporary outsourced support.
Are there ongoing fees or monthly markups?
No.
Virtual Wizards charges a one-time placement fee. After that, you pay the associate directly. There are no subscriptions, monthly percentages, or hidden costs.
You can use our Salary Calculator to view estimated fees based on the role and experience level you’re looking to hire.
What makes Virtual Wizards different?
We follow a direct placement model.
This means:
- You hire the associate directly
- There is no middleman after placement
- The associate keeps more of what they earn
We believe this creates stronger working relationships, better performance, and long-term retention for both sides.
Do I own the relationship with the associate?
Yes. From day one, the working relationship is entirely yours.
The associate works exclusively with your company, integrates into your team, and aligns with your goals – without being managed by a third party.
How does this help with retention?
When associates are paid fairly and feel connected to the company they work for, they tend to stay longer and perform better.
Because there’s no ongoing agency layer, the relationship feels more stable and long-term which benefits everyone involved.
What if the hire doesn’t work out?
We offer a free replacement guarantee for up to 3 months. If the candidate isn’t the right fit during the guarantee period, we’ll replace them at no additional cost.
How do I pay the associate?
You pay the associate directly using tools such as:
- Wise
- Remitly
- Gusto
- Rippling
We’ll support you by collecting all required banking details after the agreement is signed to make payments simple and seamless.
Is there a middleman involved after hiring?
No. Once the hire is complete, there’s no agency layer between you and the associate.
This allows:
- Clear communication
- Greater trust
- More money going directly to the person doing the work
Why do companies choose Virtual Wizards?
Because they want:
- Transparent pricing
- Direct relationships
- Fair compensation for talent
- Long-term, stable team members
Our model is simple, ethical, and designed to work for both companies and professionals.
