How It Works
Share your requirements: role, skills/tools, English level, time zone, and monthly hours (80 / 120 / 160 or custom).
We source, screen, and pre‑interview candidates, then send you a curated shortlist (3–5 profiles).
You interview your top picks and select the best fit.
You hire and pay the worker directly. You manage day‑to‑day work and quality.
Shortlist Policy
To balance speed with choice, we recommend **3 primary candidates** plus **up to 2 backups** (total 3–5). Every candidate is pre‑screened (ID/work‑history) and **pre‑interviewed by Lappy Lancers** before we share profiles.
Each profile includes: experience (years), key skills, tools/software, English/communication rating, time‑zone overlap, availability (80/120/160), hourly rate (USD), and short interview notes.
Pricing
Hire Direct with confidence. We charge a **flat placement fee of $499–$699 per hire** — depending on the role and skill level.
- You pay the VA directly (rates as low as $1.50/hour).
- No hidden costs. No ongoing agency markup.
- Just a one‑time fee for sourcing, screening, and presenting you with 3–5 pre‑interviewed candidates.
Tip: Use fixed monthly hour plans for planning — **80 / 120 / 160 hours** per month (or custom).
