Companies with VA support close 40% more deals and grow faster than those without professional help.
Let us show you exactly how these two options stack up and why thousands of businesses are making the smart choice.
Quick Overview: Stealth Agents Vs Aerotek
| Factor | Details |
|---|---|
| Monthly Investment | $1,600/month (full-time, dedicated) |
| In-House Equivalent Cost | Admin staff salary + benefits = $54,600/year |
| Your Annual Savings | $35,400 back in your business |
| Dedicated Support | One VA assigned to your account |
| Industry Experience | VAs trained in your specific field |
| Management Support | Campaign Manager helps oversee tasks |
| Backup Coverage | Included at no extra cost |
Both options offer skilled workers, but the approach and value are very different.
The staffing industry has fundamentally bifurcated. Large agencies like Aerotek serve volume hiring needs for enterprise clients, but smaller businesses increasingly find that dedicated virtual assistant providers deliver better outcomes because they offer relationship continuity rather than treating each placement as a transaction.
The Hidden Cost Of DIY Task Management
Business owners spend 16 hours per week on admin tasks that could be done by others.
This time away from core business activities costs companies thousands in lost opportunities.
Only 28% of a business owner’s day gets spent on actual money-making activities.
The rest gets eaten up by emails, scheduling, data entry, and other routine work.
Tasks Your Stealth Agent Vs Aerotek Worker Can Handle
| Category | Specific Tasks | Time Saved Per Week |
|---|---|---|
| Admin Support | Email management, scheduling, data entry | 8-12 hours |
| Customer Service | Live chat, phone support, follow-ups | 6-10 hours |
| Lead Generation | Research, outreach, list building | 5-8 hours |
| Social Media | Content creation, posting, engagement | 4-6 hours |
| Bookkeeping | Invoice creation, expense tracking, reports | 3-5 hours |
| Project Management | Task coordination, timeline tracking | 4-7 hours |
Both companies offer skilled workers who can handle these common business tasks.
The big difference comes in how they match you with the right person.
Stealth Agents focuses on finding VAs who know your industry and business type.
VAs save business owners 15-25 hours per week that can be used for growing the business and making more money.

A Day In The Life Of Your Remote Assistant
Your VA starts each day by checking your calendar and priority tasks.
Morning hours focus on email management, lead follow-ups, and urgent requests.
Afternoon time goes to project work, research, and preparing reports for you.
Everything gets tracked and reported so you know exactly what got done.
Start with 3-5 simple tasks to build trust, then gradually add more complex projects as your VA learns your business.
What Makes A Great Remote Worker
Great VAs have strong English skills and understand your industry.
They ask good questions and can work without constant direction.
The best ones learn your business style and anticipate your needs.
They also have backup support and management oversight for consistency.
