Smart business owners save $65,000+ per year by choosing virtual assistants over traditional staffing agencies.
This guide shows you exactly why Stealth Agents beats the competition every time.
Quick Overview: Stealth Agents Vs Cornerstone Staffing
| Factor | Details |
|---|---|
| Monthly Investment | $1,600/month (full-time, dedicated) |
| Staffing Agency Equivalent Cost | Admin salary + fees = $75,000+/year |

Stealth Agents gives you dedicated help without the high costs and long contracts of traditional staffing companies.
Traditional staffing agencies charge markups averaging 50 to 75 percent above the worker's pay rate, with administrative and light industrial placements seeing the highest markup percentages, making alternative staffing models increasingly attractive to cost conscious businesses.
The Hidden Cost Of Traditional Staffing Agencies
Most business owners think staffing agencies are their only option for getting help.
The truth is you pay huge markups for the same work a virtual assistant can do.
Companies waste $47,000 per year on staffing agency fees that could go back into growing their business.
Plus, you get stuck with long contracts and no backup when someone quits.
Tasks Your Stealth Agent Can Handle
| Category | Specific Tasks | Time Saved |
|---|---|---|

| Marketing | Social media, content creation, lead research | 12 hours/week |
| Sales Support | CRM updates, follow-ups, appointment setting | 18 hours/week |
| Bookkeeping | Invoice creation, expense tracking, reports | 10 hours/week |
Your Stealth Agent becomes an expert in your business and handles all these tasks with zero training time.
Unlike staffing agencies that send different people, you get the same dedicated person every day.
This means better work quality and no time wasted explaining things over and over.
Stealth Agents screens over 50,000 candidates to find your perfect match, while most staffing agencies just send whoever is available that day.
