How Haus of Her Studios Saved Money & Gained a Highly Qualified VA with Remote Leverage

Case Study: How Haus of Her Studios Saved Money & Gained a Highly Qualified VA with Remote Leverage

Client Background

As a first-time virtual assistant employer, Heather Cox, owner of Haus of Her Studios, was understandably nervous about the process. Her existing assistant in the U.S. was highly valuable—but expensive—and Heather needed a way to reduce business costs without sacrificing quality.

She knew that finding the right person on her own could take weeks, if not months. Instead, she wanted an expert hiring partner who could deliver pre-vetted, qualified candidates quickly.

The Challenges

• First-time hiring a virtual assistant
  
  
• Need to replace a high-cost U.S.-based assistant with an equally or more qualified professional at a better rate
  
  
• Limited time to search and vet candidates herself
  
  

Desire for a stress-free, guided process

Why They Chose Remote Leverage

From the first call, Heather felt at ease with her dedicated hiring manager, Torin:

• Thorough, organized process — Every step was clear, with follow-up emails providing all setup information
  
  
• Fast candidate sourcing — Eliminated weeks of searching by delivering multiple pre-vetted candidates at once

“I didn’t have to stress about literally anything. All the details were taken care of.”
