It helps to know exactly what kind of platform you're using. This article explains what jobs.virtualassistantinternational.com is — and clears up what it's not.

## Is VA International a staffing or recruitment agency?
No. It's a self-serve job board. Employers post their own vacancies and search VA profiles themselves; VAs create their own profile and, once they have a paid membership, apply to vacancies themselves. There's no agency assigning candidates to roles in between, and no placement fees.

## Does VA International match or assign VAs to jobs for me?
No. The platform gives employers the tools to search, message, and review candidates directly, and gives VAs the tools to browse listings and, with a paid membership, apply and message employers directly. Who talks to whom, and who's hired, is decided by the employer and the VA — not by VA International on their behalf.

## Does VA International handle payment between employers and VAs?
No. VA International is a job board that connects employers and VAs — it isn't a payment processor or payroll provider. Once you're working together, you and the other party agree on payment terms directly between yourselves.

## Does VA International charge a placement fee or commission?
No. There are no placement fees for hiring through the platform.

## Is the jobs platform connected to VA International's training courses?
Yes — both are part of VA International. The training program and the jobs platform work together, but you don't need to complete training to create a profile and use the jobs platform.

## Who reviews what gets posted?
Job listings publish immediately once submitted, so employers don't wait to start receiving applications. The team also reviews listings after they go live and can correct or remove ones that don't meet the platform's guidelines.
