Amazon Virtual Assistant
Placement Service
Ready to hire a Virtual Assistant for your Amazon business?
Hiring a VA is time-consuming and it takes experience to know how to find the best talent. The wrong hire can cost you time and money.
Let us take this task off your hands so you can focus on running your business.
We recruit VAs with Amazon work experience, as well as candidates new to the business who demonstrate exceptional aptitude.
For candidates new to Amazon, we accept only the top 1% of applicants.
How It Works
Your new VA—ready in 3 steps
Time is money—and hiring the wrong VA costs both.
Instead of spending hours reviewing applications or onboarding the wrong person, we do the hard work for you. We start by understanding your business, your workflow, and your goals—then match you with the right VA based on your needs—so you can focus on making money.
We work with our VAs before they ever touch your business. We wouldn’t place a VA we wouldn’t be willing to hire ourselves.
Plan
We start by discussing your business needs. A non-refundable $200 deposit starts the process.
Recruit & Train
We recruit and interview candidates, typically trialing three VAs for each position. We select the strongest fit and customize their training.
Hire
Once you’ve paid the full placement fee, you’ll receive your VA’s contact information and can begin onboarding. We provide 30 days of onboarding support and a 90-day replacement guarantee.
What's Included
Training customized for your business
We customize each VA’s training plan around the work they’ll perform for your business, allowing us to focus our training hours on what matters most to you as the seller.
All VAs—experienced or not—receive access to our core curriculum. It gives new Amazon VAs a strong foundation while helping experienced VAs refresh their skills and fill any gaps in their knowledge.

Administrative lessons are selected based on what is relevant to the VA’s position.

We stand behind every placement

Behind the scenes
What I look for in a VA
Monika — Founder, Pacific VA Training
In the past nine months alone, I've screened over 4,000 Amazon VA applications. I recruit both experienced VAs and those new to Amazon — all of whom go through the same rigorous training program and internship.
Experienced VAs typically command a higher rate. Either way, what matters most is finding the right person. Everything else can be taught.
Ability to follow instructions
A meticulous VA who follows instructions carefully means less time repeating yourself and checking their work — you want someone you can trust, knowing the job is being handled. This is the #1 thing I screen for.
Reliability
Do they show up on time and do the work — without a lot of sick days or schedule changes? I work with every VA for four weeks before placement, which is plenty of time to see exactly how someone operates.
Communication skills
Most VAs work in English as a second language — so we test both written and spoken English. You need a VA you can give instructions to and know they've understood. The best VAs also take ownership — they ask questions when unsure rather than waiting for you to catch a mistake.
Intelligence
Every seller wants the smartest VA that fits their budget — and for good reason. You're busy. You need someone who can connect the dots without needing every single thing spelled out.
Commitment
I only accept VAs who are dedicated to Amazon VA work as a career path. If someone is juggling school or seeing Amazon as a temporary gig, they don't get in. Your VA needs to show up for you fully.
I only place VAs I would hire for my own business. If they don't meet my standards, they don't get placed — simple as that.
The Pacific VA Difference
Built by a seller, for sellers
Hi! I'm Monika. I've been selling on Amazon for nearly 4 years and I use VAs in my own business. After working with dozens of VAs myself, I know exactly what separates a great hire from a costly mistake.
Active Amazon seller — nearly 4 years
I know what a VA needs to do because I do this work myself every day.
I've worked with dozens of VAs
I've seen every type of hire — good and bad. That experience shapes every placement I make.
Active in seller communities
I stay plugged into what sellers actually need — and continuously refine the curriculum so our VAs stay ahead of the curve.
Built on real feedback
Input from both VAs and sellers shapes everything we do — so our training reflects what actually works in the real world.
PRICING
Simple, transparent pricing
No monthly retainers. No ongoing fees. You pay once when we place a VA who's the right fit.
Flat fee, no surprises. Pay once at placement.
Flat fee, no surprises. Pay once at placement.
