What you get
Absolute support so you can focus on growth
Illustrative. Your role is scoped from your week, not from a template.
Not because it’s hard. Because the other work gets there first.
“I quote late, and I lose jobs because of it.”
Quoting is the highest-value hour in the week, and it’s the one that gets pushed.
“The admin isn’t hard. It’s just always there.”
Fifteen small tasks a day is a part-time job nobody was hired for.
“I’d hire someone, but not for forty hours.”
The work is real. It just isn’t full-time, and it isn’t worth a local salary yet.
Not the decisions. The doing that sits either side of them.
Illustrative — drawn from tasks we already run for businesses like yours.
A marketplace hands you a profile. A recruiter hands you a candidate. Both stop at the start date. This is what we keep doing after it.
Before anyone is proposed, the role is written down with you: the tasks, the hours, the systems, the handover points and what good looks like in the first month.
You are not sent a shortlist to sift. We propose someone we employ and already know, and you meet them before anything is signed.
Four to six weeks of structured onboarding against your systems and your protocols, with check-ins scheduled rather than hoped for, so the role beds in instead of drifting.
One named person at Linkora owns the engagement for as long as it runs. If something isn’t working, sorting it out is our job rather than another thing on your list.
Nothing happens without you agreeing to it first. There is nothing to sign to get a price.
A short form, about two minutes. Tick the tasks that keep landing on you. No call needed to get started.
Within two business days you get a written role outline and an indicative price for a role like yours. Nothing to sign, no placement fee.
We propose someone from our own team, with the reasons we picked them. You meet them, and you decide.
Four to six weeks of structured onboarding, then ongoing check-ins and a named contact for as long as the role runs.
The scope is administrative by design. Knowing the edges is what makes a role safe to hand over.
They don’t make the call on price, scope or a customer dispute. They prepare it so you can make it in two minutes instead of twenty.
No payment authority and no bank access. They prepare payments; you release them.
Contracts, quotes above your threshold and anything binding stays with you.
They work in your tools, on accounts you own, with the least access the task needs.
No licensed trade, legal, tax or clinical work. The admin around it, never the work itself.
Access is revoked the day an engagement ends. That’s ours to action, not yours to remember.
No. The VAs are employed by Linkora rather than sourced from a marketplace and handed over. That’s the whole difference — after the start date there is still somebody accountable, and it isn’t you.
Yes. Most first roles start between fifteen and twenty-five hours. Starting small and growing the scope works far better than the reverse, and we’d rather scope it honestly than oversell the hours.
It depends on the role, so we scope it before we quote. Tell us what’s eating your week and you’ll have an indicative figure within two business days. There’s no placement fee.
You meet them before anything is signed, which catches most of it early. If it still isn’t right once they’ve started, sorting it out is our job — that’s what the managed part means.
Usually two to four weeks from your first enquiry, then four to six weeks of structured onboarding after that.
You direct the work — nobody knows your business better. What you don’t carry is the performance management, the training structure or the what-happens-if-this-stops-working, which sits with us.
60-second role check
Five questions. No email needed to see the result.
Question 1 of 5
Pick the closest. Roles often combine more than one.
Question 2 of 5
A guess is fine — working this out is part of scoping.
Question 3 of 5
No wrong answer — it tells us what to avoid repeating.
Question 4 of 5
The bit you'd pay to never do again.
Question 5 of 5
This only changes what we send you next.
Based on your answers
You've used a freelancer marketplace
Then you already know where the effort lands: you screen the profiles, you write the training, you manage the work, and you start again if they leave. The tasks get done; the management never leaves your desk. A managed engagement moves that part to us.
You've used a recruitment agency
An agency's job finishes on the start date. Ours starts there. Onboarding, coaching against a written brief and cover when things change are the parts a placement fee doesn't buy — and a replacement usually means paying it again.
You've tried a local part-time hire
Usually it's not the person, it's the maths: not enough hours to justify the cost, and reception or the office manager absorbs the overflow anyway. A scoped role gives you the hours you actually need without the local overhead.
This would be your first time
Most of our clients hadn't used a VA before either. You don't need a tidy list or a process manual — we write the role brief with you, and you approve it before anyone starts.
What Linkora handles
We propose a VA from our own team whose experience fits your brief. You meet them before anything is signed, and if the fit isn't right we keep looking. No placement fee either way.
Access, tools, security basics and written expectations, structured across the first four to six weeks with Linkora running it — not improvised by you in the gaps.
You set the priorities and make the decisions; your VA owns the agreed tasks. Regular check-ins and coaching sit with us, so you're not running the arrangement alone.
Cover is arranged with you before anything changes, and if the fit stops working we propose a replacement from our team and manage the handover.
You'll have an indicative price within two business days, and typically two to four weeks from here to a first day.
That's comfortable — scoping and matching usually take two to four weeks, so there's room to get the brief right.
No commitment needed. An indicative price and a draft role brief are useful even if the answer turns out to be later.
Admin support only. Clinical judgement, and tax, BAS and legal advice, stay with your practitioners and advisers.
