Background
When Katonga Wright, founder of The Wright Legal Group, set out to expand her team, she was no stranger to hiring virtual assistants. Her firm had worked with a staffing company in Mexico before—but the process was slow, the candidate quality was hit-or-miss, and finding strong English-speaking professionals was a challenge.
“We struggled with finding good candidates with the other companies,” Katonga explained. “The quality just wasn’t there.”
Faced with an urgent need for a sales role hire, and later a marketing role hire. Katonga decided to give Remote Leverage a try after seeing an ad.
The Challenges
The Remote Leverage Experience
Katonga was matched with Stephanie, her hiring manager, who worked alongside the recruiting team to deeply understand her needs.
Within days, Katonga and her team were interviewing high-quality candidates that exceeded expectations.
“It was definitely faster. The quality of candidates was much higher. In fact, we wanted to hire all of them as they all fit what we were looking for.”
What stood out was not only speed but also the efficiency of the process. Instead of sifting through dozens of applications, The Wright Legal Group was presented with a shortlist of vetted, skilled candidates. Each carefully matched to their criteria
Two VAs hired successfully:
Faster hiring process: Candidates were ready to interview almost immediately.
Higher-quality applicants: Every candidate met the firm’s needs, making the decision harder in a good way.
Cost savings long-term: Unlike staffing agencies that charge ongoing monthly fees, Remote Leverage’s one-time payment model allowed Katonga to invest upfront and retain her VAs without recurring markups.
Katonga also appreciated the guarantee that made the initial investment feel low-risk.
