The idea

The VAinUSA referral program explained.

You get paid to refer virtual assistant jobs to people you already know are good at what they do. Refer someone, and once they are placed with a US company through VAinUSA, you receive a cash referral bonus, paid once your referral is placed. It is free to join the program, and there is no limit on how many people you can refer.

1

You share your referral.

You send a friend who would make a strong VA our way, whether that is a link, our name, or just a heads up that they should apply. It takes a minute and costs nothing.

2

They apply and get placed.

Your friend goes through the same free process every candidate does: apply, interview, skills check, and a match to a real US company that needs what they do.

3

You get paid.

Once your referral is placed and starts working, you receive a cash referral bonus. Refer another friend next month, and you get paid again. There is no cap.

What happens after you refer someone.

When you refer friends to remote virtual assistant jobs, you are introducing them to the exact same process every VAinUSA candidate goes through: a free application, a real interview, a skills check, and a match to a US company that needs their skills. Nothing about it is different because they came from you, except that you get thanked with a bonus once they are placed.

How much you earn per referral

The exact bonus amount is confirmed when you refer, since it can vary. What stays the same every time is that it is a cash referral bonus, paid once your referral is placed and has started work, not just for applying or interviewing. We would rather reward a referral that turns into a real job than pay out for a name on a list.

Good to know

It is free to join the referral program, and there is no limit on how many people you can refer. Refer one friend or ten, every placement earns its own bonus.

Why it works this way

Simple, honest, and worth doing more than once.

Free to join

No sign up fee and no catch. Referring someone costs the same as applying yourself: nothing.

No limit

Refer as many friends as you want. Every one who gets placed earns you a separate bonus.

Paid once they are placed

Your bonus pays out when your referral is hired and starts working, not before. Real placements, real pay.

Common questions

How does the referral program work?+
You refer a friend who would make a strong virtual assistant. They apply for free just like you did, interview, and go through a skills check. Once they are placed with a US company and start working, you receive a cash referral bonus. It costs nothing to refer, and you can refer as many people as you want.
How much is the referral bonus?+
The exact amount is confirmed when you refer, since it can vary. What stays the same is that it is a real cash bonus, paid once your referral is placed and has started work, not just for applying. We will walk you through the current amount when you submit your referral.
Is there a limit on how many people I can refer?+
No. You can refer as many friends as you want, and each one who gets placed earns you a separate bonus. There is no cap and no reason to hold back if you know more than one person who would be a good fit.
Do I need to already be a VAinUSA virtual assistant to refer someone?+
No. Anyone can refer a friend, whether you are already placed with us, currently applying, or just know someone who would be a strong fit. The only requirement is that your referral applies and gets placed.
When do I actually get paid for a referral?+
Your bonus pays out once your referral is placed with a US company and starts working, not when they simply apply or interview. This way the referral program rewards real placements, not just names on a list.
