## What WiseVAs does (in one paragraph)

WiseVAs is a virtual assistant placement and management company. We recruit, vet, and place LATAM virtual assistants with US-based clients. Unlike traditional VA marketplaces, WiseVAs handles the contracts, payments, monthly AI training, and engagement surveys, so the client gets a fully managed VA experience for one flat monthly fee. VAs are personality-matched to the client and trained to use AI tools to be roughly 3x more productive than traditional VAs.
