How StandOutVA Works
Meet the Team Behind StandOutVA
Jay Arguelles
Founder & CEO
I'm the one you'll work with during your Sprint.
We handle all:
-
Sourcing and testing 10–15 VAs per Sprint on YOUR real tasks
-
Presenting top 3 finalists with detailed scorecards showing test task results
-
Running your 4 weekly coaching calls (Weeks 1–4) to onboard and train your VA
-
Performance tracking and guarantee fulfillment (48-hour replacement if VA isn't a fit)
Before StandOutVA:
I spent 5+ years as a Brand Manager at an E-commerce FBA Aggregator, scaling Amazon brands and managing remote teams across the Philippines. I've built systems for product sourcing, customer service, operations, and hired (and fired) 50+ VAs along the way.
Why I built
StandOutVA
I kept seeing clients make the same mistakes I did:
-
Hiring VAs too fast (posted on OnlineJobs.ph, hired first applicant)
-
No test tasks (hoping they "figure it out")
-
No training systems (expecting them to learn their own)
The result? Ghosting. Underperformance. Constant hand-holding.
So I built the system I WISH I had 5 years ago: test-first hiring,
structured onboarding, and a 48-hour replacement guarantee.
No guesswork. No hiring disasters. Just results.
