How it works
Hiring KeyPlayers, made simple.
Four steps. You are never charged for any of them until someone starts. Everyone we place is trained before day one and works inside our workspace, so the week you hand over actually comes off your plate.
1
A call to scope the role
Thirty minutes. What you need off your plate, the hours, the time zone and the kind of person who actually fits.

YouThe short version
Nobody actually wants to hire someone.
They want a problem to go away. Most of the time the thing that makes it go away is a trained human being in the right seat.
- Start here
01You have a problem, not a vacancy
Nobody wakes up wanting to hire. They want the inbox handled, the follow-up done and the month closed on time.
- We listen first
02We work out what the problem actually is
One call. Often the role you thought you needed is not the one that takes the most off you, and we will say so.
- KeyMatch
03We match on more than a CV
Our matching system weighs skills, tools, working style and communication, then we headhunt against that profile.
- The Academy
04They are trained before they meet you
Screened, tested on real tasks and taken through KeyPlayers Academy, so nobody learns the basics on your time.
- It keeps going
05The training never really stops
Ongoing coaching and a client success manager, because the problem you have in month six is not the one you had in week one.
The roles
Tell us the seat. We'll find the person.
Every one of these starts at $1,497 a month, and you pay nothing until they start.

What owners say
In their own words.
Rated 5 stars on Trustpilot
Hands down the best VA company!
We’ve been using KeyPlayers HQ for 6 months and it transformed our business. From simple daily tasks to larger SOPs, our VAs handle everything with ease. I couldn’t see my business running as smoothly as it does without our KeyPlayers team beside us.
Great company!
They quickly found us a virtual assistant who has been reliable, responsive, and made a noticeable difference in our day-to-day operations. Professional, supportive, and always open to feedback. Highly recommend to any mortgage professional looking to streamline their workflow.
Very transparent company
Very transparent company, very strong processes and procedures in place for follow-up, security and privacy. Very collaborative on what I was looking for and have followed through on all of their stated expectations.
Some of the best talent
KeyPlayers has some of the best talent for the best price. Highly recommend.

Hold on there, tiger
This isn’t for everyone.
Four things need to be true before we’ll work together.
- 1
You’re doing $1M+ a year, or close to it.
Below that, you’re usually better off doing it yourself a little longer.
- 2
You want a teammate for years.
We place people who become part of your team. If you’re after the cheapest option for a three-month stopgap, we’ll happily point you elsewhere.
- 3
You’ll actually hand things off.
If you plan to rewrite every email they send, you’ll waste a great hire.
- 4
You’ll show up for onboarding.
Give us a few hours to learn how you work, and your KeyPlayer runs with it from there.
Still here? Good. You’re exactly who we built this for.

Questions
Hold on, let me grab my cue cards.
These are the questions we have been asked by 200+ business owners. Here are the answers, before you have to ask.
Four reasons. Fewer than 1% of applicants clear our bar, so the person you meet is someone we already stand behind. You approve them before they start, so nobody is assigned to you. A client success team checks in on every placement, so small problems get fixed before they are big ones. And SOPs and workflows are written down as they learn, so a replacement picks up where the last one left off.
Updated October 2026
From Mitch Conquer, Founder & CEO
Dear founder,
Let’s be honest for a second.
You didn’t start a company to answer email at 11pm.
But here you are.
Inbox sitting at 312. Three proposals you meant to send on Tuesday. A calendar that belongs to everyone except you.
*refreshes inbox* 313.
You know you should hand it off. You’ve probably even tried.
Maybe it was a freelancer who was brilliant for three weeks, then vanished.
Maybe it was a big-name firm that charged a premium and sent you someone who still needed managing.
Maybe you hired locally, paid a full salary, and still ended up writing the follow-ups yourself.
So now you do it all. Because at least then it gets done.
Here’s the catch.
Every hour you spend in your inbox is an hour you’re not selling, building, or sitting at dinner with the people you started this for.
Your business can only grow as fast as your calendar lets it.
We know, because we tried every option out there to fix it for ourselves. So we built the one we wished existed. We find you one exceptional assistant, train them to work with AI, and stand behind them for as long as you’re with us. Then we build the rest of your team around them.
Here’s how it works, and why it holds up where the others fell apart.
*cue angels singing*
P.S. You could keep answering email at 11pm. Keep telling yourself you’ll hire someone once things calm down. (They won’t. You know that.)
Or you could take a 60-second application, meet the person who takes it all off your plate, and decide with zero risk.
The TL;DR
We hire the top 1% of assistants, train them on AI, and manage them for you. You meet yours before you pay anything, and if they’re ever the wrong fit, we replace them for life. Doing $1M+ a year? Find your KeyPlayer.
Okay, hit the green button
