Rethinking the Cost of Hiring
For small business owners in the U.S., payroll often feels like a wall you just can’t climb. Hiring even an entry-level, full-time administrative assistant locally can set you back $4,000+ per month once you include salary, taxes, and benefits.
But here’s the breakthrough: today’s global workforce makes it possible to hire a full-time virtual assistant for under $1,200/month—without sacrificing quality, reliability, or productivity.
At GuildSteam, we help small businesses save up to 70% on staffing costs by connecting them with vetted, dedicated remote talent.
The Cost Breakdown: U.S. vs. Global Hiring
- U.S. Administrative Assistant Salary: $48,000–$55,000 per year (~$4,000–$4,600/month)
- GuildSteam Full-Time Remote Assistant: $1,200/month (~$7.25/hour)
That’s the price of a cup of coffee per hour—yet instead of caffeine, you’re fueling business growth.
This isn’t just “cheap outsourcing.” It’s about smart, sustainable hiring that keeps your business competitive.
