Virtual Gurus leverages proprietary technology to match organizations with highly skilled Canadian and American virtual assistants. Whether an organization needs a dedicated assistant, special project support, or help with occasional tasks they're your people.

They look for people who are passionate, not content to let things happen; show empathy towards clients and virtual assistants and not operate from a place of solitude without asking questions; who are diligent in their work, but not controlling; and work to show a high level of competence without trying to achieve perfection.

Belief in their social mission fuels them to deliver exceptional experiences to clients, so they can continue to provide opportunities to their virtual assistants. They walk the talk on equity, diversity and inclusion. In support of their social mission, candidates who identify as Indigenous, BIack, Person of Colour, woman and/or 2SLGBTQIA+ will be given preference in the selection process [s16(1) CHRA].
