  • Check mark

    ClearDesk uses a personalized matching process to align each candidate with your business needs. We present one carefully selected candidate so you avoid multiple interviews.

Amazing pairing with our VA, she is thorough, polite and compassionate. We are a small, family-owned business and she has truly become another member of the family. She has taken our values and the goals we want to achieve and has been able to align with those goals. She speaks to our clients and employees with respect and compassion and has truly been an asset to our business. She has been flexible with the coverage we need and always ready to take on a new task.

Realtor, Compass

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Alex through ClearDesk, and I can’t say enough good things about her. She was an integral part of keeping the backend of my real estate team running smoothly. From managing our Google Drive and CRM, to coordinating listings, handling email communication, newsletters, and even mailings, Alex tackled it all with efficiency, professionalism, and a great attitude. She was always willing to jump in wherever needed and consistently delivered high-quality work. Her organizational skills and attention to detail helped streamline our operations, allowing our team to focus on serving clients.
