Virtual Staff Finder prices below are from virtualstafffinder.com/checkout and its terms, as of Oct 2026. WorkBase PH prices are from this site’s pricing and Done-For-You pages.
| Item | WorkBase PH | Virtual Staff Finder |
|---|---|---|

| They run the search | Direct Hire from $490, one-time, part-time or full-time. The fee is set by the role and the pay you offer, not a percentage of pay. Quote on screen after a short form. | Staff Finder setup fee of $695 one-time per virtual staff placement. Checkout text: one-time setup fee per hire, no subscriptions. |

Checkout describes ongoing HR, payroll, equipment rental and a replacement guarantee. |
| Shortlist | For straightforward roles, 2–3 screened candidates within 3 business days after the deposit. You decide. | Terms: a shortlist of up to 3 candidates, targeted within about 10 business days. The terms call that an estimate, not a guaranteed time. |
| If it does not work out | Direct Hire includes a free replacement within the first 30 days. | Terms: if the person stops within 30 days of starting, one replacement search at no additional recruitment fee. If you do not hire anyone from the shortlist, you may request a refund of the setup fee less $200, within 60 days, subject to the conditions in the terms. |
| Their wages | On a $29 post and on Direct Hire you pay the specialist directly. WorkBase PH does not take a percentage of wages. | The checkout describes a placement fee. What you pay the person after that is between you and them. We did not see a wage markup stated on the checkout page. |
WorkBase PH has a self-serve post and a done-for-you search. The $29 post does not include hand-screening. Done-For-You Hiring does the sourcing and first interviews. See how a real search worked, start to finish →
Virtual Staff Finder’s checkout is a placement order: one setup fee per hire, with an optional concierge add-on. The terms describe sourcing, interviews, reference checks and a shortlist. That is a recruited introduction, not a job board you operate yourself.
Use WorkBase PH’s $29 post when you want to read applicants yourself and you do not want a monthly hiring fee.

Pricing can vary with the role, level, hours, any additional skills and the pay you offer, so your exact price is the one on your quote.
Use Virtual Staff Finder when you want their placement process and the $695 setup fee, and when the concierge option is something you may add later. Read their terms for the refund and the 30-day replacement conditions before you order. The two replacement promises are not identical: compare the clauses, not the slogans.
