About Valatam

View company profile

Valatam understands that many businesses and entrepreneurs face the challenge of managing time-consuming, repetitive tasks that can hinder growth and overwhelm existing teams. These operational burdens often prevent companies from focusing on their core competencies and strategic objectives. The 'gig' culture, high turnover rates, internet instability, language barriers, and significant time zone differences associated with traditional outsourcing destinations can further complicate efforts to scale efficiently. This is why Valatam offers a specialized solution by connecting businesses, particularly in the US and Canada, with highly qualified, bilingual virtual assistants from Latin America.

Our customers benefit from access to a talent pool that operates in similar time zones, shares cultural affinities, and possesses strong educational backgrounds, often at a significantly lower cost compared to hiring in-house North American employees. Valatam meticulously vets all virtual assistants through a rigorous 9-step recruitment process, ensuring that clients are matched with top-tier professionals capable of handling a wide array of tasks, including administrative support, customer service, marketing, and finance. We handle the entire lifecycle from hiring and onboarding to payments and retention, allowing our clients to seamlessly integrate remote team members and optimize their operations. By alleviating the strain of day-to-day tasks, Valatam empowers businesses to reduce hiring expenses, improve productivity, and drive sustainable growth without compromising on quality.
