Built by
Mortgage Operators

Tandem wasn't created by a staffing company.

It was built by mortgage professionals who were frustrated with hiring, training, and managing administrative staff.

Everything we teach our virtual assistants comes from the systems we use inside our own mortgage business.

That's powerful.

Frequently Asked

Short answers now; we'll cover the details on a call.

How quickly can a VA start after I approve the match?

Once you’re ready to get started, we start matching, interviews, pre-training, and onboarding. Most VAs are ready to begin within approximately one week of approval, often aligned to a Monday.

Is there a deposit or setup fee?

No — there are no deposits or setup fees. You simply prepay for your VA's committed 20- or 40-hour weekly seat each pay period, so there's nothing extra due upfront.

How does billing work?

Billing is semi-monthly and paid in advance, based on a fixed rate for your VA's committed weekly hours — either 20 or 40. We track hours internally for coaching and quality, but your bill stays fixed rather than fluctuating week to week. If your VA is regularly hitting their hour cap, we'll flag it so you can upgrade seats instead of getting surprised by overages.

Can a VA work more hours than I approve?

No. VAs are not permitted to exceed approved hours. Any additional time requires written approval, and all time is tracked and documented.

Do VAs work fixed hours each day?

Scheduling is flexible and aligned to your preferences. VAs can work set daily blocks, split schedules, or after-hours shifts, depending on your needs.

How do you ensure accountability and productivity?

We use structured accountability measures, including activity tracking, productivity monitoring, and regular performance reporting.

What happens if my VA is not meeting expectations?

If performance issues arise, we will address them immediately. If needed, we provide a replacement at no additional cost, and can arrange temporary coverage to ensure continuity.

Can I request a replacement if the fit isn’t right?

Yes. You may request a replacement at any time, with no penalties or replacement fees.

Will I need to train the VA myself?

No. VAs are pre-trained prior to starting. Our onboarding process includes systems access, role alignment, and clear expectations to reduce your ramp-up time.

Can the VA work inside my existing systems and software?

Yes. VAs can securely operate within your existing tools and systems, including your Loan Origination System (LOS), using approved access methods that protect your data and workflows.

Will someone help me determine what tasks to delegate?

Yes. We provide task-planning and workflow support, with hands-on guidance during the first 30 days to ensure effective delegation and utilization.

How do I communicate tasks to my VA efficiently?

You can assign tasks in whatever format works best for you, including voice notes, end-of-day calls, screen sharing, or simple written task lists. Detailed written instructions are not required; we adapt to your communication style and help translate direction into execution.

Can a VA manage recurring tasks and ongoing administrative work?

Yes. VAs are well-suited for recurring responsibilities, such as follow-ups, administrative workflows, and routine operational tasks, provided they fall within approved hours and documented SOPs.

Can a VA assist with personal administrative tasks?

Yes. Personal administrative support is permitted, as long as it is included within approved hours and clearly defined expectations.

What if a VA needs to be terminated immediately?

If immediate termination is required, we can deploy temporary coverage while sourcing and onboarding a replacement to minimize disruption to your operations.

What differentiates Tandem Sourcing from other VA companies?

We combine no setup fees, proactive management, real accountability, direct leadership involvement, and systems we actively use ourselves, resulting in higher reliability and long-term success.

When is the best time to get started?

While you can start at any time, early in the year is often ideal for clean onboarding, workflow setup, and establishing strong operating rhythms.
