Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for your continued partnership with BELAY over the past several years. We appreciate your recommendation and your honesty. We’re glad to hear that remote work and access to client opportunities have been meaningful benefits for you. At the same time, we recognize how frustrating it can feel to be overlooked for engagements or to desire more agency in the matching process. Our Client Services Consultants work to thoughtfully match contractors and clients based on skills, availability, and long-term success for both parties, but we understand that this process can sometimes feel limiting or impersonal. BELAY is built on serving people well—clients and contractors alike—and we are committed to fostering a professional environment where individuals with diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds can do meaningful work and feel respected. Feedback like yours is important, and we take it seriously as we continue refining how we listen, communicate, and support our long-tenured contractors. Thank you again for the impact you’ve made through your work and for sharing your voice. We’re grateful for your contributions. Warmly, The BELAY Team

Pros

Somewhat Flexible Work from Home

Cons

Low Pay Clients pay Belay $50-$60/hr for Virtual Assistant but they don't know that Belay is only paying the VA $20/hr so they expect $60 attention. High expectations and desired attention for very low pay. VA's are in contract with Belay. So if one of their engagements want them to work for them to work for them full time outside of Belay they have to buy out the VA'a contract with Belay that could be up to $20k. If the engagement can't afford to do that they have to wait 2 years after their contract and after the VA's contract ends with Belay.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for partnering with BELAY. We’re glad to hear that the opportunity to work remotely was a positive part of your journey, as flexibility and access to meaningful work are foundational to our model. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding compensation. Client needs and scope of work vary widely, and those factors directly influence role expectations across engagements. BELAY’s role is to thoughtfully match contractors with clients whose needs, complexity, and investment align with the contractor’s experience and preferences, while also providing support beyond placement alone. Our model is designed to reduce many of the challenges independent contractors face by handling client acquisition, vetting, matching, contracts, invoicing, and collections, allowing contractors to focus on delivering excellent work rather than managing backend logistics. That said, we recognize that compensation expectations evolve and that market conditions continue to change. We regularly review the pay rate of our contractors to ensure it reflects both client demand and the value our contractors bring. Contractors are also encouraged to bring any concerns regarding their pay rate directly to their BELAY Talent Specialist. We’re grateful for your feedback and for your partnership with BELAY. Input like this helps inform ongoing improvements as we work to create sustainable, mutually beneficial partnerships for both contractors and clients. Warmly, The BELAY Team
