yesVIRTUAL and CGX, Explained
Both companies place remote team members. What each one is built to solve is different.
What yesVIRTUAL Does
yesVIRTUAL is an Arizona-based company that places virtual assistants and remote team members based in the Philippines and Mexico. According to their site, they act as your employer of record: they handle payroll, benefits, taxes and local employment compliance so you can hire abroad without setting up a legal entity in that country.
They train through their own internal program, offer a managed model with in-country supervisors plus a dedicated relationship manager, and also offer a direct-hire placement option where you employ the person yourself.

Employment vs. Operations
One solves the hiring problem. The other solves the operating problem.
You can have the employment side handled perfectly — payroll compliant, benefits paid, supervisor checking in — and still lose jobs every week, because leads land in four places, nothing follows up automatically, and the CRM was never set up to move a job from first call to final invoice.
yesVIRTUAL answers
Who legally employs this person and who pays them? That’s a real problem, and hiring across borders without help is expensive and slow.
CGX answers
What does this person plug into once they start? The processes, CRM, and follow-up that turn their work into booked jobs.

Choose Based on Your Bottleneck
When yesVIRTUAL Is the Right Call
Choose an employer-of-record staffing company like yesVIRTUAL if:
- You want to employ people overseas legally, without opening an entity abroad
- Payroll, benefits and local labor compliance are what’s stopping you
- Your systems and follow-up already work; you just need more hands inside them
When CGX Is the Better Fit
Choose a systems-first partner like CGX if:
- You’re not sure whether you need a person, a process, or better software
- Your CRM exists but nobody set it up to actually manage the work
- You want one team handling people, systems and marketing instead of three vendors
Hiring Problem or Operating Problem?
The right choice depends on whether your hardest problem is employing people compliantly, or running the operation they work inside.
If the hiring and payroll side is what’s blocking you, an employer-of-record staffing company is built for exactly that. If work keeps falling through the cracks and you can’t quite name where, start with a diagnosis instead of a hire.
Is CGX an employer of record?
No. CGX places and manages remote team members inside your operation, but we don’t act as the legal employer or run payroll in another country. If that’s your main need, an employer-of-record provider is the right category.
Is CGX a yesVIRTUAL competitor?
Only partially. Both are Arizona companies that place remote team members, so there’s overlap. But CGX starts with an assessment and can also build your CRM, automations, AI call capture, website and marketing.
