Armasourcing publishes original hiring and pay research from its own application records, then hands reporters the underlying numbers. Coverage, source reports, and everything a newsroom needs is below.
Armasourcing’s AI Visibility Index ran 480 controlled queries across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity, plus 1,485 real user answers spanning a full year. A narrow cluster of firms captures most of the visibility when AI assistants recommend outsourcing services: one answering-service provider appears in more than 85% of queries, while no virtual assistant or SMB outsourcing firm exceeds 60%.
We publish the index anyway, because the alternative is an industry measuring itself with numbers nobody can check.
Eli Gutilban, Founder and CEO, Armasourcing
Every mention links to the publication and, where the story came from our own data, to the source report.
Coverage of the AI Visibility Index, built on 480 controlled queries across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity. No virtual assistant or SMB outsourcing firm exceeded 60% visibility.
Coverage of the Filipino Virtual Assistant Salary Report 2026. The middle 50% of applicants ask between $571 and $900 a month, and the experience premium is a shallow 13%.
Coverage of the Customer Service Screening Report 2026. Candidates who pasted averaged 69.0 on the written test against 48.1 for those who did not, reframing the score as a signal of tool access.
The original release announcing the Customer Service Screening Report: 1,848 scored voice recordings and 699 timed written assessments with full browser telemetry.
Launch coverage of ArmaOPS, the operating layer that pairs trained Filipino specialists with AI workflows instead of selling either one on its own.
Every figure quoted in the coverage above comes from one of these reports. All are free, public, and drawn from first-party application and assessment records rather than survey panels.
Which outsourcing firms AI assistants actually name. 480 controlled queries across four assistants, plus 1,485 real user answers.
Browser telemetry on what unproctored written tests really measure, and what changes when a candidate has to speak.
What Filipino VAs ask for, by role, experience band and pay structure, from first-party application records.
Which tools Filipino VAs name unprompted. AI mentions rose from zero to 5.3%, and 61.6% name no software at all.
