In short, I am impressed.
Talent Gurus is the fourth VA company I have used and the only one I am sticking with. They deliver quality results in a timely manner and are professional, communicate well, *consistent*, and use good judgment. There is a learning curve in how to write up tasks, but these guys are more intuitive and better trained than other places. The difference is that Talent Gurus gives you what you really want, while some others just meet your (minimum) requirements.
There are other good VAs out there, but Talent Gurus delivers consistent quality on deadlines with flexible pricing and no 30-minute time limit on tasks. (This time limit was a huge problem for me with other companies.) The affordability is great, too. Most of their customers are small / startup businesses (like me), and their flexibility really caters to us.
If you have a small business and are shopping around for a VA, save yourself the time. Talent Gurus is who you want. Since I signed up for a business VA with them, I have signed up for a personal one, too, and recommended them to friends, family, and business associates. In less than two weeks with my business VA, my business productive shot up, my stress level dropped, I got my time back, and I was actually happy to be in business again.

Reminder: You do need to learn how to write tasks with any VA to save time on the back-and-forth and get the results you want. I made a task template with headers of Task, Audience, Purpose, Target Date, Specifics, etc.
