What is a Virtual Assistant (VA)?
A virtual assistant (VA) is an individual who provides support services in a variety of areas. They do not work out of your office, but work virtually for you from their own office. A VA is not an employee, but an independent contractor who provides services for an hourly fee or monthly retainer.
Is hiring a VA more cost effective than hiring a full time employee?
Absolutely! Hiring a full-time employee makes you liable for so many additional costs, for example:
Payroll taxes, FICA, unemployment insurance, vacation pay, employee benefits, training costs, additional office space and equipment like furniture, computers and software. The list goes on…
With a Virtual Assistant you only pay for the work you need done. A VA will have their own office space, equipment and training.
How is hiring a VA different from hiring a temp?
Hiring a temp is actually less cost effective and often less time effective than partnering with a professional, experienced Virtual Assistant. Along with your temp comes an inflated agency fee. You will also need equipment and office space for your temp. Many times a temp requires training or is not even qualified to do the work they have been sent to do for you. In addition, you may get a different temp from day-to-day and will need to spend your time retraining them.
