1. Access to Better Talent
Instead of only being able to access candidates in your vicinity, you can access the best talent from the entire world.
If you’re hiring someone in-person, the available candidate pool is much smaller, especially if you’re in a more rural area.
By choosing to hire remote, you gain access to a much larger pool of candidates and can cherry pick the best of the best!
2. Remote Workers Will Save You Money
You’ll usually save a lot of money by hiring remotely. Here are some of the benefits:
No commuting costs: Remote workers don’t need to commute, and these cost savings can be passed onto you.
Cost of living: In other countries, the cost of living is lower, which translates into savings on labor costs.
Equipment: You do not have to buy new computers or equipment for these workers, as they have their own.
3. Get work done while you sleep
Theoretically, you could have a 24-hour work cycle if you split your workflow between three different time zones.
When one worker clocks out, another one would be clocking in and production would never stop. Everyone would work at their preferred times and nobody would have to do a graveyard shift - while they’re off, someone else is actively working.
For example, you could have UX/UI designers in America creating designs during the day so engineers in India can develop through the night. Personally, we believe this will lead to groundbreaking changes in global productivity once implemented on a large-scale.
4. Commercial real estate is expensive
Commercial real estate is expensive. You don’t need any additional physical space when you hire a virtual assistant, nor will you have to spend the time setting up a physical workstation.
5. Easier and faster hiring process
The process of hiring a virtual assistant is faster than a traditional employee. There’s usually much less paperwork and bureaucracy involved.
At Proffer, we pre-vet candidates so we can connect to you with a highly qualified virtual assistant in less than 48 hours. We make the process so easy, you barely have to lift a finger!
Hiring remote workers is a trend that’s here to stay. In fact, this trend is only going to increase in popularity as more of the world gets connected to the Internet.
Virtual assistants might be the key to bringing your business to the next level.
