Dear Sir,

Hiring a Virtual Employee over a full-time employee in India has a couple of interesting benefits you should consider:-

• Cost to Company!

Hiring a full-time employee leads to additional costs like health care, taxes and office equipment.

When you hire a Virtual Employee (VE), you are paying only for the service provided.

• Specialized Tasks

You can find Virtual Employees that specialise in fields like SEO, video editing, content writing or even social media marketing.

According to Glassdoor estimates, a full-time social media manager can cost twice that of a Virtual Social Media employee!

• Hourly Wage

Cost is one of the major factors an entrepreneur or recruiter needs to consider before making a hiring decision.

You cannot hire employee of the year if they are simply unaffordable to your company!

With a typical wage of $8.20 dollars an hour, a virtual employee costs way lesser than their counterpart, the employee, at $15 dollars an hour.

And rightly so, they charge lesser because they get the flexibility to work from home as per their convenience and save on additional costs like transportation.

• Salary Structure

A typical employee is paid a yearly 'package' for his or her services, regardless of whether or not there is any work assigned to be done.

When there is absolutely no need for him, he is laid off.

In comparison, a virtual employee is paid by the hour.

As a hiring manager, if you think your particular job/task require only 20 hours a week, outsource it to your virtual employee and pay him or her only for those 20 hours that you need them for.

• Training and Upskilling

A virtual employee, like an employee, needs to undergo constant skill development and training.

The difference lies in the fact that they are responsible to train themselves and they do it at their own time and cost.

What you get is a skilled and upskilled employee, ready to get the job done.

• Office Space

Office space is a major constraint, especially in metropolitan cities, considering the ever-rising real estate prices.

Before hiring an employee you need to analyze whether he or she will actually bring value to your firm or just act as a seat warmer.

A virtual employee works in silo.

By working remotely, they do not occupy any office space avoiding additional costs.

Whether they work from home, a cafe or a beach shack, it doesn't matter as long as they get the work done.

• Duration of Hire

If you need a small task done and want to outsource it to someone, who will do the job for you?

An employee is a long-term commitment and will not be willing to work only 20 odd hours a week.

On the other hand, a virtual employee does exactly that.

They serve multiple clients at a time, each as per their requirement.

One client may require 10 hours a week, another 20 hours.

India is now a rapidly growing economy.

Today’s entrepreneurs and business owners are struggling to maintain a work life balance.

That’s where we, Wishup.co, come in.

Simply outsource your routine tasks to our in house team of virtual employees and they’ll get it done, be it work- realted tasks or personal matters at hand.

You can appoint them as assistant and payment shall be consider as personal expanse.
