The past years have seen countless American, European, and Australian companies outsourcing staff across various roles, one of the most popular being a VA from the Philippines.
Business Process Outsourcing is now considered as one of the leading businesses in many developing countries such as the Philippines, India, China, Russia, and South America. But what makes a VA from the Philippines so popular? There are many reasons but at the core, the Philippines is an ideal match for this type of professional as it’s a workforce composed mostly of young, educated, and English-speaking people.
Actually, no matter what the role, according to the list of outsourcing trends by Datamark in their Ask the Experts, Outsourcing News dated December 10, 2015, the Philippines has actually risen to the 2nd spot, dominating Mumbai, when it comes to the top 10 outsourcing destinations in the world.
Imagine getting the services of a highly-dependable VA from the Philippines at a fraction of the cost of other professional hires, or freelancers for that matter. This allows small and medium-scale businesses to enjoy the benefits of having a virtual staff or even a whole team of outsourced assistants.
Offshore staffing enables companies to reduce overheads without compromising quality. At Remote Staff we are on the ground in the Philippines and have a very good understanding of true local wages, you can rest assured that you’re getting a VA from the Philippines at a fairly reasonable rate without the freelancer mindset.
