Outsourcing and offshoring professional work is becoming an increasingly popular trend among businesses that wish to grow in a severely competitive market. It’s the right decision for you if you have a small business or a start-up. It’s right for you also if you have an established business but wish to reduce your costs or scale your operations to cover wider markets.

The Philippines is a leading destination that provides outsourcing and offshoring services. It has a wide pool of A-Grade talent that is qualified and sometimes has extensive work experience in its domain. The Filipinos are also closely compatible with the Western culture, making them a good fit for your business. They can adapt easily to match the needs of your business in terms of culture as well as skills.

Hiring a virtual assistant from the Philippines is also cost-effective. On average, you would have to pay a local employee close to AUD 30 per hour, plus employee taxes, bonuses, and sometimes even accommodation. You would also spend money on setting up an office space for them and providing them with necessary hardware and supplies. When you hire an assistant from the Philippines, you only pay AUD 15, on average, and that’s all. You do not incur any additional costs.

Besides accessing top-notch talent at a lower cost, you also save huge amounts of time. You would have otherwise spent this time on hiring candidates, managing their day-to-day operations, or even performing some tasks yourself, such as managing social media for your business. By outsourcing these tasks, you free up a major chunk of your time.
