I’m often asked this by people who’ve never done it before. I mean, it’s a good question, right? In this article, I want to explain to you first-hand the answers to these two questions. First, I’ll explain why you should hire Filipino virtual assistants specifically, and second, I'll explain a bit more about the reasoning behind it.
There’s always a method to my madness, as the saying goes!
Okay, so right off the bat, why should you, as a business owner in America, Australia, Canada, or anywhere else, even think about hiring someone thousands of miles away?
Well, first off, you’ll save a lot of money. I’m British, so talking about money is meant to be crass, but what the heck, let’s get straight down to the facts, shall we?
Saving a lot of money, getting a lot of stuff done, and doing it without reducing quality are the exact reasons why you should seriously consider hiring a full-time VA in the Philippines.
In fact, consider hiring all different Virtual Staff. We see people every day using our platform to hire everything from accountants to customer support, social media specialists, and recently even virtual receptionists and fast food order takers working from Zoom cameras, etc.
The world we live in is insane, and I love it!
Anyway, back to what I was talking about: You’ll be able to hire a virtual assistant for anywhere from $480 to $1920 per month in the Philippines. It’s not uncommon to hire a VA for $500-$1,000/month full-time (160 hours); we see it done every day on this platform.
By the way, the great thing about VirtualStaff.ph is that you choose the rates, pick the staff, and stay in control.
Anyway, back to what I was talking about.
Aside from the cost savings, did you know English is the joint official language of the Philippines?
Most people don’t know this, and why would they? I mean, unless they’re students of history, it probably seems peculiar that English would be the joint official language.
I’m not going to bore you with a history lesson. I mean, I could; I enjoy history, but that’s for another day. In a nutshell, The Philippines was a colony or territory of the USA until 1946, when it gained full independence. During this period, English was made the de facto legal language and the language of law.
What does this mean for you?
It means you will be hiring a VA who speaks excellent English. Check out this article to learn why VAs in the Philippines speak English.
So, let’s summarize three reasons why you should hire a Filipino Virtual Assistant.
- English proficiency.
- You’ll be amazed that you’ll often hire people as good and sometimes better than the local talent you have in your home country.
- You’re going to save a lot of money.
So there you have it—three compelling reasons why the Philippines should be the place where you hire your VA.
