WHERE SHOULD I HIRE VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS?
More and more businesses are opting for business process outsourcing over in house staffing. But like any type of corporate endeavor, the former still carries a few risks—false advertising, fake profiles, bogus businesses and so on.
The best way to avoid being the victim is to find the right VA or staff provider who can
deliver quality services that match your budget.
Is India still the go to spot for hiring? Or should you look for better options? Let’s compare data and find out who bags the top spot as the “Virtual Assistant Capital”; is it India, China or the Philippines?
INDIA
Aside from the low operational costs in the country, its known for having the best technical staff for programming and software development.
Its no secret that the biggest issue that business owners face when hiring Indian staff is verbal skills. Outsourcing itself challenges the normal means for communication and poor verbal skills will only magnify the problem threefold.
CHINA
The country’s large population, favorable economic status and advanced infrastructures continue to attract business owners from the United States and Europe.
Similar to India, verbal skills isn’t a strong point for the Chinese. Their culture is also very different from western culture; this might serve as a potential threat for future business developments.
PHILIPPINES
The country has been acclaimed as Asia’s largest English-speaking country beating even India, Brunei and Singapore. Being colonized by Americans in the late 1800’s, Filipinos have also developed a deeper understanding American culture.
The political climate in the Philippines has been unstable due to cases of corruption from several government officials. Apart from this, not all cities have the infrastructures needed to set up large scale outsourcing.
That’s a short rundown on the pros and cons of hiring from China, India and the Philippines. So, where are you planning to hire your next virtual assistant?
