Making decisions in running your business is not a simple thing to do. You need to look at different angles, propositions, its pros and cons, etc. in order to come up with the best decision.
If you’re in the tough spot between managing your own Virtual Workforce or choosing to outsource, we can help you decide which works best for your business.
Model A: Managing your own virtual workforce
One of the functions of connecting with an outsourcing company is having the freedom to manage your own VA team.
How?
In Greymouse we call it ‘Virtual Office’. We can solely act as your recruiter. We recruit VAs in whatever field you need them to work in.
For instance, you need a group of web developers; basically, we will act as your HR. We find the resources, we do the first selection criteria and we give the CV’s for you to review. You will be the one to choose the right candidates that will work in your team. Once you hired those talents, you now have a group of Virtual Team that you can monitor and train so they can meet the needs of your business.
As your recruiter, we make sure that your team will embrace your culture; they will live and breathe the way that you work in your own country. Your team will always be a part of a bigger organisation. They are part of every celebration – birthdays, Christmas parties, team bonding, and summer outings.
We are there to support them in the day to day life challenges but; the delivery of the work, the management of what they do on a daily basis is basically your responsibility.
We as your HR branch will take care of the human component of your virtual resources.
Model B: Outsourcing
With outsourcing, you can get your task done by a dependable outsourcing provider.
For example, when you choose Greymouse as your provider, we will be responsible for putting the right talents with your project; we will delegate your tasks and provide solutions for your business.
But more than that, as an outsourcing provider, we will also need to understand your systems in the business – how you operate, your business goals, your services, and your standards. We really need to understand and define what the team needs to deliver and then basically all the responsibilities is on us to make sure that we deliver the services that you need for your business.
What might work for you?
Ideally, if you need 10-20 people for your business, then managing a VA team will work out for you. But if you want to get things done by a dependable provider with the same quality as you want, then outsourcing is there for you.
In terms of price cost, outsourcing caters a lower expense: you will purchase hours to get your tasks done, while on recruiting for a VA team you will be paying for their monthly fee and will work for you full-time in your business.
Two different models but each of them works efficiently in both ways. In the end, it all comes down to aligning your business goals to what is more convenient between these two models.
Would you want to outsource to a provider that can meet your needs or manage your own VA team to fully monitor your sales and have remote talents to operate your business? It’s up to you.
