The Dedicated Virtual Employee Model Of Outsourcing

There are different models of outsourcing that are available, each catering to a specific segment, and each commanding a different following. Freelancers are suitable for very low-cost, non-collaborative and short-term projects. Project outsourcing has traditionally been practiced by the big multinationals and large corporations who also have the option to set up independent offshore subsidiaries of their offices. Then there is the third model, known as the dedicated virtual employee model, that opens up the doors to a whole new outsourcing experience.
The dedicated remote or virtual model of outsourcing allows a client to pay only for those resources that they are using. So, it is definitely the most cost-effective way to outsource.

How does this work?

1. Say a software company – an SME - has hired just one website developer from VirtualEmployee.com. What does this mean? It is one employee, one workstation, one set of hardware and software for which the client is paying. Compare this to project outsourcing, where the client is clueless about who is actually doing their work. It could be one employee but the whole team handles the outsourced project. The client can never interact directly with the actual worker but only with the Project Manager or the Team Leader. So, when the project outsourcing company charges the client, it doesn't just charge for the intellectual inputs that went in executing the project. It also charges for the services of the entire team, including infrastructure and other overheads such as Internet usage and any special software utilized. So, in effect, you are paying for more than you actually utilized.

2. With VirtualEmployee.com, the whole process is completely transparent from start to end. A client pays for what they need. If they have hired one employee, then they pay for the cost of just one employee and not for an entire team. VirtualEmployee.com's prides itself on customizing its outsourcing solutions to fit the exact requirements of each and every of its worldwide clients and giving them what they want.

3. With project outsourcing, even if you require just 8 manhours of work and if those 8 hours have been given by one employee, you are nevertheless likely to be charged the same rates as though the entire team had worked for you. It is a known fact that several project outsourcing companies try to recover their losses from their clients and very often the breakdown of the bill may cleverly camouflage expenses that were never incurred in the first place.

4. With VirtualEmployee.com, even if a client may not be technically sound about the more complex aspects of the project – a frequent occurrence in SEO and SMO that involves link-building and other internet marketing activities – the client is never charged anything other than what they have agreed to pay for. Since only extremely talented and skilled professionals are hired who know their job thoroughly, the question of a client being taken for a ride doesn't arise.

On the flip side, with VirtualEmployee.com, a client actually stands to gain much more than what they had bargained for. Namely, a dedicated, full-time skilled employee who works exclusively for them and at a salary that was extremely attractive.
