Benefits of Using Virtual Assistant Services

Employing virtual assistant services has numerous benefits, particularly for businesses in London. These include:

• Cost-effectiveness: Hiring a VA often costs less than employing a full-time staff member, saving you money on salaries and benefits.
• Flexibility: You can scale your team up or down as needed, hiring virtual assistants for specific projects or ongoing tasks.
• Access to a Global Talent Pool: Virtual assistants can work from anywhere, meaning you can choose from a wider range of skill sets and expertise.

VAs are adept at managing various tasks, including administrative support, scheduling, email management, and social media management. By outsourcing these tasks, businesses can focus on growth and strategic initiatives.

Two Relevant Case Studies

Case Study 1: Scaling Administrative Support for a London FinTech Startup

• Client: A fast-growing FinTech startup in Central London.
• Challenge: The client's core team was overwhelmed with administrative tasks, diverting focus from product development. They needed immediate, flexible support without the commitment of a permanent placement, as their workload fluctuated. Their main concern was a lengthy hiring process for a role that required high levels of discretion and tech-savviness.
• Our Staffing Solution: We provided a flexible staffing solution by deploying two highly skilled professionals as remote Virtual Assistants within 72 hours. Our talent acquisition team sourced from our pool of vetted talent, specifically selecting candidates with prior experience in the tech sector. We managed the entire administrative onboarding, ensuring the VAs were ready to integrate seamlessly.
• Results: The client reported a 40% reduction in administrative workload for their senior developers, leading to accelerated project timelines. Their time-to-hire was reduced from an estimated 3 weeks to under 3 days, and our excellent fill rate ensured they were never without support during a critical growth phase.

Case Study 2: Streamlining Workforce Management for a UK-Wide Consultancy Firm

• Client: A national management consultancy with a head office in London.
• Challenge: The firm's hiring managers across different departments were struggling to find qualified candidates for both short-term projects and long-term administrative roles. This inconsistent approach to building their contingent workforce led to high costs and inefficiencies in their workforce management.
• Our Staffing Solution: We proposed a blended model of temporary staffing and Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO). For urgent needs, we supplied Virtual Assistants on a temporary basis. For their ongoing needs, we took over the hiring process for all administrative permanent placement roles, leveraging our industry-specific expertise in the professional services job market.
• Results: The client achieved a 25% reduction in overall recruitment costs within the first six months. By partnering with our recruitment agency, they standardised their hiring and onboarding processes, ensuring a consistent quality of vetted talent across the organisation.
