Why use a VOA instead of a Temporary Agency?

VOA’s offer a broader skill set to assist you in more areas of your business. You pick the business services you need when you need them. Also, if you only need help occasionally, you will probably get a different person every time you call the temporary agency, and have to train that new person every time. With a VOA, you’re getting the same person every time you need help so you're not wasting time with retraining on similar projects. That also means that if you have something that needs to be done on a regular schedule, I'll keep track of it and either do it, or contact you for the info I need to do it for you.

Temporary Agencies can be a very expensive solution to part time help. You’re not only paying for the employee’s time, but the agency’s overhead and any fringe benefits they offer their employees as well. A VOA is an independent contractor, responsible for their own expenses. You also don’t have to come up with the space and equipment you would need for a temp, as we work from our own fully equipped offices.

A VOA thinks like a business owner, not an employee. If your business doesn’t succeed, neither does mine!

Temporary Agencies apply their rules to your business. They won’t send their employees to a home-based business. They want set days and times you need their employee in your office. What if you don’t know exactly when and for how long you’ll need them? Have a project you need done, but have no idea how long it will take to do it? Just send it off to your VOA, and you will be billed only for the actual work time it takes. We clock in and out for the time we’re actually working on your project, so you’re not paying for any breaks or other interruptions that might come up, just exact work time. Why pay a temp to come in to your office and work for a 40 hour week when you may only have about 15 actual hours of work for them to do?

I understand that every business is unique with unique needs and ways of doing business. The VOA profession is based upon flexibility to meet your specific business needs.
