FREELANCERS VS REMOTE ASSISTANTS

Updated: Jan 22


Brand Loyalty


A freelancer usually manages multiple contracts at one time. Their loyalty to one particular client or brand is comparatively lower than someone who is working full-time with the company. At SOS, we invest time and resources to train an individual to be dedicated to one busiess at a time, almost like a full-time employee. By committing one individual to one business, we guarantee reliability and fulfillment of the assigned tasks timely and accurately.


LONG-TERM COMMITMENT


Freelancers are known to have short-term commitment goals since they run multiple projects at one time and want to increase their network. At SOS we train and prepare an individual to be committed to one particular business for a long term which makes it more likely for them to embrace challenges and seek out learning opportunities resulting in continuous growth and fulfilment of organizational goals.


SECURITY


Freelancers are usually not registered with a specific entity which makes it impossible to hold them accountable in a scenario of misuse of company systems, data, or sensitive information. Since SOS is a registered entity, we conduct proper screening and background checks before hiring. We ensure that our remote assistants follow safety protocols and adhere to legal and regulatory requirements. This plays a critical role in reducing the risk of data breaches and legal issues.


UNPREDICTABILITY


Freelancers ususally work part-time and may not be as familiar with your company's culture or standards which could only be figured out by working full-time. So they may be missing out on crucial details which could result in inconsistent quality of work. Remote Assistants work fixed and full-time business hours which leaves very little margin for unpredictability and error.


SUPERVISION


Freelancers don’t have fixed working hours which makes it impossible to supervise them at all times this can often affect the quality of work leading to errors, inaccuracies, and missed deadlines. Our Virtual Assistats go through a process of performance reviews, feedback, and guidance that helps them excel in their performance and keep them motivated.


TRAINING & ENABLEMENT


Freelancers normally have a generic set of skills and almost zero product-specified training resulting in a waste of time and resources. We train all remote hires specific to a business model and process which is predefined; Not only this, we keep our training resources available, even after onboarding.
