1. It can be cheaper to outsource to a Psychologist VA than to hire an employee
In addition, to hire and replace an employee costs £30,614 per employee, according to analysis from Oxford Economics (2). This is due to the cost of Lost Output while a replacement employee gets up to speed and the Logistical Cost of recruiting and absorbing a new employee.
A Virtual Assistant will use their own office and resources, be responsible for their continuing professional development and will organise their own Tax and NI. You do not need to worry about recruitment or agency fees either.

Unlike hiring a full-time employee, you only pay for the support and time you require. This means you can maximise your time and resources. It also enables you to budget for your projects! Virtual Psychology Assistants are paid per productive hour and will work hard to meet your targets and milestones. A Virtual Psychologist Assistant is flexible and will work around your schedule to provide you a service when you need it.
VA's are skilled professionals and they have a broad range of experience. Some Virtual Assistants provide a generalist service and work with a variety of industries whilst others still offer a generalist service but they may also have an added industry and/or service niche.
Industry niche
Virtual Assistants who have a sector niche, means they will understand your industry. A Virtual Assistant providing specialist skills in your industry contributes more value to you than taking on someone without that experience. For example, a Virtual Assistant may previously have worked in Finance and therefore, in their current VA capacity they specialise in supporting those in the Finance sector. In ExecutiveVA's case, we specialise in supporting those in the Psychology and Coaching sector based upon previous career path, skills and experience.
Virtual Assistant's can have a service niche and this means they specialise in a particular service area based on their specific skills, experience and interests. A service niche could be specialising in undertaking audio transcriptions, blog writing, concierge, social media, bookkeeping, for example. In the case of ExecutiveVA, we are a Virtual Psychologist Assistant and specialise in providing services, such as coordinating assessment campaigns, providing support for training materials and processes and assisting with coaching procedures, etc.
The benefits of using a virtual assistant with an industry and/or service specialism means:
- They can hit the ground running with the tasks you outsource
- Since they understand your work they can spot any omissions or errors that need altering
- They offer flexibility to your workload by taking on more specialist tasks and duties
- They understand the industry terminology and jargon
- You do not have to worry about training
- It will save you the effort so you can focus on other priority business areas
Many entrepreneurs and busy executives try to do it all, juggling many business activities that reduce their time for their actual service delivery, which is were they make their money and what makes their business grow. By outsourcing tasks to a Virtual Psychologist Assistant, you will end up with MORE time to dedicate to your core business operations and the activities that you are passionate about. It gives you the time to grow your business and focus your expertise and time delivering to clients/customers. This increases your productivity and profits as you focus on your core areas(you will make MORE money!)plus by not hiring an employee and using a VA for the time you require, it keeps your overheads low (saving you money!).
