Whats the difference between VAs and temps?
There are several fundamental differences between VAs and temps. First, VAs are independent contractors (self-employed), while temps are the employees of the staffing agencies who place them. More importantly, VAs are often the long-term growth partners of the businesses and independent professionals who hire them, with a direct stake in their clients success. (VA workflow generally increases as client operations expand.) Finally, temps are usually engaged on a brief or transitional basis, while VAs typically work with their clients over the long haul.
