As business becomes more globally connected, new services have allowed entrepreneurs to find quality employees overseas for far less the cost they’d find domestically. Chris Ducker was a native Brit living in the Philippines when he noticed the surging demand for contractors, specifically virtual assistants, to help entrepreneurs with their daily tasks. The problem was, anyone in search of a virtual assistant would not know where to begin but also who to trust. Chris launched Virtual Staff Finder, a premium virtual assistant locator that helps entrepreneurs focus on more important responsibilities and even work less in some cases. Chris is living proof of the effectiveness of having a virtual assistant from previously working 16 hour days to working a few days a week at no more than 4-5 hours per day.
