FROM THE PEOPLE WHO DO THE WORK
Real Outsourcerers, real careers
"Transitioning into the remote virtual space had been an interesting journey back in 2021. After much research to locate a compatible company, I discovered Outsourcery! From my first enquiry, I received wholehearted enthusiasm, courtesy, and professionalism. Since then, I've enjoyed a dynamic and rewarding experience working with interesting clients. If you're looking to transition from your traditional role in the workforce, or you're already in the virtual space, I highly recommend Outsourcery."
"The level of freedom, flexibility, and support offered by Outsourcery is unmatched. Being able to work remotely, and tackle tasks in a way that fits my schedule, is an absolute game changer. Not to mention the awesome people I get to work with, which adds a great sense of community."
"As a designer, creativity is my strong point and not the day-to-day admin of running a business. The Outsourcery model really works for me in this regard, as we have the staff to deal with that aspect of the job, while we as creatives can focus on just that, being creative. It's a real draw for someone like me who is just not admin-orientated."
"Outsourcery has provided me with the opportunity to grow my skills in an extremely flexible working environment. Ever since I started with Outsourcery, I've learned multiple skills and with each individual client that joins my roster, I've learned even more. Outsourcery has a very light-hearted culture where you are encouraged to ask questions and come forth with suggestions."
"When I first heard about Outsourcery I had been trying to do some freelance virtual work but was having no success. I joined the team and quickly saw how beneficial and different the company is. Five years in and I still feel the same way. I truly find such joy in working with the team, and clients. I look forward to seeing how Outsourcery continues to take new turns, more interesting clients and aim to be the best in the field."
"I wanted to make a career move and stumbled on becoming a virtual assistant. It looked very appealing to me. I identified Outsourcery as the best VA company in South Africa. I love working for Outsourcery. It gives me the opportunity to work from home and work with different clients in different industries. As I go along I am also learning skills which is a privilege."
