What does vWorker stand for?
The v in our name stands for "virtual", which means: "Made accessible from afar by technology". A vWorker is a person who works for you remotely, rather than in-person in an office.

Why are vWorkers more capable, accountable and affordable than traditional workers?- "More capable":
Virtual workers compete for your business in a global marketplace with hundreds of thousands of competitors. They must be better, faster and more efficient than the competition to survive. Can a traditional consultant who gets your business simply because they operate in the same zip code, claim the same thing?
- "More accountable":
According to Gallup Research, 54% of traditional U.S. workers "sleepwalk through their day" and and additional 18% actively sabotage other workers. In today's competitive environment, that's simply unnaceptable.
On vWorker.com, your virtual workers actually give you back their salary when they miss a deadline, do a less than perfect job, or sneak in a few hours of Minesweeper during work hours. Through our money-back guarantees, virtual workers forgo payment unless they fulfill your work contract 100% (when you choose pay-for-deliverables) or prove every minute of their billable time (when you choose pay-for-time). If they don't deliver they don't get paid.
- "More affordable":
Virtual workers on vWorker.com, are 36%-80% cheaper than traditional workers because of:
- Increased productivity:
When Best Buy, British Telecom and Dow Chemical converted traditional workers to virtual worker arragements, the increased freedom and flexibility made them 36-41% more productive.
- Competitive pricing:
Traditional contractors in your local area have a monopoly and charge bloated rates because their customers have no alternative. On vWorker, hundreds of thousands of workers compete in a global marketplace to win your business. This keeps pricing fair and removes the temptation for workers to over-charge.
- No suppport costs and no taxes:
Unlike traditional workers, virtual workers:- Don't require leasing of office space and payment of utilities (electricity and water).
- Provide their own equipment (phone, fax, computer, etc.) and office supplies and don't require you to do so.
- Pay their own taxes and don't require you to pay employer subsidies for Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security in the United States (or the equivalent taxes oveseas).
- No severance costs:
Virtual workers give you the flexibility to ramp up and down as your business requires. Unlike traditional workers, they require:
- No severance pay. If you have nothing more for them, they find work elsewhere.
- No two weeks notice. Again, when the project is done, your costs end. When you have another project, you can hire them again.
- No litigation concerns about releasing an employee for poor performance. If they've done a poor job, you get your money back, part ways and you can immediately move on.
- (Sometimes) Substantially lower cost of living:
Many virtual workers live in countries with much lower costs of living. As a result, these workers can do very well for themselves while only charging you 40-80% the price of a domestic worker. Note: before hiring an overseas worker, we recommend that you read and understand the pros and the cons.
Our logo:
The V is a dual-meaning symbol and symbolizes both the virtual worker and the unique way he/she does work.- The virtual worker has his/her arms extended, and enjoys the freedom and flexibility to work whenever, wherever and as much as they choose.
- The shape is also a checkmark, and symbolizes how every virtual worker chooses to forgo payment until you "check off" on their work. vWorker.com backs up this commitment with it's money-back guarantees.
