I think that "if you are not confident that you can do this, than it's better to hire people who have expertise in that field”. From last 1-2 decades the % of outsourcing or hiring people has tremendously increased.
Actually as the global economy is in a danger zone and it's not feasible now in most of the countries especially in USA based companies to take actual employees. As there servicing cost is almost double then that of virtual employees. Due to rescission period in various countries the most of the companies now became bankrupt or liquidated. And remaining firms are not in a position to hire actual employees. So, those companies might get shifted to virtual employment.

And i have done same thing. For last few months i was working on the concept of "hiring people" As our organizations have some projects in hand and we don't want to loss them because of lack of skilled employees. And the question is "HOW TO HIRE"? as far as i know there are two basic and trendy ways to hire virtual employees
1. Freelancers/Bidding sites
2. Job sites
We were prepared to post our requisite on freelancers or e lance sites. But we have observed the unacceptable thing. “Dummy projects”. Due to which we people unable to understand that why our bids not get awarded. Ultimately the outcome is wastage of time as well as money in the entire biding process. So, what next?
But i have selected different path.i mean to say that i haven't go through the freelancers or any bidding site.i preferred to search directly a good and reliable virtual service providing companies. The actual reason behind this is “searching and selecting freelancers or bidding site is quite time consuming”. And after placing your requisite over there it will definitely take around 1-2 months to get the required virtual employees. it means that over all process will might take 2-3 months.
And the bottom line is wastage of time as well as money.
So, i moved to marketraise (www.marketraise.com (http://www.marketraise.com)) virtual service providing company. And i am fully satisfied with there services. so i will suggest you all to carefully hire the people for virtual services along with keeping in mind the most important factors “time and money”.
Disadvantage- Lack of reliability, time and money consumer
