How Much Could You Save with Remote Staffing?

12.01.2026

Hiring help is essential when your business starts to grow — but finding the right balance between cost and quality isn’t always easy.
For many construction and home service companies, local hiring comes with a high price tag: salaries, taxes, benefits, and turnover.
That’s why more owners are turning to remote staffing as a smarter, more cost-effective way to scale.
But how much could you actually save? Let’s break it down.

How Much Could You Save with Remote Staffing?

The Real Cost of Local Hiring

When you hire locally, your costs go far beyond the hourly rate.
Between salary, insurance, taxes, and benefits, a single full-time admin or dispatcher can easily cost over $50,000 per year — sometimes more, depending on location.

And that’s before you factor in recruiting time, training, and turnover.

Local hiring makes sense for on-site roles. But for administrative and back-office support, there’s a better way.


The Hard Hat Helpers Advantage

With Hard Hat Helpers, you can hire trained, reliable virtual staff at transparent, all-inclusive rates — no hidden fees or surprise add-ons.

Rates start at:

  • Admin & Dispatcher: $12/hr
  • Bookkeeper or Project Manager: $13.50/hr
  • CPA or Controller-Level Support: $18/hr

These rates include full onboarding, training, and ongoing management — so you don’t have to handle payroll, HR, or benefits.

It’s predictable, professional, and performance-based.


Real Savings from Real Businesses

Our clients regularly save 60–70% compared to hiring locally, while gaining access to experienced staff who integrate seamlessly into their systems.

  • A construction company from Colorado saved $45,000 annually by hiring a remote project admin.
  • A plumbing business in California saved over $35,000 and reduced tech downtime by 15%.
  • A handyman franchise from Texas saved more than $120,000 a year by replacing five local hires with a remote team.

That’s not just savings — that’s reinvestment capital you can put back into equipment, marketing, or new hires on the field.


Savings That Grow With You

Remote staffing doesn’t just reduce costs — it helps you scale more sustainably.
You can add new roles when you need them, without the risk or commitment of traditional hiring.

Whether you’re adding one virtual assistant or building a full back-office team, you’ll always know what you’re paying for — and exactly what you’re getting.
