The Client & What You’ll Be Doing
Our client is a remote-first customer support platform that powers customer service for consumer brands in the subscription, tech, and health & wellness industries. These companies depend on friendly, fast messaging to support customer retention. Your responsibilities will include responding to live chat messages and support emails, providing resolutions for common service issues such as billing questions, shipping delays, or login problems. You’ll use brand voice guidelines, support documentation, and internal tools to manage everything through your browser—without ever needing to speak with a customer.

- Monitor live chat queues and email dashboards throughout the shift to maintain excellent response times.
- Apply judgment in prioritizing urgent customer issues and tag conversations accurately to ensure fast internal follow-up when needed.
- Use macros as a starting point but personalize each message to make the customer feel heard and supported.
- Attend weekly asynchronous team updates through written messages—no meetings, no video calls.
- Identify recurring patterns in questions or complaints and flag documentation issues or template needs to your team lead.
- Maintain clear written summaries in your shift handoff notes so the next support agent can pick up where you left off.
- Participate in weekly coaching via message-based feedback that helps you improve clarity, formatting, and tone.

Tips for Performing at a High Level
Clear, Fast Writing Wins
Speed matters, but clarity comes first. Proofread each message. Avoid overused phrases. Speak to customers like they matter.
Get Familiar With the Docs
Your knowledge base is your most powerful tool. Learn to search effectively so you can find answers in seconds—not minutes.
Tone Is Everything
Whether the customer is thrilled or upset, your tone should stay calm, constructive, and respectful. The words you choose matter just as much as the information you provide.
Multitask, Don’t Overwhelm
You’ll juggle several chats at once. Use chat timers, visual cues, and notes to stay on top of it. Organization keeps mistakes to a minimum.
Take Feedback Seriously
Every written review is a shortcut to improving. Apply changes quickly and track your own patterns—most high performers do.

Send in your resume or basic work availability. You’ll be prompted to describe your home setup and select preferred shift windows.

You’ll complete a short timed writing task and a live chat simulation, evaluating clarity, grammar, and your ability to manage tone under pressure.
Step 3: Interview Simulation
Selected applicants will be invited to handle a simulated shift with support questions based on real-world customer requests. All feedback will be delivered in writing.
Step 4: Paid Remote Training

Step 5: Coaching-Backed Trial Shifts
The first 10 shifts will be part of a monitored performance period. You’ll receive written feedback after every session, and performance is tracked using a scorecard that includes tone, speed, grammar, and resolution accuracy.
Step 6: Permanent Role Assignment
Once you pass your trial shifts, you’ll receive your long-term shift schedule, gain bonus eligibility, and access performance-based promotion paths.
