How to hire a remote or freelance workforce for customer support and telesales?

Many businesses, as well as employees, want to stick to the work-from-home model. Employees save time, energy, and expenses spent on commuting to the office. They also get more time to spend with their family members. 

Similarly, businesses, too, have experienced substantial benefits of the work-from-home model. It reduces business costs and employee costs and also increases employee retention.

Building on this idea, businesses can hire entire teams of remote or freelance employees, especially for their customer support and telesales team. This practice will enable enterprises to leverage additional benefits, like 

• Accessing a broader talent pool
• Hiring high-quality employees from all over the world
• Improving their financial growth and reputation
• Enhancing productivity and scalability while reducing high costs
• An AI-powered platform for maximum efficiency

So, how do you start remote recruitment for your customer support and telesales team?

Remote hiring the right way

While remote hiring may look easy, it is, in fact, more complicated than traditional hiring, as it involves many complexities. For example, your hiring managers don’t meet the candidate personally to assess their soft and hard skills while hiring remotely. 

Additionally, you receive numerous applications compared to traditional hiring, and there is no guarantee that the employee is even genuine. Thus, if not done correctly, the process can become problematic and do more harm than good.

But don’t worry. VOIZ has got you covered for all your remote customer support and telesales recruitment needs.
