We just received an email from Smith.ai saying they have a growing need for Chat Agents.
Note: They are also hiring Virtual Receptionists (phone-based) and encourage people to apply for both if they are interested (separate applications).
By the way, the Smith.ai recruiter who contacted us was a RRRebel just like you! She found her job right here and has moved up through the ranks with the company!
Their starting pay is a bit low – “entry-level rate is $10 per hour ($11 per hour for bilingual agents) and we pay weekly.” However, benefits and “periodic raises based on performance” are also offered.
They also offer benefits!
Here’s what the company has posted on their site:
