COVID-19 is causing a lot of flux in the workforce.
Some companies have sent workers home with little to no pay, other companies, like Concentrix, are in URGENT NEED of people to work from home to manage their virus-related increased traffic.
I don’t know about you, but that sounds like the perfect opportunity to “make lemonade” during this trying time…
I’m just off the phone with Concentrix and they informed me they are in URGENT NEED of THOUSANDS of WORK FROM HOME CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS. Here’s a quick overview:
At-A-Glance
| Positions Available: | Seasonal* Customer Service Reps |
| Number of Openings: | “Thousands” |
| Time to Hire: | Under a week from the time you apply (though they are shooting for a 24-hour turn-around whenever possible) |
| Hiring in: | Unites States. All US states EXCEPT: AK, CA, CT, D.C., HI, IL, MA, ME, MD, MT, NE, NJ, NY, OR, RI, and WA** |
| Employee or Contractor: | Employee |
| Full-Time or Part-Time | Both Full- and Part-Time available |
| Starting Pay: | $10-$13/hr depending on the account to which you are assigned |
| Experience: | The required Customer Service experience does not have to be phone-based. If you have serviced customers in a store, restaurant, or other retail environment, that experience counts! Don’t ever underestimate the value of your skills and experience. 🙂 |
*I was informed that, while these roles are seasonal, employees who perform well may be offered the opportunity to stay on! This could be the career change you have been looking for.
**Not hiring in your state? Kindness is also contagious — be a great friend and share with those who could benefit from this information!
Here’s what the company has to say about this opportunity:
“In the wake of coronavirus (COVID-19) our priority continues to be the health and well being of our staff and Businesses and for that we need you.
You might be asking yourself: Who is Concentrix?
Concentrix, is a technology-enabled global business services company specializing in customer engagement and improving business performance for some of the world’s best brands. Every day, from more than 40 countries and across 6 continents, our staff delivers next generation customer experience and helps companies better connect with their customers.

Exactly what do we do? Instead of working in a traditional call center environment, our Concentrix Anywhere program hires sales & service agents who work from home.

These calls might involve billing questions, changes or cancellation of services, inquiries on the status of an order, troubleshooting services etc.
In order to provide that customer support and services to our brands, we need YOU!
