Overview
Our recruitment team is currently sourcing detail-oriented individuals for a remote Chat Support position. This is an excellent entry-level opportunity for those eager to start working from home, especially if you're looking for a role that doesn't require a degree or past customer service experience.
In this position, you’ll handle live chats with users of various online platforms—providing fast, friendly support using tools and templates. The role is 100% remote, pays up to $35 per hour, and offers full schedule flexibility. If you have a knack for writing clearly and the ability to multitask, you could be a great fit—even if this is your first online job.
Your Core Responsibilities
Text-Based Customer Communication
You’ll manage real-time chat requests, helping customers navigate products or services. These could range from clarifying subscription options to walking users through simple account steps—all handled via a chat window in your browser.
Utilizing Scripted Replies
All responses are provided to you through a searchable template system. You'll learn how to match the right answer to the question being asked and personalize it slightly when necessary. The goal is clarity and speed, not creative writing.
Identifying and Forwarding Issues
When a user needs help outside of your access—such as a billing error or login lockout—you’ll escalate the case. Escalation tools are built into the chat dashboard, and training will walk you through every scenario.
Tagging and Logging Chats
Each conversation must be documented accurately. You’ll tag the topic (for example, “technical issue” or “new user onboarding”) and note whether follow-up is needed. This makes future service smoother for returning customers.
A Look at a Typical Shift
Once logged in, you’ll start receiving chat requests from users in real time. Most shifts involve managing 2–3 simultaneous chats, though the system limits traffic so you’re not overwhelmed. A support lead is always online to help if a user gets frustrated or you need assistance mid-chat.
There are no phone calls, video meetings, or scheduled check-ins—just quiet, focused, self-paced work. Your dashboard includes performance trackers and a live help tab for anything you need.
