Job description

Description - Onsite in Boston

Customer Service Reps are taking high volume calls from incoming patients of DRs for their clinics which are Hospitals and Smaller Health Clinics. Their job is to determine who's on call at a client, pull up contact info in database and triage the call to the appropriate contact. KPI's: 85% of calls within 30 seconds.

Since we are a 24/7 call center, we do not have set shifts. Instead, we have a window that allows us some flexibility when scheduling. For example, someone that is hired for a first shift must be available to work as early as 7am and as late as 6pm. They will not work 7am-6pm, but they will work between these hours. Schedules are made typically 3-4 weeks in advance, so they always know what they are working. All shifts require working every Saturday or a Sunday. This is a requirement. We will send which weekday we are looking for and the shift when we reach out to you for assistance with recruiting.

We do have a need for a temp to hire 1st shift ( hours are between 7am-6pm must be able to work as early as 7am and as late as 6pm, will not work 7-6). This shift requires working every Sunday. They will have Saturday and another day off during the week, may not be consecutive days off. We are looking for a true professional, someone who is reliable a fast learner and is self-sufficient. A good phone presence and good communication skills are a must. Also must have proven tenure within their roles. We are not interested in reviewing candidates who do not stay at their previous roles. They also must be able to type at least 40WPM. Familiar with medical terminology is a plus and some call center experience is a must. We handle sensitive calls from patients and medical staff, so we are looking for a stronger individual for this role. We do need a higher caliber candidate. We are 24/7 which means we never close. This position does require working holidays and during inclement weather and is deemed essential.

Training is typically 10:30 -6:30 /7pm for all shifts!
