Offshore Customer Service Teams
Built for Your Business
We place English-fluent, university-educated Customer Service Representatives from Africa into companies across the US, UK, Canada, and Australia - at 50 - 70% less than local hiring costs.
Hiring Customer Service Reps Locally is getting harder.
Salaries are rising. Time-to-hire is stretching to 6–8 weeks. Turnover in CS roles runs at 30–45% annually. And when you finally find someone good, onboarding takes another month.
Meanwhile, your support queues are growing and your team is stretched.
There is a better way.
