I worked with CS Outsource and JB to find the right candidate for our short-term rental management company, and the experience was excellent. Within about a week, they presented us with several qualified applicants and coordinated two rounds of interviews, giving us plenty of strong candidates to consider.

Most customer service assistants cost $6-9/hr, depending on experience and hours needed. You only pay once you've hired. There is no upfront placement fee.

How fast can I get started?

Typical placement is 24-48 hours from your consultation. You interview and approve every candidate. Your assistant is then trained on your processes, tone, and tools before taking a single ticket.

Who is this for?

Business owners who handle customer calls, emails, live chat, tickets, or order questions and want a trained assistant who already knows their business, without the cost and risk of another full-time US hire.

Where are CS Outsource customer service assistants located?

Our customer service assistants are sourced from CS Outsource's global talent network, including South America, South Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region, so you can match coverage to your customers' time zones.

What tools and software can they use?

Your customer service assistant works directly inside the phone system, helpdesk, CRM, or live chat tools you already use, so there is no need to switch platforms.

What if a candidate isn't the right fit?

You interview and approve every candidate before they start, so fit is confirmed upfront. If you don't hire, you don't pay. No hire, no fee.

How long do CS Outsource assistants typically stay?

Our average virtual assistant tenure is 3+ years, so you get long-term continuity instead of constant retraining.
