NexRep is making it easy to find remote work
Staffing agencies are often a great starting point for job seekers. These companies typically connect workers with employers looking to bulk up their crews, and they can easily transition workers to new employers once contracts expire.
But with in-person jobs at an all-time low, remote staffing agencies like NexRep are leading the pack in bringing remote workers and employers together. According to CNBC, NexRep has helped companies like Teledoc expand their workforce by 40% since the start of the pandemic.
What kind of jobs is NexRep helping people find? Call center jobs, that’s what. But unlike traditional call centers, which typically reside in unremarkable office buildings, NexRep allows workers to use their own office or living room as their base of operations. It’s an easy way for workers to get back on their feet without ever leaving home.
Remote call center work offers a good balance of safety and pay, with most workers making well above the federal minimum wage. Starting pay is usually in the range of $10 hourly, with most workers averaging between $12-$14 hourly. This is similar to the pay most essential workers are getting these days, but with none of the risk of infection.
It also offers parents with children an opportunity to keep a closer eye on their family while schools remain closed.
