WHO THIS ROLE FITS
US businesses with live website or in-app support
Live visitors need help beyond your chatbot, and unresolved conversations lack consistent ownership.
What stays with your team
Your team approves promises, compensation and sensitive account changes. Coverage is limited to the agreed working hours.
THE WORK TO DELEGATE
What you can delegate.
- Handle chats within the agreed concurrency
- Clarify questions before giving answers
- Use approved knowledge-base guidance
- Escalate complex cases with context
- Record outcomes in the helpdesk
Match your tools and workflow
Specify chat platform, helpdesk, knowledge base and account lookup permissions.
What to include in your brief
Share arrival patterns, expected concurrency, live shift and escalation availability.
Include your monthly budget, required US-hours overlap and the person who will review the work.
Scope this role ↗AGREE WHAT GOOD WORK LOOKS LIKE
What you should be able to review.
Use these examples to agree deliverables and review standards for your workflow.
- Chat transcripts meeting quality criteria
- Escalation handoff with attempted steps
- Unanswered-question log for knowledge-base updates
Where a person adds value alongside automation
A chatbot can answer repeat questions. Human coverage is valuable for ambiguous requests and conversations needing judgment or coordinated follow-up.
Start with the work your tools leave unresolved. The remaining workload should justify a dedicated full-time hire.

Suggested assessment: Simulate two overlapping chats, including a question outside policy. Assess pace without sacrificing accuracy.
Make the interview useful
Discuss a representative task, ask how the candidate handles uncertainty, and agree what good output looks like. Use sanitized examples rather than live credentials or sensitive customer data.

Start with a manageable scope.
Suggested priorities to agree with your hire, adapted to your systems and expectations.
Start with a bounded assignment: Chat transcripts meeting quality criteria. Review it together before expanding responsibility.
Set a recurring review for escalation handoff with attempted steps. Keep an escalation list for items the hire cannot resolve.
A paid trial, with clear terms
The current offer is a paid one-week trial, credited toward your first month if you continue. Confirm the trial price, scope and continuation terms before starting.
Agree the complete quote
Confirm the role, working hours, extras, payment schedule, notice requirements and replacement arrangements in writing before you commit. A published range is a budget guide, not your final quote.
BEFORE YOU DECIDE
Before you decide.
Clarify the working arrangement before you commit. If your scope spans several roles, we can help you decide where to start.
Talk through my requirements ↗How many chats can one agent handle?
There is no reliable universal number. Use your conversation complexity, response expectations and sample traffic to agree a manageable workload and review quality.
How soon can someone start?
Timing depends on skills, seniority, working hours and candidate availability. We confirm the expected shortlist timeline after reviewing your brief.
Who supports the employment and office setup?
Your Remote Staff is operated by Salt Technologies. Staff work from the managed Pune office, with recruitment, standard hardware, IT, HR, payroll, attendance and replacement support. You direct daily work.
