Two ways to hire. Transparent pricing.

Every customer service role prices the same way. Both models carry the same bar: vetted candidates in 10 calendar days and 5-Stage Vetting. The guarantee differs by model: 60-day replacement on US Direct Hire, 100% performance replacement on Global Fully Managed.

When to hire

When the queue needs more people

Most teams wait too long. These are the points where the seat pays for itself immediately.

First replies slipping Response times drift past the promise you made.
Weekends unstaffed Monday starts with a backlog every week.
Escalations climbing More tickets need a manager than used to.
Reviews mention waiting Customers cite response time, not the product.
Do any of these sound familiar?
  • First replies take longer every month.
  • Customers explain the problem twice.
  • Evenings and weekends go unanswered.
  • Your best agent handles every escalation.
  • Nobody reviews what the queue actually did.
  • Bad reviews mention the wait, not the product.
How it works

How our hiring process works

Fewer than 1% of applicants are presented. Every administrative candidate passes 5-Stage Vetting with AI-assisted screening, and you see vetted candidates in 10 calendar days.

AI-assisted screening

Every application is screened against the role's real requirements before a recruiter reviews it.

Skills assessment

Candidates prove the core skills the role needs through practical, job-specific tasks.

Communication and culture

We assess English fluency, communication, and fit for how your team actually works.

Background verification

Work history, credentials, and identity are verified before any candidate advances.

Reference checks

We speak to past managers to confirm performance before a candidate reaches you.

Model fit

Where your support reps work best

Hire in the US when
  • Accounts expect a domestic phone presence
  • The role carries regulated or onsite duties
  • Escalations need to sit beside your leadership
Hire globally when
  • Tickets and chat run entirely in your platform
  • You need evening, weekend or overnight coverage
  • Volume is growing faster than headroom in budget

Both models carry the same vetting bar and the same guarantee. Pricing for each is above.

Role / responsibility Global US direct hire Why
Email and chat queue Global Runs entirely inside your helpdesk
Overnight and weekend cover Global Timezone spread costs less than shift pay
Phone line for US accounts US direct hire Some buyers expect a domestic voice
Escalation management US direct hire Sits beside your leadership team
Quality assurance review Global Ticket sampling works from anywhere
Customer onboarding calls Global US direct hire Depends on the account and contract
Macro and template upkeep Global Documentation work, staffs globally
Voice of customer reporting Global Analysis with no location benefit

One partner, onshore and global

A US office manager working alongside two fully managed global assistants is a Tuesday, not an exception. You pick the model per desk and we run both under one partner.

FAQ

Administrative Support staffing, answered

What does a customer service staffing agency do?

A customer service staffing agency recruits and vets the people who answer your customers: support reps, chat agents, escalation specialists and success managers. HireHawk screens candidates on real ticket scenarios inside your helpdesk, then presents a shortlist in 10 calendar days under either hiring model.

Can you staff evening and weekend coverage?

Yes. Global Fully Managed hires work your hours, not theirs, so evening, weekend and overnight cover is a scheduling decision rather than an overtime bill. Our six core talent markets span enough time zones to staff a follow-the-sun rota without asking anyone to work through the night.

How do you test support candidates before we see them?

Candidates work through live ticket scenarios in the platform you use, and are scored on resolution quality, tone and speed. Fewer than 1% of applicants are presented, so the shortlist is the small group that handled realistic tickets well, not everyone who applied.

Will our support hires use our existing helpdesk?

Yes. Reps work inside your Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, HubSpot or whichever system you already run, under your macros and your escalation rules. Platform fluency is screened during vetting and confirmed in the skills assessment. Nothing about the placement requires you to change platform, and your reporting stays continuous because the tickets never leave your system.

How many tickets should one rep handle?

It depends on channel and complexity rather than a headcount formula. Chat handles the most volume per rep, phone the least, and technical products slow every channel down. We size the team against your ticket mix on the discovery call instead of quoting a number that will not survive contact with your queue.

Can support hires cover more than one channel?

Yes, and most do. A rep trained on your product typically covers email and chat comfortably, with phone added where the accent and connection suit the account base. We match candidates to the channel mix you need rather than staffing each channel separately.

Should we hire support agents or improve self-service first?

Do both, in that order. Self-service deflects the repetitive questions, but it only works when someone maintains it, and that someone is usually a support hire. Teams that build a help center without staffing it end up with stale articles and the same ticket volume they started with.

How many support hires do we need to cover weekends?

Two seats cover a seven-day rota comfortably once you account for holiday and sickness, and one seat plus overflow cover works if weekend volume is genuinely light. We size it against your actual weekend ticket pattern on the discovery call rather than assuming weekends mirror weekdays.
