Inbound Customer Service Agents (FTC) | US Healthcare | Rotating Shifts (Remote)

ISTA Personnel Solutions is a dynamic and fast-growing BPO company. We are not a recruitment agency. We partner with international US clients and integrate our staff members directly within our clients' operations. We focus on long-term placements where you contribute directly to the client's success.

We are currently building a talent pool for an upcoming seasonal hiring campaign with one of our valued US healthcare clients.

This US-based company provides convenient, same-day healthcare services by sending trained medical assistants and connecting patients with licensed healthcare providers in their homes, helping individuals and families receive medical care without needing to travel to a clinic or waiting room

Each year, in preparation for the US flu season, our client significantly expands their team. We are inviting experienced customer service professionals to express their interest early.

If you enjoy helping people, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and are looking for an exciting remote opportunity supporting the US healthcare industry, we'd love to hear from you.
