Customer Support Specialist Workable
Boston, MA

Job Description

Workable makes software to help companies find and hire great people. We get recruiting and its role in building healthy workplaces - which is why we're proud more than 20,000 teams around the world use Workable to do exactly that.

And while we take recruiting seriously, we don't take ourselves too seriously. At Workable, you'll find smart people who have fun, learn and innovate, and help others do the same. We brainstorm, we laugh, and, occasionally, we party (there's a lot to celebrate), but we also appreciate people's need for quiet time and focused work. We respect everyone, we hire the best, and make sure every experience is special.

For our Boston office, located near South Station, we are looking for a Customer Support Specialist. You will become the person customers rely on to get an important job done well. You will:

* Advise businesses on the best way to organize their recruitment
* Respond to user questions or issues with friendly and pragmatic advice
* Support users when they run into trouble, utilizing a number of troubleshooting tools
* Review job descriptions to ensure they will be successful on job boards

You won't be just someone that talks to customers for us so we don't have to. Your ability to help customers succeed with their recruitment will have a direct and visible impact to Workable's bottom line. For us, outstanding customer service is a competitive advantage: By actively supporting trial customers from day one and delighting them with the speed, courtesy and diligence of our support, we win them over. By tirelessly supporting them throughout their subscription, resolving questions, or helping them adopt our more advanced features, we make them stick around long-term. By surprising them with personable and friendly service unlike anything they have experienced we turn them into evangelists of our software who rave about us on twitter and recommend us to their friends. You will be the reason we get comments like these in our email every day:

"I have to say I have been so impressed with how responsive, pleasant and professional everyone with the company has been. Kudos to you and your team!"

In other words, you'll be doing one of the most important jobs at Workable. You will be treated as such, and equally, you'll have to live up to very high expectations.

Requirements

You must be:

* Tech-savvy, meaning that you are comfortable using modern office productivity tools Zendesk/JIRA, you are an efficient user of spreadsheet software and you can understand/learn our product well enough to be able to explain it to others.
* Pleasant and patient communicator. We pride ourselves on our exceptionally friendly customer support over email, live chat and telephone. We communicate with respect and timeliness and we guide our users with patience and dedication.
* Self-motivated, having a drive to carve out a career with a fast-growing tech startup.
* Available to work hours between 9am-6pm, with very occasional weekend hours to support our customers world-wide.

You should have:

* A college or university degree
* 1 to 3 years of professional (or internship) experience
* A positive attitude and desire to help customers

Bonus points if you have experience in any of the following: customer support, technical education, account management, quality assurance, software (ideally SaaS/cloud) or technology industry, writing (blog, articles, copywriting).

On top of an exciting, vibrant and intellectually challenging workplace, we offer:

* Competitive salary
* Free daily meals, snacks and beverages
* Apple gear
* Mobile plan
* Travel opportunities in the US and abroad
* 401(K) plan
