Concentrix Review – Work at Home as a Customer Service Agent

Would you like to work from home for an international company? Are you comfortable working phone jobs from home? Do you prefer customer service type jobs over sales jobs? Then Concentrix might be something for you to further explore.

What Exactly is Concentrix?

Concentrix is an international staffing company, which supports the actual Concentrix clients who are in Banking, Healthcare, Insurance, Technology, Consumer Electronics, Retail and e-Commerce, Government, Media and Communications, Travel, Transportation, Tourism, and Automotive.

For 40 years, Concentrix has prided itself on bringing speed, flexibility, and transparency to every customer experience and transaction, especially now in this new digital age.

Concentrix has over 54,000 staff members worldwide and has a presence in 24 countries including the United States.

While there are many different positions being offered at Concentrix, the one being discussed in this article will be the virtual customer service position.

What Do Virtual Customer Service Agents Do at Concentrix?

Again, virtual or remote customer service agents serve the Concentrix clients, however they want to be served. Whether it is by email, phone, and/or web channels—you will be supplying customer service in some capacity to them.

You will be typing, answering emails, scheduling appointments, performing Internet research, and a variety of customer service type duties for Concentrix’s clients.

Concentrix doesn’t list who their clients really are, but after looking over the some of the remote job postings, it appears that Apple and Samsung are two of them.

Concentrix chooses more of the role of a staffing agency, where you will be an actual employee reporting to them and won’t know who the client is until you have landed the position.

It would be just like if you were working at a temp agency such as Manpower with Manpower being the employer.
