Customer Support Specialist

For over 31,000 growing businesses and HR teams seeking a comprehensive, all-in-one HR suite, Workable emerges as the premier solution. We uniquely combine the world’s most widely adopted Applicant Tracking System (Workable Recruiting) with a full-spectrum employee management system (Workable HR). At Workable, we empower companies to focus on what truly matters: hiring the right people and fostering their growth.

While we take HR seriously, we maintain a lighthearted and collaborative culture. At Workable, you’ll find smart people who have fun, learn, innovate, and help others do the same. We respect everyone, we hire the best, and make sure every experience is special.

We’re looking for a Customer Support Specialist to join our Customer Support team in Boston.

As a Customer Support Specialist, you will be the human face of Workable. 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.
