Agency context

Built for agency work, not generic remote hiring.

Agency customer success is not SaaS ticket support. A nearshore CSM needs to understand service delivery, client confidence, reporting rhythm, and renewal risk while working close enough to the US day to act quickly.

Working-call vetting
  • A working-call exercise around an unhappy client and weak account momentum.
  • Live communication screen for tone, clarity, ownership, and escalation judgment.
  • AI workflow test for account-health synthesis from calls, tasks, and reporting notes.
AI month one
  • Churn-watch summaries from calls, delivery notes, and reporting movement.
  • Renewal preparation briefs with facts, risk, and next actions.
  • Client communication drafts for tense account moments.

Every placement includes 4 live 1-on-1 AI instructor sessions in the first four weeks post-placement.

Fit check

We say no more often than yes.

// For

  • You want a junior client coordinator.
