Success Guide
This role is all about high volume phone work and staying organised under pressure. To stand out, highlight any experience where you had to hit daily targets, manage a busy calendar or keep candidates warm through a long process. If you have used an ATS or scheduling tools like Calendly, mention it clearly.
Before you apply, make sure you actually have a fixed fibre line and a power backup solution, because the listing says applicants without these cannot be considered. Also be ready to talk about how you handle no shows and keep your energy up during a long shift that ends at 1am. The interview will likely focus on your resilience, communication style and ability to follow a structured screening process.
