We are currently partnering with an industry-leading client to find a highly capable and adaptable Bilingual Customer Service Representative. If you are a suitable candidate who thrives in a fast-paced, unscripted environment, we encourage you to apply to this role!
Job Title: Bilingual Customer Service Representative (Bilingual CSR)
Location: 3333 James Snow Parkway, Milton, ON
Work Setup: 100% On-site, 5 days per week
Start Date: Ongoing hiring (Currently targeting August for the next cohort, but flexible)
Advantages
Our client offers highly competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits package designed for long-term career satisfaction.
- Hourly Pay: $35.00 – $40.00 / hour (Compensation is based on experience, education, and internal equity).
- Health Benefits: Comprehensive medical and dental coverage begins on Day 1.
- Retirement & Bonuses: 6% RRSP match. Eligible for profit-sharing after 3 years of service (based on overall company performance).
- Time Off: 16 PTO days per calendar year (prorated based on start date). This inclusive bank covers both vacation and sick time (it is recommended to reserve 6 days for sick leave).
- Additional Perks: Free on-site parking and regular company-hosted events.
- Overtime: Paid at a premium after 44 hours. Voluntary overtime shifts are frequently available for those looking to maximize their earnings.
Responsibilities
This role operates in a fast-paced, highly professional corporate setting without an IVR system, meaning you will be on the front lines directly assisting clients.
- Core Duties: Handle unscripted inbound customer inquiries via phone and email. Daily tasks include order entry, invoicing, providing pricing quotes, and complex issue resolution.
- Progressive Workload: Training and workload are cumulative to ensure your success. New hires begin with English calls, progress to English emails, then advance to French calls, and finally, French emails.
- Volume & Pace: Expect a high-volume environment. For the first 2–3 months, new hires handle 50–60 calls per day. The role eventually transitions into a daily mix of 20–30 calls and 30–40 emails.
- Performance Metrics: Target handle times are 3.5 minutes per call and 5–6 minutes per email.
Qualifications
We are looking for quick thinkers who can navigate a strict corporate environment with ease and professionalism.
- Work History: A highly stable and consistent work history is our top priority (no "choppiness" or unexplained gaps on the resume).
- Experience: Customer-facing experience is required, though it does not need to be from a traditional call center. Successful candidates often transition from retail, hospitality, or are tech-savvy recent graduates. (Note: Candidates with strictly banking backgrounds often find the lack of scripts challenging).
- Education: A Bachelor's degree is highly preferred. A High School diploma is accepted only if accompanied by approximately 10 years of traditional call center experience.
- Key Traits: Highly adaptable, professional, quick on your feet, and comfortable without a script.
