• Approximately 2,000 accounts requiring employee count verification.
• Initial quality assurance batch before expanding to larger volumes.
• Three-month contract with work assigned in phases.
• Opportunity for additional hours based on project needs and performance.

• Excellent verbal English communication skills.
• Professional, friendly, and confident phone presence.
• Comfortable making a high volume of short outbound calls.
• Strong attention to detail when documenting call outcomes.
• Able to work independently once trained on the workflow and script.
• Organized and dependable with consistent follow-through.
