About this task

This telecom operator in mobile (501–1,000 employees) is looking for a senior Phone Screener for a monthly bundle of recurring tasks, 12–24 h a month. Short calls for high-volume roles with fast handoff.

The company wants one reliable owner for a list of small jobs instead of five different people. It is a telecom company, with large datasets and long-running programmes.

The work is fully remote, but the company can only contract people who live in California, so this one is for residents there. You choose your hours; nothing is scheduled except an occasional short call. About 1 hour a week should overlap with the team's day (PT).

What you deliver

  • Screen 80 applicants for a seasonal office role in two weeks and hand 20 to hiring managers.
  • A named list of items moved to next month, so nothing is lost
  • A month-end summary with hours used against the cap
  • The monthly list of items completed, each with a link to the result

What a month looks like

  • Week 1: intake call and a list of what is due this month
  • Weeks 2 and 3: items completed in short sessions
  • Week 4: month-end summary and the list for next month

Duration: 12 weeks, with a monthly hours cap. Accepted when the company contact confirms the deliverable against the written checklist. One round of edits is included.
