Searches for remote customer service jobs have doubled since 2022, and employers from fintech to healthcare now hire virtual agents around the clock. Three forces drive the surge:
24/7 customer expectations – Global users want help on their local timetable.
Cloud contact-centre tech – Tools like Zendesk, Five9 and AI chatbots let reps log in from anywhere.
Cost + talent advantages – Companies cut overhead while tapping wider talent pools; workers gain location freedom.
