What You'll Do

As a Remote Appointment Setter / Phone Booker, you'll be one of the first points of contact for prospective candidates and play an important role in creating a professional, positive applicant experience.

☎️ Candidate Outreach

  • Make outbound calls to candidates who have already expressed interest in available career opportunities

  • Introduce yourself professionally and confirm candidate interest

  • Answer basic questions regarding the interview and scheduling process

  • Encourage interested candidates to complete the appropriate next step

  • Follow up consistently with candidates who have not yet scheduled

  • Reconnect with candidates who missed an appointment

  • Assist candidates who need to reschedule

  • Maintain professional and friendly communication throughout the process


📅 Appointment Setting & Interview Scheduling

Your primary responsibility is simple: connect with interested candidates and get qualified appointments scheduled.

You'll:

  • Schedule interviews using our online calendar system

  • Confirm interview dates and times

  • Assist candidates with scheduling links when necessary

  • Send or coordinate appointment confirmations and reminders

  • Follow up with candidates before scheduled appointments

  • Using online recruiting and scheduling systems

  • Collaborating with recruiters and hiring managers

Warm Leads — No Traditional Cold Calling

This is an outbound phone position, so candidates should be comfortable making calls throughout the workday.

However, you're not randomly calling people who have never heard from us.

You'll primarily connect with warm candidate leads—individuals who have already applied, responded to a recruiting opportunity, or expressed interest in learning more about available positions.

Your job is to help move them through the next steps:

Connect → Engage → Schedule → Confirm → Follow Up

If you're comfortable speaking with people and enjoy turning conversations into scheduled appointments, this could be an excellent fit.

You may thrive in this position if you're:

  • Friendly, confident, and professional on the phone

  • Comfortable making a high volume of outbound calls

  • Dependable with strong follow-through

  • Able to manage multiple conversations and appointments

  • Self-motivated and productive while working remotely

  • Comfortable working toward appointment and activity goals

  • Able to manage your time effectively

  • Comfortable learning new technology

  • Positive and receptive to coaching

  • Able to work independently while contributing to a team

Consistency matters.

Successful appointment setters understand that results come from daily activity, strong communication, organized follow-up, and persistence.


No Experience? We'll Train You.

Previous recruiting or appointment-setting experience is helpful, but not required.

We provide training in areas such as:

  • Phone communication

  • Candidate outreach

  • Appointment-setting techniques

  • Scheduling procedures

  • Candidate follow-up

  • Handling common questions

  • Interview confirmation strategies

  • Calendar management

  • Recruiting systems

  • Professional email and text communication

  • Candidate relationship management

You'll also receive ongoing coaching and support as you develop your skills.

Appointment Setting • Customer Service • Recruiting • Talent Acquisition • Scheduling • Call Centers • Administrative Support • Reception • Customer Care • Inside Sales • Telemarketing • Lead Generation • Client Relations • Staffing • Healthcare Scheduling • Hospitality • Retail • Sales Support

Entry-level candidates and career changers are encouraged to apply.

We value communication skills, dependability, organization, professionalism, coachability, and work ethic as much as previous experience.
