This position is no longer available.

Every year, FishingBooker helps more and more people catch that bucket list fish! That’s why we’re now fishing for talented and enthusiastic people to join us as Customer Happiness Agents.

Customer Happiness Agents are the face of our organization for captains and customers. We want their FishingBooker support experience to set new standards, just like FishingBooker’s platform does. Our team cares for customers by solving problems, scaling solutions, and sharing user feedback with internal teams to influence product development. A FishingBooker Customer Happiness Agent is a crucial part of our core business, and we want you to be a part of it!

About the job

The Customer Happiness team is one of the biggest teams in our company. There are currently 13 people in the team, including three supervisors, a team lead, and a Quality Assurance Specialist, who all provide essential support to customers and captains worldwide. Petar, Aleksandar, Milos, Ana, and Lena are dedicated to helping the team with their training, personal and professional growth, and career paths.

The Customer Happiness team focuses on three main areas – captain support, customer support, and managing bookings. These will be your main focus during our busy season (May-August). In addition to these main responsibilities, there is a lot of space for you to work on or suggest other projects during our off-season. You can pitch an idea and collaborate with Product and Engineering teams to improve our platform or work on a personal project related to your career development.

In a broad sense, Customer Happiness Agents are responsible for the following:

  • Being the first point of contact for customers and captains, engaging with them via phone and email;

  • Guiding customers to help them find and book the perfect fishing trip;

  • Guiding captains through the platform and assisting them with any questions they have;

  • Jumping into customer/captain interactions to make sure things are running smoothly: modifying reservations, handling special requests, and various other situations;

  • Being accountable for achieving maximum customer satisfaction as measured by CSAT;

  • Actively participating in various projects within the department, as well as with other teams.

This is a versatile role, and our team consists of smart and dedicated people from various backgrounds.

 

 

Shifts

Since our main market is the US, afternoon shifts between 3:00 PM–11:00 PM are the most common in this position. However, as our company offers 24/7 support, shifts can also include: 

  • 7:00 AM - 3:00 PM

  • 12:00 PM - 8:00 PM

  •  6:00 PM - 2:00 AM

  • 11:00 PM - 7:00 AM 

You will work five days per week and have two days off. We try hard to ensure you have consecutive days off. Usually, we schedule agents to work the same shift throughout the week. Most often, you will not work the night shift more than one week per month.  

Monthly schedules are published two weeks before the start of the month, so you can make your plans well ahead of time. We do whatever we can to ensure that free weekends and night shifts are fairly spread across the team.

Training and onboarding

We won’t throw you in the deep end as soon as you arrive. Before you start taking any calls, you’ll have two weeks of thorough training and a week of shadowing to ensure you have the best possible base to start with. You’ll learn all about the company and our business model in addition to receiving role-specific training. Once you start picking up those calls, we’ll make sure senior colleagues are there to help you every step of the way. We also have refreshment workshops to ensure your skills and knowledge are always sharp. Previous fishing knowledge is not required, but with the training and onboarding provided, you will become an expert in no time.
