Independence is one of the greatest advantages of being a contractor for Verbatim. Verbatim Outreach Professionals set their own schedules, within the parameters of the projects on which they agree to work. All we ask is that contractors:

— Be an organization, U.S. citizen or a resident who can legally perform the required services in the U.S.

— Be an adult at least 18 years of age

— Be willing to meet the technology and home office requirements outlined below

— Commit to a project for its entirety

— Adhere to our performance standards

— Offer some scheduling flexibility to help meet the client's needs

As an independent contractor for Verbatim, you’ll enjoy the opportunity to work from a home office you create. You may already have an existing home office or a place in mind to create one. You will need:

Where to put your home office and how to furnish it are entirely up to you. Verbatim expects its professional contractors to free themselves of distractions and background noise, such as television or barking dogs, which can interfere with call quality.
