Fair Pay for Bilingual Excellence 🗣️💰 Let's dive into a topic close to my heart – fair pay for bilingual rockstars! 🌟 In a world that values diversity and inclusion, it's crucial to ensure that our pay structures reflect the unique skills bilingual candidates bring to the table. If we're making bilingual proficiency a must, let's walk the talk when it comes to compensation. It's not just about language skills; it's about bridging gaps, enhancing communication, and enriching the workplace. So, here’s the deal: if you're requiring bilingual proficiency, ensure the pay increment is a non-negotiable part of the package. Think of it this way – bilingual professionals don't just speak two languages; they navigate cultural nuances, foster global connections, and contribute to a more inclusive environment. It's an invaluable asset that deserves recognition in the paycheck. For instance, if you're in customer service and fluently speak Spanish and English, you're not just handling queries – you're building bridges with a diverse customer base, ensuring everyone feels heard and understood. That's gold right there! Let's champion fair pay practices that reflect the true worth of bilingual talents. It's not just about meeting a requirement; it's about acknowledging the added value these individuals bring to the team and the company as a whole. So, hiring managers and fellow professionals, let's lead the way in making fair pay for bilingual excellence the norm. It's not just a conversation; it's a commitment to recognizing and appreciating the richness diversity brings to our workplaces. 💬💼 Your thoughts on this? Let’s keep the conversation going! 👇🏼 #fairpay #bilingualexcellence #inclusiveworkplaces #diversitymatters

Experience, genuine work ethic, loyalty and motivation… I would say that’s pretty tough to find in The UK these days, tell me i’m wrong? We’re finding it in ABUNDANCE overseas, in my experience Filipino people just execute and deliver, no moaning, they just do what they need to do to get the job done and they’re grateful to be earning a good living and learning from new experiences. South African people are hustlers too, they get shit done! They’re smart operators, they’re confident, direct and get stuck in and again, actually want to work hard in return for fair pay and good treatment from an employer. Don’t get me wrong here I know you can find superstar grafters in the UK, I just think that’s pretty few and far between and often they’re tough to attract, retain, keep motivated, etc etc and then when you consider cost per employee things get really interesting again. You can hire EXPERIENCED PEOPLE (3 years + exp for £1500-£2000 pcm ALL IN from Untapped locations and you can keep it flexible - double the productivity for half the price and that’s true across Tech (Devs/Engineers) Marketing, Design, Recruitment / HR, Sales, Admin/Support, Finance and the list goes on! 🐸☕️

FAQ – one of the most common questions asked by people applying to work for us is about our organisational structure: ❔ "Which kind of organisational structure do you have? Why don't you have traditional management positions?" ➡️ We have a very non-hierarchical organisation. Our organisational structure is best described as a matrix organisation, with experts in their field and key people who contribute to the service together with the team. Responsibility and freedom are keywords for us at Greenstep. This is also reflected in our recruitment, where we focus on finding proactive and self-driven people. At Greenstep, you get to do things your way, and processes and common practices are always refined together. We believe that when every Greensteper can influence their own work and the work community, they enjoy their work and develop professionally. Each employee is supported by a supervisor and a team, but there is also a lot of cross-team work across cities, countries and services.

🤔 Have you been stumbling into hiring international professionals? There are meaningful reasons why. 3 REASONS to hire in LATAM from USA ✅ 🌟   Highly Skilled Workforce: Latin America is home to one of the world's most sought-after talent pools. According to the latest statistics, the market in this region soared by 161%. Time Zone Harmony: Many LATAM countries share the same time zone as the USA, ensuring smooth communication and seamless workflow during regular business hours. Cost-Effectiveness, Especially in IT: With the US leading in technology, its salary offerings are competitive. In contrast, professionals in Latin America have significantly lower salary expectations, making it a cost-effective choice.   We've given you the reasons to tap into LATAM's potential. Now, it's time to make your move and start hiring!  Contact us 🤓

I won’t make you read this whole post to get the answer: It’s money and support It seems obvious, however I often find that clients are stuck in this revolving door of recruiting the same role every 2 months. The market is competitive for contact centre reps, especially those that excel in the pace of a high volume business. The reality is, 90% of contact centre positions are exactly the same. Regardless of how good your culture is, if your competitor can offer more money and better support - your staff will leave. If you want to avoid the financial and administrative nightmare of recruiting the same role constantly - pay your team above market rate and provide regular 1 on 1 catch ups. These are the two desires that come up in every interview I do, to be paid fairly and treated like more than a number by their boss!
