We are a Criminal Defense firm that is on track for aggressive growth, and we need a Receptionist who can hit the ground running to give callers and potential clients an outstanding customer service experience.
Our Receptionist will build relationships with people who contact our firm looking for help with a legal crisis. Success in this position requires that you display a combination of empathy, experience, and skill. You will play an integral role in creating a memorable experience for clients and everyone else who contacts our firm.
We want to be known for helping our clients come out of an extremely difficult process feeling as though they are a better person, in a better position, and that they had a team behind them that really cared and fought for them.
We are growing fast, and we are investing time and energy in building our A-Team. There will be training on the types of legal matters we handle, how we track our leads, and how to use our calendaring system. However, we are looking for someone who can hit the ground running when it comes to answering phones, routing calls, managing the firm calendar, and meeting deadlines.
The ideal candidate will be able to take initiative on work that needs to be done and complete tasks with minimal hand-holding.
If selected, initial compensation is based on projected productivity and performance. You'll receive comprehensive training on our office systems and procedures, ensuring a smooth transition into your role. All necessary equipment will be provided.
This is a part-time work from home (WFH) job where you are expected to manage a sizeable call volume. The pay will be $16 to $18 per hour, depending on experience, and the first 90 days of employment will be probationary. During your probationary period, you will report to the Downtown Colorado Springs location and a parking pass will be provided.
