Red Shore Solutions

Customer Support Staff Augmentation

Add vetted support professionals while retaining management control.

Overview

Scale your support team quickly without giving up operational control. Red Shore Solutions sources, vets, and prepares customer support professionals who work directly in your systems, under your leadership, and to your service standards.

Common Challenges We Solve

  • Hiring timelines are too slow for growth or seasonal spikes.
  • Internal team leads are stretched and cannot sustain ticket backlog.
  • Candidate quality is inconsistent across agencies or freelance pools.
  • Support quality drops when rapid hiring is not paired with structured onboarding.

Scope of Service

  • Role calibration for channels, schedules, and skill requirements.
  • Candidate sourcing across aligned support talent pools.
  • Structured vetting: communication quality, domain fit, and scenario response.
  • Client-led interviews and final selection.
  • Onboarding support aligned to your tools, workflows, and brand voice.

How Delivery Works

  1. Discovery: define role profiles, language, shift needs, and success metrics.
  2. Sourcing and screening: shortlist qualified candidates.
  3. Client interviews: your team selects final hires.
  4. Ramp-up: onboarding plans, quality expectations, and supervision alignment.
