VIPdesk Connect currently hires in the following 17 states:  AZ, CO, FL, GA, IL, IN, MD, NC, NJ, NM, NV, OH, TN, TX, UT, VA, and WI. We are not able to hire new team members for employment in other states. In addition, we are not able to hire new team members in US territories including Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, American Samoa and Guam.

We are not currently able to consider applicants who reside outside of the United States with the limited exception of some provinces in Canada. Those openings for Canadian residents will be explicitly outlined in the Job Description.

Yes, due to client requirements, some positions are limited to specific states. Any residency restriction will be listed in the position description. Applicants not current residents of those states will not be able to apply for the opening.

We offer a part-time Flex scheduling option for some of our positions and is a great option for those seeking maximum flexibility in part-time employment. Flex work means you have the flexibility to work when you want to meet your needs. Your commitment involves 18+ hours per week of availability during Flex hours. Part-time Flex hours are generally available in the evenings and on weekends.

Transparency is one of our core values, and we want to be sure you understand that if Flex team members request hours when the majority of others are requesting hours, or when call volume projections are low, they may not be scheduled to work. If we have more team members than we need for a given time, not all team members will be scheduled for those hours. Our Workforce Management Team communicates when we have the greatest need in the upcoming weeks. By requesting hours in those time periods, Flex team members may increase the likelihood of being scheduled for more hours. In general, we have a greater need for weekend hours.
