WHAT WE DO

i24 Call Management Solutions answers the phones for our clients when they can't. We manage phone calls for businesses of all sizes across Canada. 24/7/365, including holidays.
i24 is strictly inbound call management company. That means you won’t be asked to do any outbound calls, sales solicitations or upselling for existing clients. As a Call Management Agent (CMA), you will be servicing inbound client calls only.

As a bilingual service, our agents offer service in French and English.

Examples of the types of calls we manage are assisting a caller in getting service for their home, reaching their building manager, making a
doctor’s appointment, getting technical support and more – all on the same day. If you don’t like boredom, you’ll love working at i24.

Of course, we don’t expect you to come by these skills naturally, as long as you provide the smile and the curiosity, we provide one of the best
professional call management training in the country.

Our call center is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Therefore, we have a need for agents who are available for multiple
shifts. We will do our best to accommodate your preferences, but your availability must still be flexible. Our shifts start at varying times,
depending on our needs at the time. We do NOT have a day shift and an evening shift on the same hours at all times.

For example: we cannot accommodate Monday to Friday availability between 8:30am and 4:30pm only.
Our day shifts can start as early as 6am, but also at 6:30am, 7am, 7:30am, 8am, 10am, 11am, etc.
Our evening shifts can end at 8pm, 9:30pm, 10pm, 11pm, midnight or 2am.
We do not offer a Monday to Friday schedule only, but weekends can be rotated or done 1 day out of 2 in continuity.
