We help small businesses grow by providing exceptional phone support for their customers. Apollo Answering Service helps manage jobs, appointments, orders, shipments, and so much more.

Virtual Receptionists interpret the needs of the customers and make sure the things that matter most get the attention they deserve. As an extension of our client's business, we are often someone's first impression.

We're a small, dedicated team of 15 Texans working with a company who has been around for over 50 years.

If you're a Texas state resident, you could be exactly who we are looking for! We're looking for someone who loves helping people tackle unique problems to join our small, but growing Texas team; someone who is delighted to talk with people over the phone. Does that sound like you?

How we work

We work in short shifts and move at a fast pace. You will have little down time during your shifts. This is not a position in which you can multitask while performing other professional or personal tasks.

Part-time hours with full time perks. We work about 32 hours per week on average. Some weeks are as low as 25 and others as high as 40. We believe in a work life balance.

Our dedication to that balance is why we offer two weeks of paid time off in your first year, and the company covers 75% of your health, dental and vision insurance.

When we work

Being a 24/7 business, we need receptionists around the clock. Right now we are looking for people who can WORK ANY SHIFT BETWEEN 10AM - 10PM, MONDAY THROUGH SUNDAY, INCLUDING WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS.

Don't worry, you won't work 12 hours every single day.  Instead, we work 3 - 4 hour shifts throughout the 12 hour time window. Normally, we take at least two days off each week, but sometimes only 1 full day.

What you'll do as a Virtual Receptionist:

• Answer a high volume of incoming calls using your personal windows computer.

• Demonstrate an enthusiastic and upbeat attitude, while helping the person on the other end of the phone.

• Capture details from each call including names, phone numbers, addresses, reference numbers, and thorough description of the reason for the call.
