At this point, you know we love a good work-from-home job.
The flexibility and freedom of a remote position can go a long way when you’re cultivating that healthy balance between work and play.
And while there are so many awesome ways to make extra cash from the comfort of your own home, it’s always a bonus when those opportunities come with benefits and a steady paycheck.
Besides — wouldn’t it be nice to do away with that pesky commute (and all the weird things you say to yourself while driving) for good?
7 Companies That Are Hiring People to Work From Home
These seven companies need work-from-home customer service representatives — and they’re hiring now!
1. Customer Happiness Representative at Recruiterbox
Recruiterbox is a “recruiting software for productive hiring,” with headquarters based in San Francisco, California.
As the Customer Happiness Representative, you’ll be tasked with talking to prospects and customers via email and chat to resolve product questions and ensuring that customer queries are passed on to the proper team and resolved in a timely fashion, among other things.
You should be a patient and enthusiastic problem solver, able to boil down technical terms into simple written and spoken English and eager to connect with customers on a human level.
This position is full-time, and you can work from anywhere within the U.S. — but be aware that hours will be based around a U.S. Eastern Time work day.
We’ve reached out to the company to find out what benefits someone in this position might enjoy, along with what this position pays, and we’ll update the post when we find out more.

2. Customer Support Expert (or Harvest Expert) at Harvest
Harvest is a software company creating tools to help businesses run more smoothly.
As a Harvest Expert, you’ll answer customer emails and phone calls, troubleshoot technical issues, field questions form prospective customers, create written and video documentation for the Help Center and participate in product development — all while treating customers with sincerity and respect.
A good fit for this position will have flawless grammar (they’re serious about this one) and exceptional communication skills. You should be able to de-escalate tough situations with grace while proactively problem solving and helping out where needed.
Harvest is headquartered in New York, so your workday will generally be during East Coast working hours.
Every employee enjoys the same awesome perks, including 100% medical and dental coverage and a flexible schedule, according to Harvest’s website. Unfortunately, I’d hazard a guess that if you’re working from home, the fresh fruit and fresh brewed coffee aren’t included.
