Your questions. Our answers.

Working Solutions was created in 1996 to provide legitimate work-at-home opportunities.
Our agent workforce is made up of highly qualified independent contractors. We partner with clients from different industries, providing them with educated and experienced professionals, as well as a talented project management team. Agents like working for us, as evidenced by our #1 rating on Glassdoor.

There are a couple ways to apply. One is on our career site. Another is on the homepage of our corporate website.

Once you submit your application and brief technology scan, you will have the opportunity to complete our assessments, which include written and verbal interview questions and aptitude tests. It will take you less than an hour to complete the whole process.

Because of the volume of applications, we only allow one-time testing. Please ensure you have the time and a quiet location before you begin.

You will be notified by email. If you meet the criteria, you will be considered for program opportunities that appear to be a match.

We will contact you by email with all the program details. If you accept the terms and are selected, an independent contractor agreement will be drafted. It will outline the scope of the work and your objectives.

Once selected, you will go through virtual preparation to learn the client’s business and customers before beginning work. Instruction can take anywhere from two days to several weeks, depending on the client. You will be paid for your time, providing you meet all the program requirements.

New programs can begin any time, and each client has different needs. A match can occur immediately or may take a little longer, so be sure to keep your application current and we will notify you with the first potential match. Be sure your ISP and/or email are set to accept email from anyone with a @workingsol.com address.

Agents who have successfully completed at least 50 hours on a program are eligible to post for additional work. Programs are available to active agents first.

Yes, agents are typically eligible to work on two programs at once. We cannot guarantee consistent work will be available, but we do our best to keep reliable and successful agents busy. Please remember that reliability is as important as performance, especially when working with a virtual workforce.

Agents are able to schedule their work hours, but they are responsible for them once set. Agents who consistently meet their commitments and perform well will be given priority scheduling.

All of our agents are self-employed contractors. Traditional employee benefits, such as paid time off and health insurance, cannot be offered. The main benefits are the ability to schedule your hours and work when it is convenient for you—from the comfort of home, without the hassles of commuting and outside expenses.

Working Solutions also offers several agent community perks, including discounts to major computer retailers, and agent rewards and referral programs.

Yes. If you were referred to us by one of our agents, be sure to list their agent ID on your application. Agents who make successful referrals are awarded $100 for each one, provided the new talent meets all requirements.

Each program is paid differently. Some pay by the record or entry, while others pay by talk minutes, sales, or a combination of both. Some agents may be paid a set amount per program. Agents have earned the equivalent of anywhere from $9 an hour to $30 an hour, depending on the program. Your income will vary, based on the work you are doing, your performance, how much work is available, and how much time you put in.

We offer direct deposit, or we can send checks by mail. Checks are issued twice a month for completed work, which must be invoiced.

Working Solutions provides flexible work schedules, ranging from 15 to 20 hours a week to 40 or more.

At certain times of year, such as the holidays, the hours can ramp up. At other times, when a program slows down, the hours can level off.

For earning potential, agents should calculate their hours in terms average workflow over time.
