What makes this hire hard
Always screen by phone before meeting — this is the one role where the telephone interview IS the job sample. Attrition is very high, so hire in cohorts, invest in the first two weeks properly, and publish realistic call targets rather than discovering them on day three.

Hiring a Telecaller — questions employers ask
How do we reduce telecaller attrition?
Realistic targets, proper first-fortnight training and supervisors who coach rather than only monitor. Attrition here is largely a management problem, not a candidate-quality problem.
What call volume is reasonable?
It depends heavily on product and list quality. Set it from your own data and state it in the advert — inflated numbers guarantee early exits and wasted training.
Does language matter more than experience?
Usually yes. A fluent speaker in your customers’ language outperforms an experienced caller who cannot connect in it.
