Role Title: Customer Service Expert – Phone Support (LATAM)
Role Type: Contractor
Location: Latam remote
Mexico, Central America, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Chile and Brazil. micro1 is engaging Customer Service Experts to contribute to a customer’s project, delivering phone-based support across the United States. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. As an independent contractor, you will represent customers during live calls, handling communications with businesses and service providers to complete everyday tasks. This remote engagement prioritizes written and verbal English communication and seeks proactive professionals from LATAM regions.
Scope of Work
- Place and receive phone calls on behalf of customers to complete tasks including reservations, appointment scheduling, and vendor confirmations.
- Engage with businesses and service providers, ensuring clear, professional communication to gather information and fulfill requests.
- Efficiently navigate phone menus, hold queues, and call centers to reach the appropriate contact for each task.
- Document outcomes and important details for every call interaction with accuracy and attention to confidentiality.
- Handle a high volume of short, consecutive calls addressing a variety of customer needs.

- Confidence in making outbound calls, including cold calls, and efficiently navigating automated phone systems.
- Reliable high-speed internet connection, quiet work environment, and a quality wired or USB headset.
- Experience in the hospitality, restaurant, or travel industries; negotiation or escalation experience is a plus.
- Proven ability to work autonomously, manage multiple consecutive tasks, and deliver high-quality service remotely.

We typically fill roles within 48 hours and expect selected candidates to start their first shifts within 24–48 hours of completing onboarding.

Common questions
Does Micro1 monitor your computer while you work?
On many projects, yes, through time-tracking tools that take periodic screenshots to verify active hours. Check the specific project's requirements before accepting if desktop monitoring is a dealbreaker.
What does the Micro1 application process look like?
Expect a screening interview with Zara, Micro1's AI recruiter. Prepare for it like a real video call: good lighting, clear audio, verbal answers to technical questions. A human manager reviews the recording afterward, and some roles add a short skills assessment on top.
What does task-based AI training work look like?
Practical, hands-on data work: recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. Tasks are designed to be short and distinct, typically 5 to 60 minutes each.
What does Business work look like for a Customer Service Expert?
Tasks here are scoped to Business, not generic labeling. As a Customer Service Expert, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Business) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Business background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
phone calls, english communication, customer service, and captcha are named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with these, expect the screening process to test for them directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.
What does the 'openings' count on this listing mean?
It's Micro1's live count of how many candidates it's still trying to place for this specific role, 49 right now, not a countdown on your individual application. A higher number signals more active demand; it doesn't lower the bar for acceptance.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $18–$28/hr, an hourly rate. The range reflects experience level and negotiated terms, not a placeholder, so where you land in it depends on your background and the assessment. Pay can change between when we last checked the listing and when you apply, so confirm the current number on the platform's own application page before committing time.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
You'll be taken to Micro1's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
Do I need a Master's to qualify?
This role lists a master's degree as a requirement. In practice, the domain assessment is the real gate. If you can pass it, the degree is usually secondary. However, some platforms verify credentials formally, so list your actual qualifications accurately on your profile.
