Gordian Recommendations and Considerations
Soft Skills
Under each job category we have listed the top ten “Soft Skills” we see with the most success in a particular category. These may change depending on your company or individual position needs.
Skill Level
With each position we have included recommended skill levels of one through four. These skill levels are based not only on the skills and experience often required but also on considerations for remote training. Unless your company and supervisors have extensive experience managing Remote Team Members (RTM), we recommend starting with a Level 1 RTM and building to a Level 4 RTM.
Please note that we do not allow clients to hire a level 3 or level 4 RTM until they have worked with other remote staff. It represents a fundamental change in the business model and is not recommended until you have several entry-level and mid-level remote staff for at least six months.
Accent Level
With each position we have included recommended accent levels based on success we have seen. These may change depending on your company or individual position needs. Accent levels are broken down as follows:
Level 1 = Natural or faint accent, difficult to decern English is a second language.
Level 2 = Slight accent, more obvious English is a second language but rarely need to repeat themselves.
Level 3 = Noticeable accent, English is noticeably a second language and may need to repeat themselves on occasion.
Level 4 = Heavy accent, may require more active listening and repeating themselves more frequently
