Customer Service Representative

We are recruiting customer service representatives for offices, order desks and contact centres in Markham.

This is inbound service, not sales: answering customers by phone, email and chat, entering and tracking orders, sorting out delivery and billing problems and recording it all accurately. Employers tell us what they need most is someone who stays calm with an unhappy caller and writes a clear note for the next person.

Milliken Mills is the easiest industrial area in York Region to reach without a car: Milliken GO on the Stouffville line and the TTC's 53 Steeles East put most sites within a ten-minute walk. Viva Purple and YRT route 1 run along Highway 7 through Markham Centre, and Viva Green and the 24 Woodbine link the Highway 404 offices to Don Mills station. Our office is at 3950 14th Avenue, so you can register in person.

These roles also suit people living in Unionville, Thornhill, Richmond Hill, Stouffville and north Scarborough.
