Today at Hired, 56 Freshdesk Occasional Agents handle service and support—with traffic control filtered through one full-time customer service representative and eight other licensed users. This means that anyone in the company can resolve customer or employer issues—at savings to the company of almost $4,000 per month over the traditional license model. This feature, the Occasional Agent, was the deciding factor in acquiring Freshdesk, and a game-changer for Hired. Using Freshdesk as an interdepartmental collaboration tool, the IT team can prioritize, assign, and monitor this internal support system, and it’s working well, according to Nate: “The Freshdesk approach has made it possible to grow our customer service presence virtually seamlessly from department to department, without any significant interruption. There’s just one email address for everyone, whether you’re a job seeker, an employer, or an employee of Hired. Using this technique, everybody knows where to report. Every issue—from a customer issue to a plumbing problem, to a request for a custom report—gates through the support email. We’ve found it extremely efficient. Using Freshdesk, we’ve woven a culture of support throughout our company.”

Key successes with Freshdesk After the quick implementation of Freshdesk, Hamleys could effectively optimize customer support operations. Since going live with Freshdesk, workflows are much more streamlined and efficient. By reducing manual efforts for agents, SLA adherence has improved. With admins spending less time on manual reporting tasks, this has freed up time for management to think strategically about their customer service, which is starting to impact positively on customer satisfaction levels. Speaking specifically about agent performance, Vaughan states, “agents are now able to measure themselves and see how well they are doing, that gives them a boost.” Even the gamification of the helpdesk has helped boost overall employee morale. “With gamification, our agents are able to see each other’s scores. This has created a healthy competition among the team and their feedback about this has been very positive”, says Vaughan. “Now that we have statistics and can see agent performance scores, that encourages our teams to provide even better customer service. My agents are happier now.” In terms of quantifiable benefits, Hamleys was able to see a 50% reduction in cost as a result of switching to Freshdesk.
