Industry: EdTech / SaaS

Roles: 2 Customer Success Representatives

Location: Chile & Honduras

Hiring Model: All-In Monthly Rate

Background: Scaling Customer Success Without Compromising Quality

A fast-growing EdTech company needed to expand its Customer Success team to support schools and educators using its SaaS learning platform.

The company was looking for experienced professionals who could guide new customers through onboarding, help teachers successfully adopt the platform, and provide outstanding support throughout the school year.

Rather than spending months sourcing and interviewing candidates internally, they partnered with South to find experienced, customer-focused professionals who could quickly become an extension of their team.

The Challenge

The client needed Customer Success Representatives who combined excellent communication skills with a strong background supporting SaaS products.

The ideal candidates needed to have:

  • 5+ years of Customer Success or Customer Support experience
  • Exceptional written and spoken English
  • Experience onboarding and training customers
  • Experience supporting SaaS or EdTech platforms
  • A customer-first mindset and the ability to work independently in a remote environment

Because these professionals would be working directly with schools and educators, finding candidates with both technical knowledge and strong interpersonal skills was critical.

The Solution

South managed the recruitment process from beginning to end, including:

  • Role calibration
  • Candidate sourcing and coordination
  • Screening and interviews
  • English evaluation
  • Background and Reference checks
  • Offer, payroll, compliance, and ongoing operational support from now on.

Our first shortlist of vetted candidates was delivered within 5 business days of launching the search.

Within approximately one month, including multiple interview rounds, compensation alignment, and background checks, the client successfully hired two outstanding Customer Success Representatives.

Today, we continue supporting the company as they expand their LATAM team with additional hires.
