Let's continue to set you up for success. Headsets are a big part of our workday here at TTEC. Our goal is to make sure it works with our systems so we can support any troubleshooting that may come up. We recommend USB wired headsets. Some items you’ll want to consider:
- Comfort – you may be wearing it all day, so think of your comfort
- Mute Button – while our system has a mute button – it’s way easier for you if the headset has the mute button built in
- Volume Control Buttons – while our system has volume control – you may like it more if the headset itself has volume control buttons built in
Heads up! The headset will be tested later in the process to ensure that it works with our systems.
And remember… wireless Bluetooth headsets are non-supported devices.

Hired? Your recruiter will connect with you to talk about what your program requirements are for the SSD drive.

Ever been on a call with someone and their internet goes down? Because we’re delivering amazing service on every interaction, your internet service must be 99.99% stable. We need to minimize any form of network disruption, slow service and network connectivity loss.
Here are the requirements for network latency and packet loss:
- Network Latency: A reliable internet connection is critical, so we want to ensure that your network has minimal latency, which is the time it takes for a request to provide a response on a network. 120ms when testing to our server is the maximum allowable latency, but we would hope that your network is even faster.
- Packet Loss: Maximum allowable packet loss is 0%. If any packages (a bit of information) are lost across your network before they reach your destination, you will have noticeably poor performance.
