Job description

ISTA Personnel Solutions is a fast-growing, global BPO company. We are not a recruitment agency. We operate as a dedicated extension of our U.S.-based clients' teams, delivering high-quality operational support with precision, efficiency, and professionalism.

• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities independently
• Enjoys structured, process-driven work
• Proactive mindset with a strong drive to take ownership
• Learns new systems quickly
