Company mission
VouchedFor is on a mission to help people find the best advice for life’s big decisions.
Role
Who you are
- This is who we're looking to find:
- You're an excellent communicator and can talk to anyone; you’re comfortable talking to different personality types and find it easy to build rapport
- You can think on your feet; you use your naturally analytical mind to problem-solve on the spot, asking the right questions to find solutions
- A genuine desire to help people - we're a mission-driven business, so it’s important that you can demonstrate a passion and desire to help others
- You have an exceptionally strong work ethic with the drive to get things done to a high standard
What the job involves
- As a Client Insights Associate, you'll play a pivotal role in conducting phone-based research and gathering insights for key VouchedFor clients. We're looking for someone with excellent communication skills, who thrives in a structured environment, and is driven to meet performance targets. You'll have the opportunity to develop skills across customer research and data collection, while building in-depth knowledge of financial services in a fast-growing tech company
- VouchedFor is on a mission to help people find the best advice for life’s big decisions. We are already the UK’s leading platform for consumers to find trusted financial advisers - but our ambition is so much larger. Today, only 10% of Brits have received financial advice, and we want to change that. This role is an opportunity to speak directly with large numbers of financial advisers’ clients to understand the quality of the financial advice they received and the impact it had on them
- As a Client Insights Associate, your role will involve:
- Conducting telephony research with 30-40 customers of financial advisers each week, to understand how their adviser helped them, what went well, and what could be improved
- Achieving a high volume of outbound dials (around 60 per day) to ensure the weekly quota of successful calls is met
- Learning technical concepts relating to financial services, allowing you to effectively assess how good a service each customer received from their adviser
- Helping us identify trends and insights to report back to our client, who's one of the largest advice businesses in the UK
- Working in collaboration with your team and the wider business, supporting individual, team, and company goals
Salary benchmarks
Our take
VouchedFor aims to help people find the best financial advisers, solicitors and accountants in their area. VouchedFor's review site allows professional advisers to increase their visibility in the local area, whilst clients can review the quality of their service and rate them, to improve transparency in the marketplace.
The vision of the company is to build a platform that becomes essential in choosing an adviser. VouchedFor differentiates itself by ensuring that all the advisers are vetted for qualifications and relevant authorisations by appropriate government bodies. Users can then leave reviews for the services provided by the advisers, and the company can verify the identity of all reviewers in order to ensure that the reviews are genuine.
Around 2 million consumers use VouchedFor each year. It makes money by charging advisers a subscription fee in order to access the community and to become verified, but it is free for customers to use. The biggest challenge the company faces is ensuring that the platform remains moderated and doesn't become subject to fake reviews, as has been faced on other review sites such as Trustpilot and Tripadvisor.
