Hire Customer Support Agents

Support is the part of your product customers describe to other people, for better or worse. LebSource connects you with pre-vetted Lebanese support agents who cover European business hours and know your product well enough to actually resolve tickets.

01

What a Customer Support Agent does

A customer support agent handles inbound tickets, chats, and calls: diagnosing the issue, resolving what they can, escalating what they cannot along an agreed path, and keeping your knowledge base accurate as they go. They work inside your existing helpdesk so history and reporting stay in one place.

The cost

What customer support agents cost, in-house versus LebSource

Pick your country and move the slider to the gross salary you would pay locally. We do not guess the salary for you. A shipped salary table would look like research and would not be.

Your country

Local gross salary

€70,000

€30k€90k€150k

Employer overheads are added at 21%, the statutory minimum for the country you selected.

In-house

€84,700

per year, salary plus 21% employer overheads

Through LebSource

€48,279

per year, all-in, for the same capability

You keep

€36,421

a year, per person, up to 43% of the loaded cost of the equivalent local hire. That is roughly €3,035 a month back, or the budget for a second hire every 2 people you take on.

What this leaves out, in both directions: recruitment fees and the cost of the role sitting unfilled (which count against hiring locally), and onboarding ramp and management time (which apply either way). The full calculator includes the vacancy cost and lets you model multiple hires. Real pricing depends on the specific role and seniority. This is an illustration, not a quote.

FAQ

Hiring customer support agents with LebSource

Will agents use our helpdesk or their own?

Yours. They work in your existing helpdesk, knowledge base, and Slack so your reporting and ticket history stay intact.

How much product training do they need?

Enough to resolve rather than escalate. We plan a real onboarding period on your product instead of handing someone a macro library.

Can they cover weekends or evenings?

Tell us the window you need and we will scope it explicitly. A standard Beirut daytime shift already covers European business hours.
