Hire a Remote Dispatcher Who Keeps Every Truck and Tech Moving
A full-time dispatcher for your HVAC, plumbing, electrical, towing or trucking business: booking, routing, rescheduling and keeping customers and drivers updated, on your shifts, in your software. Only for you.
How do I hire a remote dispatcher? Tell Talentige your industry, software, call volume and shifts. We recruit bilingual French-English dispatchers in Morocco, and dispatchers in Latin America, Egypt and the Philippines, test them in a live dispatch simulation and on calls, and send you 3–5 finalists in about 14 days. Your dispatcher works full-time, only for you, and we handle the background check, contract, payment in your currency and Hubstaff tracking.
The owner gets off the phone. Techs and drivers get a calm voice who knows the board. Customers get answers.

Field service or trucking: two very different dispatch jobs
| Field service dispatcher | Truck dispatcher | |
|---|---|---|
| Who they serve | HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, garage door, pest control, cleaning, towing | Owner-operators, small fleets and carriers |
| Core work | Booking calls, assigning techs by skill and location, routing, same-day and emergency jobs, ETA updates | Finding and negotiating loads, booking with brokers, driver check-calls, tracking, rate confirmations and paperwork |
| Typical tools | ServiceTitan, Housecall Pro, Jobber, FieldEdge | DAT, Truckstop, Motive, Samsara, your TMS |
| What makes them great | Calm on the phone, fast re-planning when a job runs long | Rate negotiation, US geography and a sharp eye on hours of service |
We recruit for both, and we test for the one you need. Industry guides: HVAC and home-service companies · trucking companies and freight brokers.

How we interview and test dispatchers
- English, written and oral. Your dispatcher is on the phone all day with customers, techs, drivers and brokers. Spanish tests too when your crews or customers need it.
- Live dispatch simulation. A full schedule, then the day breaks: a tech calls in sick, an emergency comes in, a job runs two hours long. We score how they rebuild the board and who they call first.
- Mock calls. An angry customer whose tech is late, and a driver or tech who wants to push back. We listen for calm, clarity and control.
- Trucking roles: load and rate exercise. Find a load that fits the lane and equipment, work out the rate per mile, and draft the broker email.
- Software and geography check on your systems and the region you cover, plus AI training for some roles.
- Your interview, then a background check on the dispatcher you choose.
Your dispatcher's first 30 days
| When | Milestone |
|---|---|
| Week 1 | Software access, service area, price book or lanes, and your rules for who gets which job. They shadow live calls and the board. |
| Week 2 | Taking calls and booking jobs with you or your office lead watching the board, then handling routine scheduling alone. |
| Week 3 | Owning the board for full shifts: assignments, reschedules, ETAs and end-of-day handover notes. |
| Week 4 | Running dispatch independently, tracking the numbers you care about (jobs booked, response time, loads covered). Talentige checks in at day 30. |

Your hire is paid in your currency (USD for US clients, CAD for Canada, EUR for Europe, AUD for Australia, GBP for the UK), and Talentige handles the payment. They work full-time for one client only, never shared, and join your team as a contractor. They follow your holiday calendar, apart from maybe one or two local holidays you agree upfront. Every placement is backed by a 90-day replacement guarantee, and you pay nothing until you hire: one fixed placement fee that depends on the role, with no retainer by default (a small optional retainer applies only if you want us to manage payment and admin monthly).
