Your scoreboard is a calendar, and the only number on it that counts is how many of the slots you filled were actually sat in. Appointment setter roles on FindTalent start from $5/hr, paid to you directly in USD by the employer.
Appointment setting is one of the few remote roles where your results are visible from week one, and pay follows them closely. Entry work is warm or inbound calls on a script you are given, with a manager listening. Rates rise as you handle colder lists, real objections, and qualification calls where you decide whether a lead is worth the closer's time. The top of the $5 to $16 an hour span goes to setters who source or clean their own lists, keep show rates high rather than just booking volume, and can work a technical or high-ticket offer. Base-plus-commission is common, so strong show rates raise your real earnings well beyond the hourly figure. Your employer pays you directly in USD, and FindTalent takes no cut.

Often yes. Appointment setting rewards clear, confident spoken English and coachability more than a long résumé, and many employers train new setters on their script and offer. Expect a voice screening and a short role-play of a booking call before you're hired, so recording a strong 30-second voice intro on your profile is one of the best things you can do. Warm-lead and inbound roles are the most common entry points.
Two calendars set your hours, not one: the window when prospects pick up, and the window when the person you are booking for is free. In practice most Philippine-based setters work a graveyard block against North American accounts, though Australian and Singapore campaigns sit close to Manila hours and come up regularly. Part-time is genuinely common in this role, often a four-hour block timed to the start of the buyer morning, because that is when booking rates peak. Split shifts appear too, a morning block and an evening block, and they usually pay something for the inconvenience. Every listing states its type, and the description gives the shift.

A reliable computer, a good noise-canceling headset, and a stable internet connection (10+ Mbps recommended, with backup power and a backup connection strongly advised for call reliability). A quiet space to take calls matters just as much. Employers typically provide the dialer, the CRM, and the scheduling tool (Calendly, HubSpot, or Acuity), so you rarely need to buy software yourself.
Profile review takes 1–2 days. Because voice roles hire on the strength of a screening call, appointment setters often move quickly, and most go from application to offer in under two weeks once you've passed the role-play. Some employers run a paid trial shift first so both sides can check the fit.
Base hourly plus a bonus per appointment is the usual shape, and your entire upside sits inside one phrase: qualified appointment. Pin down the test before you accept anything. The common tests are that the prospect attended, stayed a minimum number of minutes, matched a stated budget or company size, and was someone who can actually sign. Ask which of those apply, and ask who decides when a meeting sits on the line. Then ask whether a rescheduled meeting pays against the original booking or the new date, because that one detail can move a month by twenty percent either way.
On a high-volume campaign, 80–150 dials a day is standard, and most calls end quickly. Rejection is constant and impersonal. The setters who last treat it as a numbers rhythm rather than a verdict on them. Blocks of focused dialing, short breaks to protect your voice, and notes logged as you go make it sustainable.
