Overflow Support

When workload outpaces capacity, Persona's overflow support absorbs the surge, whether it's a ticket spike, a growing backlog, or a busy stretch across your team. Your core team stays focused on priority work, with no long-term commitments.

When To Use It

Your team is at capacity but the work keeps coming: a backlog forming, response times slipping, or a busy week stretching into a busy month. Overflow support fits when you need extra hands fast and only for as long as the surge lasts.

What's Included

We screen candidates, match talent to your role, and help with onboarding. If you choose managed staffing, we also provide ongoing support throughout the engagement and handle applicable HR, payroll, and benefits administration.

Who It's For

Customer support teams facing ticket surges, operations teams clearing backlogs, and any function where workload spikes faster than headcount can react.

How Overflow Support Works

Step 1

Discovery

We start with a call to understand the work, the volume, your tools, and how quickly you need the team in place.

Step 2

Matching

You'll review a curated shortlist of candidates, each thoroughly vetted by our team and matched to your role.

Step 3

Kickoff

Meet your top candidates, choose your hire, and set a start date. We coordinate the details, so your new team member is ready to contribute from day one.

Step 4

Integration

Your overflow hire works through the surge. When volume drops, scale back down, or keep them on if the work stays.
