What does a strong travel agent change?
Travel work is high-volume, systems-heavy and deadline-driven: quoting itineraries, holding fares, reissuing tickets, chasing suppliers and handling disruptions. It runs entirely inside GDS and supplier portals, which makes it a natural offshore seat — and an offshore consultant can cover the evening and overnight windows when airline schedule changes actually land.

Interviewing a travel agent.
Give them a disrupted multi-city itinerary
A cancelled leg mid-trip with a connecting supplier booking. Listen for fare rules, who they call first, what they offer the traveller, and how they document the change — not just "I would rebook them".
Work sample beats CV claims
Sprint Labs screens every travel agent on a short, realistic task drawn from the work you actually need done, then sends you the output alongside the CV. You see the standard before you spend an interview slot on it.
English and communication are scored
Written and spoken English is assessed and you get a voice recording before you interview, so you know how this person will land in a client call, a Slack thread or a handover note.
Add AI accent conversion for $1/hour per user.
If the role spends time on the phone, our AI accent conversion neutralises accent in real time so every call lands clearly with your customers — without losing the person behind the voice.
Real-time neutralisation
Accent is softened live on the call, with latency low enough that the conversation still feels natural.
Their voice, preserved
Tone, pace, warmth and intent stay theirs. It is your actual team member on the line, just easier to follow.
Your existing phone system
Layers over the softphone or dialler you already run. No porting, no new platform, nothing to retrain.

Questions about hiring an offshore travel agent.
How much does an offshore travel agent cost?
Roughly USD 800–1,200 per month all-in at mid-level and USD 1,300–1,800 for a senior consultant with strong GDS and ticketing depth.
Do they have real GDS experience?
Yes. We screen specifically on Amadeus, Sabre or Galileo — including ticketing, reissues and fare rules — rather than generic booking-site experience, and you see the assessment before you interview.
Do I need a local entity to hire a travel agent offshore?
No. Sprint Labs is the legal employer in-market. We contract the travel agent, run local-currency payroll, handle statutory benefits and compliance, and bill you one flat monthly seat cost in your own currency. You direct the work day-to-day exactly as you would an in-house hire.
How long does it take to hire a travel agent through Sprint Labs?
Most briefs produce a named, vetted shortlist within 5–10 business days. From there you interview, choose, and we handle the offer, contract and onboarding — typical brief-to-start is three to five weeks depending on the candidate's notice period.
What happens if the hire is not the right fit?
Tell us within the first 30 days and we replace them at our cost. After that, engagements carry a 60-day cancellation notice, which protects the employee and gives you time to hand over work — but if you want to swap rather than terminate, we run a replacement search in parallel at no additional recruitment cost.
