Read through the most common questions from prospective Techies — then apply when you’re ready. No commitment required to explore.
TecHQ Services is an on-demand IT support platform built to connect experienced technology professionals with home users and small businesses who need help.
Customers reach out when they have a problem. Techies log in when they want to work. There are no long-term contracts on either side — it’s pure on-demand work.
Most companies have an IT department. But the people at home — and the small businesses that can’t afford a managed service provider — have no one to call when technology breaks.
TecHQ was built exclusively to fill that gap. We serve residential customers and small businesses who need fast, affordable, and trustworthy tech support without contracts or complexity.
TecHQ is not a managed service provider and not a staffing agency. Key differences:
You focus on one thing: solving customer tech problems clearly and efficiently. That’s it.
Our mission is to make reliable technology help accessible to millions of everyday people — while creating flexible, meaningful work for experienced IT professionals.
Techies who join early help shape how support is delivered at scale as we grow toward serving one million customers.
As a TecHQ Techie, your role is focused and clear:
You do not sell hardware, upsell services, or manage client accounts.
Common support categories include:
No. TecHQ is a pure support model. Your only job is to help the customer get back to normal as efficiently and professionally as possible. There are no sales targets, no commission structures, and no pressure to recommend products or services.
When you’re logged in and available, incoming support requests are matched to you based on availability and skill area. You’ll be notified of a new case and have the opportunity to accept it before the clock starts. Full details on case assignment will be provided during onboarding.
It happens — not every issue is resolvable remotely. If after a reasonable assessment you determine you cannot resolve the issue, you should:
Per our customer policy, customers are not charged for cases where no resolution was reached after a short investigation. Techie compensation guidelines for no-resolution cases will be outlined in your contractor agreement.
Extremely flexible. This is a self-directed, on-demand role:
You are fully in control of when and how much you work.
Yes — that’s exactly how many of our Techies use this opportunity. Because there are no minimum hours and no fixed schedule, you can take cases in the evenings, on weekends, or during any available window. TecHQ is designed to fit around your existing commitments.
Yes. After-hours and urgent support cases may be available and carry additional compensation. These cases are indicated in the platform and you can choose whether to accept them. After-hours work is entirely voluntary.
No minimum case commitment is required. We understand that life is unpredictable. You’re expected to be professional and responsive when you’re logged in and available, but there’s no penalty for weeks when you work less or take time off.
Techies earn compensation based on completed support cases. Full pay structure details, including your share of the per-minute billing rate, will be provided during the application and onboarding process.
We are committed to fair, transparent compensation. You will always know exactly what you’ve earned and when payment is processed.
Payment schedules and methods will be detailed in your independent contractor agreement. We aim for a regular, predictable payment cycle. If you have specific questions about compensation timing, raise them during your onboarding call.
Techies work as independent contractors (1099), not employees. This means:
This structure is what enables the flexibility that makes TecHQ valuable for working IT professionals.
Compensation for no-resolution cases will be outlined in your contractor agreement. Generally, time legitimately spent investigating and attempting to resolve a case is recognized even if a full resolution isn’t achieved. We do not expect Techies to absorb losses for issues outside their control.
We look for:
Certifications (CompTIA A+, Google IT Support, Microsoft, etc.) are a bonus but are not required. Real-world experience and communication skills matter most.
Yes. To deliver remote support professionally, you will need:
Specific software tools you’ll use will be communicated during onboarding. Most are free or browser-based.
Yes. All Techies are required to submit a government-issued ID and pass an identity verification process before being approved. Background checks may also be required depending on the types of support cases you handle.
This is to protect our customers and maintain the trust that makes TecHQ work.
Yes. Techies must be at least 18 years of age to join the TecHQ Techie network and enter into an independent contractor agreement.
No. Because support is delivered remotely, you can be based anywhere in the United States. All you need is a reliable internet connection. Some future onsite support opportunities may be location-specific, but remote support has no geographic restriction.
The application process is straightforward:
After submitting your application:
We’ll keep you informed at every step.
