About Voltage
Voltage is a leading live-commerce company specializing in high-volume electronics sales through auction-based platforms.
As a top seller in the Electronics category on Whatnot and TikTok, Voltage has built a strong reputation for delivering engaging, fast-paced live-stream experiences and consistent sales performance.
We are seeking motivated, energetic live-stream hosts who are excited to join a rapidly growing company and help shape the future of online auctions.
This is not a passive hosting position. Successful hosts thrive under pressure, maintain a strong pace, connect with viewers, and consistently work toward measurable performance goals.
What we're looking for
You do not have to have previous on-camera or acting experience. We found that high energy individuals who have a strong fast-paced selling background perform best.
- Strong on-camera presence; you're comfortable being watched and can hold a room
- A sales instinct: you can make someone want something in under a minute
- Fast improvisation when the product, the chat, or the tech changes on you
- Honesty under pressure; urgency is the job, misleading people is not
- Coachability. This is the single biggest predictor of who succeeds here.
- Reliability. Shows run on a schedule and the studio can't cover a no-show.
- Availability for day, swing, or night shifts
During training, you will learn:
- Live-auction flow and pacing
- Product-presentation and sales techniques
- Audience engagement and chat control
- TikTok/Whatnot platform tools and stream operations
- Studio procedures and teamwork expectations
- Performance standards and key metrics
Candidates who demonstrate strong energy, adaptability, reliability, audience engagement, and sales ability may be offered a permanent position and become eligible for performance-based pay increases.
Compensation
- Starting pay: $30 per hour Tips (During 2-week training period)
- Long-term pay: $22/hr commission tips (this will be significantly higher than 30/hr for streamers who hit standard company metrics)
- Overtime opportunities
- Performance-based raises and advancement
- Medical benefits after 90 days full-time
If you get a rush out of closing sales, hate a slow day, and want your paycheck tied to how well you perform, apply. If you'd rather have a predictable, quiet shift, this isn't the one, and we'd rather you know that now.
Job Type: Full-time
Pay: From $30.00 per hour
Benefits:
- Employee discount
- Health insurance
- Paid time off
