We think you’re going to love working from home with BIM Corp. Our BIM Corp At Home program is a great place to avoid the commute and work in a safe and comfortable environment – your own home! We do have a few steps and minimum requirements like passing our Initial Systems Assessment (fancy term for checking if “your computer set up is compatible with ours”). We’ll go through the steps together and you’ll be on your way to finding out how compatible your computer is with our systems in no time…and if we find that you’re not compatible at any time during the tech checks, we are here to help you find ways to become compatible with our system. There may be a chance that additional hardware is required after you go through these tech checks – if that’s the case, please do know that you’ll be responsible for obtaining the equipment.

Let's continue to set you up for success. Headsets are a big part of our workday here at BIM Corp. so we want to make sure that you’re either purchasing or acquiring a USB wired headset that works in Windows. Our goal is to make sure it works with our systems so we can support any troubleshooting that may come up - saving you time and money. Getting ready to acquire the headset? Please consider:
Just remember, we only provide support for wired USB headsets – if you choose to purchase a Bluetooth headset or non-supported device, you’re on your own when it comes to troubleshooting and the time you spend on troubleshooting isn’t something you’ll be compensated for.
