data entry clerks

Office typing staff

Data entry clerks are office workers who input information into computer systems or databases.

The work involves typing data from paper documents, forms, or other sources into digital formats—updating records, transcribing figures, verifying accuracy.

The company hired several data entry clerks to process the backlog of applications.

The role is often entry-level, requiring typing speed and attention to detail rather than specialized training.
