City, September 4, 2019— iQor
Iloilo (RMS Collect Philippines Inc.), a fast-growing Business Process
Outsourcing (BPO) company in Iloilo Business Park, announced today its plan to
hire additional employees in the next four months in
anticipation of its major population expansion.
The company is
currently 3,300 strong here in Iloilo since its inception in 2016. The
employees are scattered across four sites, one of which was launched just last
week to accommodate the influx of new hires. The rapid expansion is brought about
by the success of their program acquisitions from two (2) in 2016 to six (6)
this year. Worldwide, iQor
is home to 45,000 employees, more than half of which are distributed among 14
sites here in the Philippines.
“We're very excited
about the sustained growth of our company, and now we're on a mission to make
our career opportunities more accessible to jobseekers by providing different
avenues for them to enter the BPO industry,” says Roselle Lao, Director for
Recruitment at iQor
Iloilo.
“Here in our city, we
see other call centers closing down or laying off employees, which is a sad
affair, so we’re very thankful to still be here, that we’re actually continuing
to grow in an unprecedented rate,” she added.
Tapping into the
mentality of the millennial jobseeker
One of the company’s
main focus right now is to attract young people
to venture into the call center world. Under its seasonal programs, iQor offers
short-term contracts to college students and fresh graduates for them to gain
enough experience and eventually step up the career ladder.
iQor takes on this challenge by partnering with local establishments
that would give the company more exposure among younger target markets.
Locally, iQor is known for its distinctive and quirky approach to
recruitment, from serving food to all applicants, themed parties, raffle promos
to holding speed hiring events across different venues in the city.
“Wooing
millennials can be quite a challenge,” says Jan Rae Aguilos,
Sourcing Manager at iQor Iloilo. “Call center veterans are usually attracted to monetary
incentives, good health insurance packages and career advancement
opportunities. Whereas, millennials have a slightly different frame of mind,
and we’re doing everything we can to reach out to them and speak their
language,” he added.
Plans
for the last stretch of 2019
iQor is
currently the highest-paying call center in Iloilo. They have already pegged
several recruitment activities for the next couple of months to fill the big
number of upcoming job vacancies.
