Global business process outsourcing (BPO) provider Telus International said on Thursday it plans to hire 500 by the end of June in order to support the expansion of its operations in Romania.
Most new employees will work for services provided by Telus Romania to an online rental platform and Canadian mobile service provider Koodo Mobile, the company said in a press release.
The new employees will provide customer support in Canada, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Russia, England and the United States.
"Due to the huge business potential, Romania is one of the most important outsourcing areas in Europe. In 2019, more than 125,000 people work in over 265 businesses and startups in the outsourced business services industry," Telus International vicepresident Grеgoire Vigroux said.
In August 2017, Telus has acquired Romanian operations of customer services company Voxpro for an undisclosed sum.
Telus International is present in Romania since 2012 when it bought local peer CallPoint, the operator of a customer service centre in Bucharest. After Bucharest, Telus expanded in the southern city of Craiova and now has a total of 1,500 employees.
