French BPO provider Webhelp is to open the sixth client relationship centre in Iasi creating 300 new jobs for French speakers. The recruitment process has already started and the official inauguration of the new Customer Care Centre will take place at the end of February.
Mihaela Rusu, CEO of Webhelp Romania, said “We chose Iasi because of its Francophone potential, while the culture and education levels are pretty high [...]. We rely on the fact that academics in Iasi will generate valuable future employees. Over 75 percent of Webhelp Romania employees are students and graduates”.
Webhelp has been operating in Romania for sixteen years and has 2,000 employees.
