An international company is looking to attract potential workers for a possible 500-employee call centre centre in Sarnia.
The Sarnia-Lambton Economic Partnership and HGS (Hinduja Global Solutions) Canada Inc. have announced a job fair will be held Oct. 29 and 30 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. both days at the Lambton Inn — 1457 London Rd.
The contact centre company plans to evaluate the local employment market as part of a site selection process, officials said, adding a Sarnia site could create hundreds of quality new jobs.
“HGS plan an initial creation of approximately 200 jobs, with the chance of further expansion within the year,” said Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley, noting a new call centre is welcome in the city.
“We have heard nothing but encouraging news about HGS Canada and we are delighted to have the opportunity to be part of their selection process,” he said.
The company began groundwork to expand into Ontario earlier this year, speaking with officials at a number of possible locations for the new site.
“The response we have received in the area so far has been very supportive,” said Ross Beattie, company president and CEO. “Our team is looking to meet many skilled people to help us in our selection process.”
Qualified applicants are being sought for a variety of positions. Customer support agents, supervisors, trainers, recruiters, HR, IT support, and site management are needed.
It’s hoped more than 1,500 applicants will submit resumes.
