LAOAG CITY—As two
multi-national business-process outsourcing companies here are expanding, the provincial
government’s Public Employment Services Office held special recruitment on March
22-24 at the Provincial Capitol.
According to PESO
officer-in-charge Ann Marie Lizette Bitancor-Atuan, the two BPO companies in
the province needed more employees to fill-in many in-demand positions such as
accounting assistant, BPO resource management group associate manager,
operational excellence senior analyst and many more.
Aside from the special
recruitment activity, the PESO also conducted career coaching for applicants to
know what to expect once the BPO companies employ them.
Three years ago, one of the
BPO companies started hiring and training people in Ilocos Norte including
graduating students and experienced professionals, to provide health and
finance administration for the company’s global clients
across Europe and North America.
From an initial 200 BPO
employees, it aims to hire 5,000 more workers as it expands its delivery center
in the Ilocos region.
In 2014, the Department of
Science and Technology awarded Metro Laoag for having the best IT-BPM
infrastructure and for becoming a part of the Next Wave City, a reference to
alternative IT-BPM destinations to Metro Manila and Metro Cebu.
This paved the way for the
entry of major BPO companies here as the Ilocos Norte government continue to
invite more investors and create stable, local jobs for Ilocanos.
