Iloilo City, August
12, 2019— iQor Iloilo (RMS Collect Philippines Inc.),
a fast-growing BPO company in Iloilo Business Park, is partnering with the
Public Employment Service Office (PESO) and the Department of Labor and
Employment (DOLE) in the implementation of JobStart, a
government-initiated program that aims to help unemployed youth in their job
search by enhancing their knowledge and skills acquired in formal education or
technical training.
According to DOLE’s
official website, JobStart is designed to increase the capacity of
PESO in providing full cycle employment facilitation services.
“Trainees shall
receive an allowance for the duration of life skills training and technical
skills training and shall undertake internship with establishments for a
maximum of three months with stipend not less than 75% of the prevailing
minimum wage in the locality,” the website also states.
Going full throttle
in 2019
iQor's move to
partner with PESO is inspired by its target to increase its population by more
than 50% in the coming months, opening thousands of career opportunities for
Ilonggo jobseekers, especially those without prior contact center
experience.
“Our
company is facing an unprecedented growth in 2019, and we need all
the support we can get from the local government to provide jobs to our
fellow Ilonggos,” says Roselle Lao, Director for
Recruitment at iQor Iloilo.
“The fact that
we’re acquiring more business is a testament to the quality of skill and talent
that the Iloilo working class has to offer, and we’re aiming to maximize that
through JobStart,” she added.
The BPO giant
currently occupies four office building in Iloilo Business Park. 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.
The company prides
itself in upholding certain standards of behavior, or ‘iQorian Values’ as
they call them, such as Integrity, Open Communication, Customer Dedication,
Respect, Innovation, Accountability and the Need to Give
Back.Presently, iQor Iloilo offers its Customer Service
Representatives the highest compensation and benefits package in the region.
