– Accommodation will be provided along with other benefits
QUALFON Guyana is expected to hire approximately 100 persons from the Essequibo region to work at their Plaisance location in the coming weeks, according to Branding Coordinator Allison Boucher. The mobile recruiting team hosted a screening workshop on Friday at the Anna Regina Town Council.
Boucher during an interview said that the mobile recruiting team wants to offer Essequibians similar job opportunities as those persons living in the capital city of Georgetown.
To make the hiring process simpler, she said, Qualfon Guyana will be providing accommodation free of cost for those out-of-town employees. She said the accommodation will serve as a dormitory for workers and will have all the necessary amenities including water, electricity and internet.
She said the recruiting process is an ongoing one and persons from various remote areas throughout Guyana were being offered the same employment opportunities.
On a weekly basis, she mentioned, Qualfon Guyana usually hires close to 40 employees. Based on feedback and persons visiting, they would be hiring over 100 persons from the region.
“Our aim is to reach out to the remote areas. We understand that unemployment is a huge problem; as such we want to offer opportunities to persons” Boucher said. The persons would be hired as Customer Services Representatives and will be expected to undergo four weeks of training.
