“These new customer service representatives will provide customer care on behalf of a leading broadband communications company,” he said.
Job seekers can apply in-person at the call center, located in the former Elder-Beerman building at 150 High St., or online at www.startek.com/careers. Candidates must be at least 18-years-old and have a high school diploma. Applicants will also be asked to complete a skills assessment test, background check and drug screening as part of the hiring process, he said.
The full-time customer service jobs offer base pay starting at $10.25 an hour plus an opportunity to earn incentives up to additional $24,000 annually, Farmer said. Employees will also train and work 40 hours a week sometime between 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. seven days a week, he said.
Colorado-based StarTek, which provides business process outsourcing services, first opened in July the Hamilton call center in formerly vacant space. StarTek is expected to create nearly 700 jobs once it ramps up to full operations.
Current employment levels at the Hamilton facility have reached about 200 workers, Farmer said.
