Recruitment
In the Philippines call center industry,
qualified call center agents are becoming harder and harder
to come by and the task of recruiting personnel for
customer service and helpdesk/technical support outsourcing
requirements is becoming more difficult.
For the most part, this is due to competition with
several hundred call centers spread across the
Philippines. At Magellan Solutions,
we set ourselves apart not only by focusing on the
obvious compensation and benefits package, but by addressing
other equally important needs of employees, namely:
-
Management - A Reliable and trustworthy company
for call center employees to respect and grow with. An
Open management style that encourages people to speak up about their concerns.
-
Environment - A familial atmosphere that encourages open communication
among the people involved in customer services and takes care of them.
We pride ourselves by having co-employees that take care of each other.
-
Strategic location - Our center is situated in a densely populated
residential area in the center of San Juan City, one of the
municipalities of Metro Manila. The building is surrounded by
24hr restaurants and mini stores that are necessary to accommodate the
call center agents providing helpdesk and technical support services
who will be working on extended hours. It is a highly
accessible location, adequately served by all Metro Manila taxicab
operators and several major Metro Manila public transit routes.
Magellan’s
customer service employee recruitment efforts have included the
following specific methods:
-
Placing prominent advertisements in national and Metro Manila newspapers, on major Metro Manila radio stations and on its own Web site and elsewhere on the Web;
- Participating in job fairs sponsored by the government, major universities and other institutions in Metro Manila and elsewhere;
- Targeting and approaching candidates directly in limited circumstances;
- Placing job advertisements in online recruitment websites; and
- Utilizing the personal social networks of senior executives and middle management.
Magellan has deployed a rigorous selection process that has yielded only the best employees from the candidate pool. Our process implements a four-step, multilevel, employee screening process consisting of the following:
- Resume screening
- Guide Phone Interview
- Psychological, IQ and Communications skills exam
- Character probing final interview
