RE: Incoming 400-job call centre starts search for new home in Windsor

BY: Dave Battagello, September 27, 2014

So what. By the time I read the morning paper, this news was old news. There is nothing in this article I hadn’t already heard on the radio, seen on TV or read on the internet. If The Windsor Star has any hope of maintaining its paid subscriber base, it has got to give their readers more.

What kind of jobs are coming to Windsor? How many entry level positions and how many management opportunities are there? Is the job to make sales calls, conduct surveys, book appointments or provide support to those who call in? Will shift work be available?

What is going to make HGS Canada any different than Sutherland Global Services? Sutherland continually has openings at its Windsor call centre. If Windsorites won’t/can’t fill these jobs, who is HGS hoping will fill their vacancies?

HGS Canada has over 10 call centres already established in Canada. With a little effort, the answers to most of the above questions could be answered and are of far more interest to readers than a rehash of yesterday’s news.
