100 aspirants

They had only less than a week to actively promote the Call Center Job Fair thru flyers, banners and even online.But the hiring team of NCO and the GSI staff can now say that the two day event is a resounding success.
Compared to other venues in Northern Luzon where the passing rate was sometimes 0% out of 170 applicants, this recent event held at the GlobalSkills Institute in Urdaneta City has produced 8 applicants invited by NCO for contract signing at the Clark office. The NCO team also reported that at least two dozen more applicant only missed a few points in the hiring process and would be glad to refer them for training with ther Global Skills Institute to hone and polish thier English Skills, especially on Accent training.
Because of the good turnout of applicants, both NCO and GlobalSkills Institute have agreed to make the career Fair a regular thing. Possibly once a month or once every two months.
The Philippines is closely trailing India in the IT and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry. Unfortunately, while the Philippines has been tagged as the third largest English speaking country in the world, the level of proficiency among Filipinos has been on a steep decline in the last 10 years. Call center recruiting has been meeting increasing challenges in finding qualified applicants as days go by. The good news is that the government as well as private entities have been exerting effort to reverse the downward trend.
It has been reported that the Call center industry is stated to boom into a 10-billion dollar industry in the Philippines by year 2010.
