Contact centre considering Sarnia location The Sarnia-Lambton Economic Partnership can confirm that a Canadian contact centre is looking at the City of Sarnia as a potential location.
"This is a well respected Canadian company that is known for its excellent employer-employee relations," said Economic Partnership GM George Mallay.
"The company has narrowed its search to the City of Sarnia and one other community," noted Mallay. "We have a great available workforce here, and that will be key to the company's decision."
The as-yet-unnamed firm will be holding a job fair in the near future to gauge Sarnia-Lambton's interest. Interviews and resumes gathered at the job fair will be used to select the company's labour pool, should they choose Sarnia for their location.
"These are full time jobs covering all aspects of contact centre operations, including customer / technical support agents, supervisors, trainers, recruitment, HR, payroll, IT support and site management," said Mallay. "We encourage our local job seekers to show what we can offer here in Sarnia-Lambton!"
The Economic Partnership and its community partners will publicize the location and time of the job fair, along with information on the company, as soon as the date is confirmed.
