Say Hello To Convergys Davao!

Say hello to Convergys Davao! is the caption of the photo (below) that was uploaded on Convergys Philippines' Facebook page on June 11 announcing CVG is coming to Davao and will start hiring on July 1, 2013 at Seda Abreeza Hotel.

Yes, that is right! Convergys, one of the biggest and leading business processing outsourcing (BPO) companies in the Philippines is about to start their new site and operations in Davao city. How did I know about it? I was just tagged in the image above when they uploaded it on Facebook plus some other users, which means they already have an idea that I currently live in the city below. I also follow CVG on Facebook by the way.

I have sent them inquiry to ask additional details about this new project and see if they can provide us other information such as the number of agents and posts they target for this site and some other requirements/qualifications they need for interested applicants have to have to be eligible for applications. And I have yet to receive a response from them. As soon as I have an answer from them, I will update this post right away.

Since we are still waiting for a reply from Convergys Philippines, I searched the internet regarding their Davao site to see if I could find some useful information for us especially for the Davaoenos who are interested in becoming a part of this leading BPO in the country.

Here's what I have found from a JobStreet page.

- Completed at least 2 years of college

- No problem in working in shifting schedules

- At least 18 years old

If you also bear good communications skills, knowledge of basic computer operations, excellent customer service orientation, good problem solving skills and good listening skills according to the page would be a plus. Convergys Davao is also looking for non-agent posts as per the job announcement.

This is also a good news for all current Convegys' employees who are originally from Davao and wanting to continue working for the call center company and be in their homeland in Davao at the same time as they can also request for lateral transfers from any CVG site to this site. I know they have that kind of program which is very nice to have.

Once Convergys Davao is fully operating here in Davao city, it will officially join other known BPO companies that are already here such as Concentrix, Sutherland, VXI and the most recent one which is Teleperformance that just came here last month.
