Firstsource Solutions (NSE:FSL, BSE:532809), a global provider of customized Business Process Management (BPM) services, is creating up to 450 jobs in the United Kingdom and the United States.

It includes 200 new jobs in the North East of England and 250 in a new centre in Eugene, Oregon where client representatives, management and quality assurance staff will support the telecommunications industry by providing web-chat services.

The 200 UK roles will be split evenly between Firstsource’s Fountain Court site in Middlesbrough and a second location in Sunderland, where the jobs are the result of the firm winning new work with a global telecommunications provider and a high-profile UK bank.

These roles include sales advisors for the telecoms company and customer service advisors for the banking client, providing online customer support with tools such as web chat and dealing with inbound and outbound telephone calls.

Firstsource Solutions UK HR officer Jennifer Conroy said: “Firstsource is delighted to be able to continue to bring new employment to the area at the same time as boosting the level of service we are able to provide to some of Britain’s best known companies. This follows on from a recent recruitment drive for around 40 jobs we held in Middlesbrough last December, where a whole new team is being created.

“This is a great opportunity to work for a multi-national organisation committed to providing excellent benefits, staff engagement, training and development and there could also be opportunities to move within the business.

“For the roles we are recruiting, while it is desirable to have contact sales centre experience, it is not essential, so they can appeal to people with a broad range of ages and skillsets. There is also attractive on-target earnings, a good bonus structure and benefits package available.”

A series of recruitment open days over a four week period in Middlesbrough and Sunderland start this week.  Potential candidates can submit a CV here or by emailing middlesbroughhr@firstsource.com

Regarding the American roles, Chris Autry, Site Director at Firstsource in the US, said: “We are very excited to be in Eugene and create great employment opportunities for such a large number of people in the region.  Eugene has the skilled workforce we need to expand our business and provide top-notch client service. This is an exciting time for both Firstsource and the region.”

Firstsource is now hiring managers and representatives at the new site in Eugene. To learn more about the US career opportunities and apply, job seekers should visit: https://www.firstsource.com/careers/
