"In April we said we planned to hire 700 positions over the next 6 months.  We did that.  In fact, the talent and performance of our team allowed us to exceed the hiring plan by over 25% across virtually all sites and programs due to increased demand for more business from our clients. Excellent employee retention and strong performance are allowing us to build on that foundation of strength with our clients and we're growing again.  From now through end of year, we expect to hire an additional 700 employees", said Jason A.C. Brown, Senior Director of Operations for Convergys in Latin America.

Convergys arrived in Costa Rica in 2009, and has since grown to over 2000 employees working from 3 different sites, for a total of 10 clients. Its diverse workforce includes men and women of all ages; people looking for their first job, professionals seeking further development and qualified senior citizens and retirees looking for a second career opportunity.

"We are hiring every day", Brown said. "Our goal is for every employee to become a key point of differentiation and a competitive advantage for the company. They are our greatest resource and by emphasizing talent development, we are able to help them develop their skills, move into different roles within the company, and promote Costa Rica as a good destination for business," Brown added.
