The company continues expansion and is set to hire more people, as it turnover increased by 30% in 2010, to EUR52 million.
“We are looking for young college graduates, who can speak foreign languages well, we are not only looking in Bucharest,” said Alexander Weigl, 42, managing director of HP GeBOC Romania. The net salary offered to employees of the center who speak two foreign languages exceeds 2,000 lei (over EUR475), according to market information.
Service centers have been some of the main employers since the start of the crisis because companies have had to outsource some of their operations in a bid to cut costs.
Weigl said the turnover of HP GeBOC went up 30% last year against 2009, without giving specific numbers. In 2009 the company reported a turnover of EUR40 million to the Finance Ministry, so last year’s turnover amounted to EUR52 million. At the beginning of each of the last two HP fiscal years (which start in October), representatives of GeBOC announced they would hire 600 new employees per year.
