CALL centre specialist Webhelp UK has announced plans to create about 190 new jobs at sites across Scotland.
The company has its UK headquarters in Larbert and already employs thousands of people across Scotland.
The new recruitment drive comes on top of the 80 jobs announced for the Falkirk site last month and the 14 new positions in Rothesay created earlier this month.
Between now and the end of the year Webhelp is looking to recruit 86 people to full-time positions in Glasgow, 40 in Kilmarnock, 45 in Greenock and 15 in Dunoon.
The firm says the demand is for customer service advisors and team leaders.
They say the recruitment requirement is down to a combination of increased business from existing contracts and new client wins.
Webhelp's customers have included the likes of Sky, EE, Vodafone, First Utility, Office Depot, Mobile by Sainsbury's and Plusnet.
Webhelp UK, which employs 6,000 people in total, is headed by Edinburgh-born former Marks & Spencer and Trinity Horne executive David Turner who said: “Scotland has a great reputation for customer service and that is because of the people; we are lucky to have some of the very best."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
