SILVER CITY — A new call center here expects to have hired 100 people by February and will employ more than 500 once the center is in full operation.
Teleperformance USA of Salt Lake City, one of the largest contact center outsourcers in the country, said its call center will provide customer services for telecommunications giant Sprint.
"We have already hired some managers,'' said Roy J. Prasad, vice president of human resources.
Hiring for customer service agents will begin in January.
Teleperformance will take over a building vacated when Stream International shut down its call center in July 2003 after less than three years in Silver City. That shutdown cost 770 jobs.
Teleperformance said a survey done in the past six months showed a large percentage of former Stream International employees indicated interest in a similar job.
