Conectys launches in Poznan, aims to hire 100+ immediately

18/12/2018
 
Conectys, a leader in multilingual and multicultural outsourcing services, after conducting extensive market research, has chosen Poznan for the diversity of its talent pool, education level and language skills diversity. Conectys starts its Polish operations with 50+ employees, and plans to reach over 100 employees by the end of 2018. This rapid expansion is projected to continue into 2019.

“We’re very pleased with our early experience in Poznan,” says Conectys’ CEO Arnold Cobbaert. “We’ve had our sights on this location for a while.”

The site in Poznan, Poland was also selected because of its direct connection to international airports and mature telecom and real estate infrastructure. Additionally, it ranks sixth in the business services landscape in Poland and has 1.4 million residents that are well-educated and high caliber. This growth continues the progression of Conectys’ fast-paced global expansions.

Conectys is aggressively hiring now. The company is actively recruiting team members who are fluent in Polish, English, German and/or Russian for content moderation and customer support roles, as well as multiple mid and senior level management positions.

Conectys has facilities in the U.S., Belgium, Romania, Taiwan, Turkey, Poland, and the Philippines. Conectys was also awarded Best BPO firm of the Year 2016 and 2014 at the CEE Business Services Awards and has been ranked a Top 10 Global Multilingual Outsourcing Vendor by leading analysts.
