Ryla to Host Job Fair to Fill an Additional 600 Full-Time Jobs
Less than two months after opening a customer support contact center in the Mobile, Ala. area, Ryla looks to more than double workforce
Weekly job fairs to fill these positions will be held every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday July 14–30, 2009 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Ryla’s Saraland facility.
The expansion comes on the heels of its recent grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony, where one of Ryla’s clients was so impressed with the facility and employee talent that they expedited their timeline to add more agents. “As a result, we are thrilled to announce we are aggressively looking to add an additional 600 employees from the local community, in line with our commitment of providing 1,200 jobs by 2011,” said Mark Wilson, founder, CEO and president of Ryla.
Wilson was quick to add, “I want to emphasize these are not telemarketing positions. We provide inbound and outbound customer service, tech support and other customer contact solutions for Fortune 500 and government clients.”
Ryla currently employs 550 full-time staff at its Saraland facility and 2,500 company-wide.
All the employees at Ryla’s Mobile area contact center provide customer service and support. The positions the company are looking to fill include:
- Assistant Directors
- Customer Service Representatives
- Help Desk Support
- Quality Assurance Coordinators
- Supervisors
Job applicants can attend any one of the weekly job fairs being held Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays beginning July 14 through the 30th from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Ryla’s Saraland facility on Highway 43 (previously the Hertz building).
Applicants should bring two forms of government-issued photo identification and a current resume, and wear business attire. Because of the large turnout expected, recruiters encourage job seekers to arrive early and to be patient.
“Companies like Ryla that fuel economic development and create new employment opportunities are vital to the future of our state,” said Alabama Gov. Bob Riley. “I commend Ryla on its growth, and we as a state will continue working with the company to ensure its presence in Alabama remains a success.”
As a testimony to the strength of the company’s current Alabama workforce, Ryla is launching an employee referral program to help recruit a highly qualified workforce. The company’s Saraland employees are eligible for a referral bonus of $100 for every person referred and hired.
“Quality employees want to work with others of the same high quality,” said Wilson. “That is why we created the referral bonus program. Striving to be the best job our employees have ever had, Ryla has built a positive work culture, and the best way to maintain our culture is to engage our employees in the recruitment process.”
Job seekers unable to attend the job fair can send their resume to mobile-recruiting@ryla.com for consideration. Future job fair information as well as job type descriptions can be viewed at http://www.ryla.com/Job_Opportunities.htm.
