It seems Transcom Bacolod will start operation earlier than previously planned. Instead of September 2009, Transcom Center Bacolod located at the Lopue’s South Square will start operation on August 1, 2009.
Full operation is expected by the end of the year with the hiring of 2,000 call center agents. Its facilities will be inaugurated in October in time for the Masskara. Bacolod is Transcom’s second site after it opened its facility in Pasig City last year.
The opening of several BPO companies in Bacolod offered good job opportunities for Bacoleños. These companies are even encouraging call agents from Bacolod employed in other cities to return to Bacolod. This way, they no longer need to work away from their families but still enjoy the perks of working in an international BPO company.
