A new company opening in Belleville is slated to hire about 400-people by the end of this year.
At a city hall news conference today the call centre, Online Support or OLS, announced that it has located on Dundas Street east, and will begin hiring.
President Ross Beattie says the Belleville site was chosen because the Quinte area has the labour skills. Beattie says 70 people will be hired in about a month, 200 by September, and nearly 500 by the end of the year.
Mayor Neil Ellis calls it an economic boost to the city and Quinte region, with an economic spinoff of $20m.
The starting wage is $11 an hour. Anyone interested can apply at 610 Dundas Street East or go on line at www.joinols.com
Ya the ‘labour skills’ aka people with no skills and no jobs. Just what belleville needs, another place to work where the employees can barely scrape by with what they make.
WOW , big news , lol , another call center
Oh wow, more $11/ hr jobs for the Quinte region. Really helping people out there.
better than nothing! Cant be picky when it comes to work nowadays. take what you can get people!
Better than more Fast Food joints. There many people who enjoy working in the call center industry
Its alot better paying then welfare. There are an awful lot of people sitting home on welfare saying there are no jobs…Call centres have always paid my bills and supported my family.
more of the working poor.
why does kingston and cobourg get real industry jobs and all we get in quinte is poverty jobs.
eh joe ever work at a call centre? 3 strikes and your out from the way you dress to how long you are in bath room. or simply not logging something correctly.
the local mayors are to blame for lack of quality jobs in this area. quinte economic development also has failed. public sector jobs n the government are the high paying jobs supporting the working poor. this equals economic failure!
communism was not such a bad thing the government aptitude tested you. the government assigned you a job, the government set the wage for that job. it all worked out.
now we have companies earning billions and paying low wages.
11.00 an hour at call centre.
13 to drive a bus loaded with kids to school
or 10.75 to be a security guard who watches over a million in assets
or work in retail for minwage.
bus driver should earn 22 an hour minimum.
security 25 hour minimum
retail 13 hour minimum
and call centre 11
no more minimum wage across the board, minimum wage based on type of work.
fundamental changes need to be addressed. we need new leadership to secure Canada’s future as a place to live and not move away from.
most of the youth in this area choose to move away from.
There’s no shame in an honest days work that provides for you and your family. One cannot turn their noses up at work when they are being paid welfare.
(Comments removed.)
being in jail is better than being on welfare. at 700$ a month for a single adult. Prisoners get better.
if you ever called a community support group/organization telling them you are desperate for a job, first referral you get is to a call centre job.
100 people get hired to work at call centre. at end of training 45 are left. after 15 days of actually on the job, 20 people are left after one year, less than 5 from that 100 still work there.
These are not quality jobs or Quality employers.
$22/hr to drive a bus? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH!
John Q – do you have any education after high school? Your sense of entitlement kills me.
Why work when single women who keep having children are making more than us people working fulltime jobs. The more kids, the more free money they get for the bars & bingo halls..not fair for us fulltime workers who live paycheck to paycheck.
I have worked very successfully in several call centres and they have always treated me fairly. I firmly believe that any job is better than no job. Welcome to Belleville OLS.
