HSBC UK Contact Centre Malta (HBEU), the largest contact centre on the island, participated in the annual career fair of Giovanni Curmi Higher Secondary School (GCHSS) to showcase the versatility of its workplace to potential new recruits.
Open to its students, their parents, and a number of employers, the week-long GCHSS career fair provided HBEU with the opportunity to meet with students and guide them professionally with the career options available at the Contact Centre, located in Swatar.
HBEU officials also presented a seminar to a group of GCHSS students, who learned ways to propel their ambition into a substantial career in the global banking industry.
HBEU HR and Recruitment Manager Fabianne Galea said: "At HBEU, we recognise that our most important asset is our team. As we are constantly increasing the number of employees as a result of our ongoing success, HBEU is looking for people with great enthusiasm to join our growing team - our family of 430 - that allows one to grow, build a career with us, and take them places."
The Centre provides a range of unique support services to employees. These include a concierge service, in-house gym, childcare subsidies, on-site medical health checks, discounted rates on home loans, life insurance and private healthcare, among other.
GCHSS Head Gaetano Calleja said: "In a rapidly evolving job market, GCHSS is committed to educating students for leadership positions. While GCHSS is playing an active role in the development of a 21st century knowledge-based economy, HBEU is contributing to the human development pillar of that goal. A partnership between the two, we believe, holds great promise."
Apart from having a good command of English and IT skills, there are no other specific qualifications for the role, as HSBC Contact Centre provides a full induction training programme in handling telephone banking over a three-month period for all successful candidates, during which time all participants will receive full pay.
