Call centre firm cannot fill vacancies

A CORK-BASED company specialising in business process services has said that it cannot fill job vacancies because not enough people are applying to work there.

Speaking at a careers fair at Cork’s Clarion Hotel yesterday, SouthWestern chief executive Stephen Hegarty said that the company had a range of positions to fill but that they were not receiving enough CVs from interested jobseekers.

“We currently have 40 vacancies… and we are looking for people from entry level right up to network administrators. We are one of the biggest employers in West Cork but we are not getting enough CVs sent into us to fill the positions.
