Description

Phone marketing company Walter-Telemedien wants to double its workforce in the German capital. Against the trend to offshoring call-centre activities to low wage countries, Walter wants to retain a strong base in German-speaking countries. Walter employs 4,500 people in Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
