The first 130 employees will start to work from early November, but the management warned the public authorities that they will create only half of the total jobs initially announced if they encourage a competitor (Laser Contact) to open a call centre in the same area. Arvato explained that there is no possibility to find 800 peoples for the two call centre in the area of Angoulême.
