The US group Conduent, specialised in supplier relations information activities, has announced the creation of a new call-centre in Roubaix and published 200 position advertisements to seek for employees.
Conduent is already present in the South of France where it has located its headquarter (Guilherand-Granges, Ardèche) and a call-centre (Sophia-Antipolis, Alpes-Maritimes) opened in May 2016 with 200 employees. The hired employees will be in contact with customers by phone, email or chat. According to Nord Eclair, they will probably work for an important car manufacturer.
