BPO Industry Hires 25% of Bagiuo's New Grads

The Philippine's summer capital now has another reason to smile. Aside from it's brisk tourism trade, a big portion of its new graduates were recently hired by the BPO sector.

"Only 2 to 3 percent of Manila's labor pool land jobs in business outsourcing firms, he said. But the BPO industry has been hiring 25 percent of Baguio's fresh graduates, he added."

In contrast to the pronouncement of an article posted in another site (read here), this column wishes to thank the foreign clients who entrusted some of their business processes to the Filipinos. As I have always maintained, the companies who outsourced properly, are bound to end with better productivity and emerge as a much better organizations. Furthermore, the offshore companies that benefited from outsourcing are called local heroes for having provided jobs. However, they should always be on their toes and stay competitive. Otherwise, the contracts might leave, faster than the rate the it came in.

As the new battlecry goes; "let's move towards KPO"
