Sykes Opens Third Call Center in Costa Rica

The location chosen was Hatillo, south of San Jose, a place with favorable cost conditions. The initial number of employees is 300 people, reported Nacion.com.

"The biggest risk we face is hiring the 700 people we have projected having at this site, but we are confident we will be able to do it. Furthermore, the other sites are full to capacity and there is opportunity to grow here", Chuck Sykes, president of Sykes Enterprises Incorporated, told Nacion.com .

The firm, originally from Florida, has two centers in San Jose, one in Global Park (which has two buildings) and one in Moravia, in the former premises of Sony.
