Expert Global Solutions (EGS), the world’s largest privately owned business process outsourcing (BPO), is opening a new contact center in Davao City, its first center outside Metro Manila.

EGS president and country head Rainerio Borja told stakeholders that its operation in Davao City is targeted to start by November this year.
The plan is to employ some 1,500 to 1,700 employees in Davao in its initial stage of operations.
“Aside from the given economic growth in Davao, we also thought that there is a big talent pool here that we can tap in our operations. Also the city’s environment is very conducive in our kind of business, it very safe considering that we work at night,” Borja said.
