Looking for English Speaking Employees in DR
My question is, being an American company, would they understand "Fluent/Excellent English"?? Interesting that no Spanish requirement level was mentioned so they are obviously going to be concentrating on the Ex-Pat market & bugging US with loads of tele-marketing calls!! - Grahame.
Maybe they aren't going to bug the expats, maybe they are going to bug folks in the good ole US of A - $12K must be much much less than they would have to pay if they set up their call centre in the US. It could well be that they are doing what lots of UK companies are now doing with their call centres, except we move them all to Mumbai and employ graduates at a fraction of the cost.
not quite true
No, the wages are not lower than India. Standard wages in India for such a positions are about 1/3 of this offered wage. Time zone is a non issue since most of this work is simply adjusted for the time difference. Furthermore these people are generally better able to communicate with the North American market and recieve a great deal of additional training in slang.

currently not paying the above amount here! Web design programmers are getting about 500us per month. and call center employees here are getting around 66rd per hour. Time zone becomes a problem for communications within the contracting companies. We have hired about 200 people here in Santo Domingo, all english speaking, already current in US slang as most of them have either lived in the US or were born there.
He is giving an optimum amount due to commision sales. As I said we are more into coupon rebates etc. No sales.

Why La Romana??
Aren't other potential DR locations superior? Re: English speaking Ex Pats &/or English speaking Dominicans? Just curious?

I've changed the location of the call center.....
to Santo Domingo. Many more English speaking people there. The reason for La Romana was because I have family there. The reason for my company opening a call center in the DR is 1) to save money as we grow and 2) to be close to my family.
Additionally, the reason I am offering more than the standard wage for this type of work, is simply that I want devoted loyal employees, who know that their employer is not just paying the least that they can get away with.

DR telemarketing
The DR is ideal to outsource an english speaking telemarketing center. Not only are wages 20% of U.S. wages but there is a steady flow of American educated Dominicans deported back from New York every month. You just have to be careful not to hire the hardcore criminals.
