UST Global to hire 1000 techies in Manila

CHENNAI, INDIA: IT and BPO services provider UST Global today announced the opening of its new offshore development center in Manila. The center was inaugurated by Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, the President of the Republic of Philippines.

The new center is a state-of-the-art facility built to cater to its Global 2,000 clients in North America and Europe, said UST Global in a statement. The company seeks to hire around 1,000 IT professionals at the new center over the next 12 months and envisions the workforce growing to more than 5,000 IT professionals over the next few years, the release added.

In accordance with the California-based organization’s aggressive expansion plans across Asia, UST Global said there are plans for a considerable increase in the resource strength of the Manila center.

After announcing the opening of the new center, UST Global’s CEO Sajan Pillai stated that the company is also expanding in other parts of the world.

“In the past 10 years, UST Global has been working with some of the biggest names in world business. Through our new center in Manila, we have access to some of Asia’s most talented knowledge professionals for building on our Global Engagement Model. We are also expanding in other parts of the world, such as Latin America, with the same objective of tapping into these overlooked talent pools,” said Pillai.

While inaugurating the center, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo said Philippines needs to focus on three areas to develop IT in the country viz. connectivity infrastructure, policies and good business environment, and human resource development.

“We have half a million jobs created in the BPO space and it is our time to move to the next level of value-added services, that’s IT. We thank UST Global for investing in Philippines and providing opportunities for Filipino nationals both experienced as well as fresh graduates thereby increasing our competitiveness,” she said.

Joe Nalkara, president of UST Global, said the Philippines center would be a strategically significant geographical and business location for the growing Asian presence of UST Global.

“We zeroed in on the Philippines because of the highly skilled and refined work culture we’ve observed here. This is a perfect match with the style of functioning we follow elsewhere in our centers,” he added.
