The Jerusalem offices of communications giant IDT Global
launched a campaign to hire a minimum of 200 permanent new
workers in the coming weeks to join the 850 employees already
working at the company at that location.
IDT Global also recently embarked on a program to further
improve conditions at its brand new state-of-the-art center
in Jerusalem's Har Hotzvim Technology Park, overlooking the
Begin Expressway. The new building contains a semi-Olympic
size swimming pool, fitness center with personal trainer,
eating facilities and ample parking, all open for free use by
employees. All these facilities have separate hours for men
and women. There are no mixed hours. There is also a daily
daf yomi shiur on premises, and many different
minyanim. There are separate men's and women's areas
in the workplace itself. The company is offering a minimum
salary of NIS 7,000 per month for many new jobs, in addition
to regular bonuses, incentives and commissions.
"There are many, many highly skilled English speakers out
there, and we are going to find them and bring them into
IDT," commented Judy Lowy, IDT Director of Recruitment. "Top
facilities and competitive salaries are complemented by our
commitment to place people on long term career paths,
allowing them to perform and progress in our company. We
believe this will not be the last time that IDT increases its
work force by 15 percent in one month!"
IDT has initiated a series of recent initiatives to spur
employment. Daily paid-for-transport from Beer Sheva and
Dimona has boosted the number of employees coming from the
country's south, while helping to fight unemployment in that
area. At the same time, a weekly recruitment event, held at
the company's Jerusalem offices every Tuesday at 1:00 p.m.,
regularly attracts 50 or more potential employees. Other
projects include free seminars open to the general public and
a campaign to help unemployed former residents of Gush
Katif.
For the January hiring, IDT is looking for computer savvy,
intelligent people who speak English at mother-tongue level
and seek to build a career.
IDT's CEO, Janine Kutliroff stated, "IDT is not only a
commercial success. Our employees genuinely enjoy working in
a warm, friendly and familiar setting. Contrary to critics'
predictions, the company's special atmosphere, now an IDT
signature, contributes significantly to our productivity and
results." For more information call 02-541-2902.
