Teleservice
firm "uncovers" bold new recruiting plan
and gives "casual dress" a whole "new-d"
meaning!
A
Dutch teleservices firm is so strapped for workers
that the company has begun recruiting nudists to
staff its call center by promising they will be
allowed to work naked, the London-based wire service
Reuters reported last week.
Reuters
declined to name the company "for fear of offending
existing clients," though it said the firm
was based in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
In
one four-hour period, 75 Dutch naturists responded
to an ad in the Dutch daily newspaper De Telegraaf
calling for applications. The ad asked potential
hires, "Always wanted to work in the nude?"
The
teleservices firm said in a statement that because
call center agents have no face-to-face contact
with customers, it doesn't matter what they wear,
according to the report. A manager with the company
told Reuters that the firm planned to launch a separate
business unit dubbed "Au Nature Telesales"
for the call center.
Interviews
would be conducted fully clothed, Reuters reported.
