The provider of technology-driven communications services also will be filling several staff and management positions.
A job fair continues from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday through Friday at the company's center at 3810 S. 103rd East Ave.
"With this business growth, we are thrilled to be adding talented job seekers to our team of professionals in Tulsa," said Christine Cranke, director of site operations for West Corp., in a written comment. "We are looking for individuals with a minimum of six months of work experience and strong customer services skills that are at least 18 years of age with a high school diploma."
On-site interviews will be conducted with the potential for qualified applicants to be offered employment at the completion of the interview, West Corp. officials said.
The new positions are a result of expansion by a West Corp. client, they said.
