This expansion is expected to translate into 500 new local jobs, pushing the Medellin team to over 1,000 employees.
The expansion marks a remarkable turnaround for iQor, which emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy just two years ago. The company emphasizes its commitment to flexible hybrid work environments, offering both in-office and work-from-home opportunities for new hires.
A year ago, the company launched a mega contact center in Allentown, Pennsylvania, which solidified its US presence.
iQor provides a suite of back-office services, including customer care, tech support, cash applications and accounts receivable management.
Just three years ago, the company navigated a liquidity crisis, filing for bankruptcy protection under the weight of a US$1 billion debt burden. This prompted operational streamlining, including the closure of some delivery centers and workforce reduction. However, iQor’s resilience and strategic restructuring paid off, enabling a swift rebound.
Today, iQor boasts over 35,000 employees across nine countries, including Mexico, Panama, Trinidad, India, the Philippines and the US.
