The
Chief Commercial Officer at Etisalat Nigeria, Mr. Wael Ammar said ITRealms that
this is a chance for dexterous youths to join Etisalat’s workforce by demonstrating
sound knowledge of devices and passion for customer service.
He
said that this is a cool recruitment process, which shows that everything about
this recruitment process would be driven by social media.
He
explained that first of all, interested youths must have to be a university
graduate or have an equivalent degree to stand a chance to showcase the
‘Geek-in-side’ and become an Etisalat Geek.
“If
you meet this first condition, then you must submit an online application and a
two minute YouTube video which will be assessed to arrive at a long-list of the
top 30,” he said.
Mr.
Ammar also said that from the top 30, the figure would be pruned to 20 through
an online voting process.
According
to him, the top 20 would be a part of a panel interview where 10 of them will
be shortlisted.
“The
top 10 candidates would be housed in an exquisite location in Lagos, and will
each receive weekly allowances. They will be given weekly tasks or assignments
which will be posted online and voted on by the Etisalat subscriber base and
one candidate will be eliminated each week.
“The
‘last five standing’ will win a one year internship with the telecommunications
giant,” he explained.
In
addition, he said, each contestant would be required to demonstrate exceptional
understanding of the working and application of the most common
telecommunication devices available in the Nigerian market.
“The
successful candidates would be required to help solve customers’ communication
challenges,” he said.
The
Interns that emerge from this contest will get a great opportunity to learn
about the brand’s values as well as bring their own passion for technology to work
on some great projects.
They
would embark on an exciting journey through five departments of the
telecommunications company and work in cross-functional teams as well as have
executive mentors.
“Etisalat
is out with this innovative customer engagement initiative to build strong
bonds with customers and offer people the chance of pursuing a rewarding career
along the area of their personal passion,” Ammar said.
Equally
speaking, the Director, Retail Sales at Etisalat Nigeria, Mr. Charles Ogunwuyi,
noted that this initiative re-enforces Etisalat’s position as the most customer
centric and most innovative telecommunications company in Nigeria.
“The
initiative allows us to co-create with our teeming subscriber base as well as
supports one of our core corporate values of – “growing people” he said.
