DIFFERENT WAYS TO WORK AT SYKES BOCHUM
Full-Time
A full-time work week is 40 hours divided into five days of eight hours each. However, split shifts give our employees the opportunity to divide these eight hours into several blocks. This allows you to, for example, work four hours in the morning and four in the evening.
Part-Time
Our part-time contracts are relatively flexible. You have the choice of working 20, 25, 30 or 35 hours a week. Of course, as a part-timer you also have the option of dividing your daily working hours into several blocks.
Student Jobs
A call centre job is an excellent part-time job for students. Thanks to late shifts or work on the weekends, you can concentrate fully on your studies while earning money on the side. You receive a monthly basic salary and additional bonuses, so you know exactly how much money you make in a month.
SYKESHOME GERMANY

Regardless of where you live, you can become a part of our team and serve the customers of our clients. Naturally, you will receive the same comprehensive training as your on-site colleagues.

Are you looking for an ideal work-life balance or would you like to spend more time with your family? Then SYKESHome is the right choice for you!
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to conduct surveys on the phone or attract new customers at SYKES Bochum?
SYKES works only with big and well-known brands. We only do serious business. Our employees provide commercial or technical support and answer incoming requests from our clients’ customers. The industry term for our services is ‘inbound support’.
