cording to the statement.

TeleTech will start hiring by the end of March. Boulevard will open a recruitment center inside the mall for job applicants.

A customer service representative with TeleTech can make about $10 an hour, according to job recruitment website GlassDoor.

In its latest earnings statement, TeleTech posted a net income of $12.43 million for the third quarter of 2016, about the same for the same period in 2015.

The company’s net income for 2016 by the time it posted its third-quarter earnings was $36.88 million, a 23 percent decrease from the same period the year prior, according to documents TeleTech filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

In February, the mall received a construction permit for the call center. The permit details $245,000 worth of work adding walls and doors to create offices for Tele- Tech.

Boulevard Mall, built in 1968, has sought unusual tenants to make up for the trend of poor performance among traditional brick-and-mortar retail stores.

Its current owner, Sansone Cos., bought the mall in 2013 and remodeled it in 2015. In December, the mall opened SeaQuest Aquarium as an anchor tenant. Contact Wade Tyler Millward at wmillward@ reviewjournal.com or 702-383-4602. Follow @wademillward on Twitter.
