Connexions Loyalty, a subsidiary of Connecticut-based customer service company Affinion Group, purchased the assets of an existing Tulsa travel service center in January and hasn’t stopped hiring since.
The company said in a news release that its purchase of the existing infrastructure in east Tulsa allowed it to retain 50 existing jobs. It has added 100 jobs in the meantime, bringing the number of employees up to 150. Connexions Loyalty plans on adding another 200-plus to its call-center operations at Corporate Woods business park on 129th East Avenue.
Tulsa has become something of a call center hub due to a plentiful workforce and available telecommunications infrastructure. The metro area has about 16,000 people employed at call centers, according to data from the Tulsa Regional Chamber.
The jobs added will be travel consultant positions, which will help handle the travel rewards program for a credit card company, according to a news release.
“We are excited to join the Tulsa community. The consultants we retained are top producers, and they’re excited to be back to work, helping customers create their individual travel experiences,” said Kathy Austin, vice president of human resources. “Our goal is to substantially grow the customer service center by hiring more individuals in the Tulsa area with strong customer service experience; travel industry experience is a plus but is not required.”
Austin said Tulsa was attractive to the company because of the existing travel industry experience and the availability of potential employees.
The consultants will help book airline tickets, hotel accommodations and car rentals.

Is there a special section of a business news site that lists expansions at companies?
That would be great. Just wondering where you get such good and reliable info on a regular basis.
I search “create jobs” and “hiring” on Google and DailyJobFix.com
That’s pretty ingenious.
If one is searching for a job, it’s also a smart way to look.
If you’re searching for a job go to http://www.Indeed.com
I’ve heard about that one. I’m still living in the days of Monster.com :)
And I still remember that help wanteds in The NY Slimes being 50 pages under Reagan :)
The Connecticut based company is not hiring in Connecticut? I’m surprised!!
