At the event, candidates can meet Afni managers, take a compatibility assessment, interview and take a tour, the company said.

The company said sales and bilingual positions also are available at the company’s other local center, at 7810 E. Escalante Road.

Based in Bloomington, Ill., Afni is Southern Arizona’s 20th-largest employer, with more than 2,200 workers at its Tucson locations as of a year ago, the Star 200 survey shows.

In September, the company announced it was raising starting pay in Tucson to $11.25 per hour, from $10 perviously.

Afni says it represents major companies in the telecommunications, satellite and cable, and insurance industries, offering customer service, sales, technical support, insurance cost recovery and debt-collection services.
