IDT corporation grew through the development of pre-paid calling cards. Now bringing in almost $3 Billion in annual revenue, IDT is the 4th largest telecommunications company in the United States.

Howard Jonas, the founder of IDT, had a dream to find work from the worldwide talent pool. Howards vision of charitable work as an employment agency transformed into a 1000-employee telecommunication company. In 2002, 20-25 IDT employees were supplying customer service for 3rd party calling card distributors.

Mostly compared to India, other calling centers do not have the opportunity to connect culturly with their customers. IDT doesn't view themselves as competition with Inida, but more as a niche. IDT has developed a technology to detect a heart attack over the phone. These types of specific skills require's someone with a medical background even just to market the product.

75% of the people working at their call center have a university degree. Why settle for a call-center job even if you're overqualifed? IDT promotes from within.
