CallForce runs contact centre operations focused on customer service and sales for clients in South Africa and overseas markets including the UK, US, Australia and parts of Asia. The work centres on voice calls, with a mix of inbound support and outbound sales campaigns, often for telecommunications and similar service companies.

It employs more than 2,000 people across its South African sites and positions itself as a large-scale provider rather than a boutique operator. The company maintains delivery centres in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban.

These locations give it access to different labour markets and allow some movement for staff between cities when openings arise. Most activity stays within these three hubs, with no indication of significant operations in smaller towns or rural areas.

Day-to-day work revolves around high-volume call handling and meeting daily or weekly targets. New staff usually enter through learnership programmes that include paid training, which helps people without prior BPO experience join the sector.

International accounts mean many shifts fall outside standard office hours, and the large number of new intakes each year can result in uneven access to individual coaching or clear promotion paths. Staff who perform consistently on metrics tend to stay longer, while others move on after short periods when targets prove difficult to sustain.

The roles suit younger applicants or those new to the industry who can commit to shift patterns and accept commission-based pay on top of a basic salary. Hiring typically starts with walk-in assessments or online applications, followed by voice tests and background checks.

Candidates with existing outbound sales experience, especially on UK accounts, may skip some training steps, but most positions require matric and clear English communication. The process moves quickly when volumes are high, though feedback on individual applications can be limited.

2.6 / 5

Before applying to CallForce, candidates should note the company operates from Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban with entry requirements limited to Matric, clear English, reliability and a customer-first attitude. Public sources indicate a salary range of R6,500–R17,000 per month plus commission, and training is listed among the details provided. Evidence on role and location fit shows the strongest alignment for Johannesburg and Gauteng-based applicants who already hold Matric and seek a South African BPO handling international accounts. The supplied details highlight structured training as a feature, while Glassdoor reviews covering 77 submissions report a 2.6 overall score with only 23 percent of respondents willing to recommend the company to a friend and an 18 percent positive business outlook. HelloPeter customer reviews, which total nine in the most recent period and carry a 2.2 TrustIndex, focus on sales practices rather than internal operations. Trade-offs visible in the evidence include the wide salary band that depends on commission performance and the low recommendation rate on Glassdoor. Candidates may wish to ask directly about the proportion of international versus local accounts handled, how training time is structured and paid, and what current staff report regarding daily targets and team support. Reviews mention concerns over contract handling in customer interactions, which could affect roles involving sales elements. Johannesburg and Gauteng-based individuals holding Matric who prioritise a local BPO with international accounts and listed training may find the setting matches their immediate requirements, though outcomes vary by specific team and account.

Public-source research

A separate synthesis of inspectable public sources.

2.6 / 5

CallForce Direct operates in South Africa’s BPO and contact centre space, primarily handling outbound sales calls for clients such as MTN. Public ratings from current and former employees remain low across platforms. Glassdoor shows an overall score of 2.6 from 77 reviews, with only 23 percent recommending the company and 18 percent holding a positive business outlook. Work-life balance scores 2.0, senior management 2.3, and culture and values 2.4. Indeed reports a 2.9 rating from 42 reviews, with pay and benefits at 2.2 and job security and advancement also at 2.2. Management sits at 2.7 and culture at 3.0. Employee comments on Indeed note an inclusive work environment and supportive atmosphere as relative strengths, yet these sit alongside the low category scores. No detailed accounts of shift patterns, base pay, commission structures, or internal progression appear in the available reviews. Glassdoor similarly provides only aggregate ratings without repeated specific descriptions of daily operations or training. HelloPeter listings for the same company focus on customer complaints rather than employee experience. Multiple reviews describe aggressive or misleading sales tactics, including one case where a caller was allegedly sold a two-year MTN contract presented as month-to-month, with the company later unable to supply the recording. These entries do not address working conditions but indicate the nature of the outbound campaigns agents would handle. Taken together, the evidence shows consistently below-average scores on pay, balance, and management, with limited positive notes confined to inclusivity. The data set remains modest in volume and lacks granular detail on day-to-day realities. Reconsider applying if stable pay, predictable hours, or clear advancement matter, given the low ratings in those areas. The limited evidence offers little reassurance on those fronts.
