Technology jobs are available in West Michigan, and Coopersville-based
IT Resource aims to fill at least one specialized position soon.
The company (701 W. Randall St.) provides IT engineering and consulting services to small- and mid-sized companies that either don't have an IT department and need one, or that have a small IT department and need a bigger one. IT Resource provides onsite and remote services to help clients build their own networking infrastructure with servers, voice over IP, data storage, disaster recovery planning and more.
"We're currently looking for a senior level
Cisco-certified voice over security engineer," says Carrie Borchers, director of sales. "We will be looking to add to our sales team as the business grows and we'll add engineers as our volume of work increases."
Business growth doesn't seem to be a problem.
"I joined the company four years ago and I was the tenth employee. Now we have 19," Borchers says. "Our sales were up 13 percent for 2011 over 2010, and 2010 was up 27 percent over 2009."
IT Resource recently hired an inside sales rep, which Borchers says is a new role within the company. The firm also recently added two senior account managers who will start next month. In the past six months, Borchers says they've also hired a helpdesk analyst and an IT engineer.
"I think new employees want to know they're in an organization that's going to be around a long time," Borchers says. "IT Resource has a track record of growth; where we're going to be three years from now is not where we are today -- we're not stagnant, we're always growing."
