IT Resource has "never been out of growth mode," seeks 4 more technology engineers

IT Resource needs to fill four technology engineer positions at its Coopersville headquarters, and possibly more positions beyond that as the company looks to expand its Traverse City and Chicago operations.

IT Resource, 701 W. Randall St., provides IT onsite and remote 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.

"We need security and voice engineers, and virtualization and storage experts," says Gary Lutz, co-owner with Leo Reap. "These are full-time positions, and we will hire as many as the market will allow us. Immediately, we could use four more people. We are slow to hire because it's hard to find the individuals that have the technical capabilities as well as the customer service aspects."

Eighteen months ago, IT Resource decided to focus energies on sales strategies and building the sales team. Staff numbers remained in the low twenties, but Lutz says revenues grew 40 percent over the 2012 revenue, and now it's time to increase technology support to service the growing client base.

"We've never really been out of growth mode since we started in 2000," says Director of Sales Carrie Borchers. "But we're now looking to ramp it up even further. Companies are spending again, and they've been maintaining their IT teams, but now they need to upgrade and need trained people to take care of that."

Both Lutz and Borchers say that their Milwaukee and Chicago markets are steady. The Coopersville HQ services both markets, but as the Chicago market grows, the company aims to establish an office there as well as an office in Traverse City to service its growing client base there.
