Zach Nordhof, owner of Zeeland-based
ZBx Technology (135 N. State St.), says he started doing a "computer gig" back in 2003 when he was still in high school. After graduating college, he became a corporate IT guy, but became disillusioned with how the company pushed its own solutions and products on clients instead of listening to the client's needs.
So Zach, now 24, launched ZBx in 2007. Now with two employees working at client locations and in the ZBx office, the company has plans to add three more positions to keep up with demand: web developer, IT consultant, and a search engine optimization expert.
ZBx Technology offers IT consulting, helps clients deploy new software and phone systems, analyzes the efficiency and abilities of systems already in place, cleans up computer viruses, offers hardware repair and replacement, and does web design and development.
The company also provides voice over Internet protocol phone systems with all the bells and whistles, and is one of three Michigan companies to have a 3cx certified engineer.
"We're looking for college grads or someone close to graduation who has a degree in computer networking or in graphic design/web development/programming," Nordhof says. "Our goal is to have a fun-loving person. We're very serious about taking care of our customers, but we do it in a fun way. It's a pretty laid back environment, an open environment with no walls, and usually some sort of music playing. Everybody takes turns with their music."
Nordhof says the interview process starts with a phone interview, then moves to a lunch gathering with all the staff, then they invite promising candidates back in to the office to spend time with the team and observe the work flow.
