Imetris is spending more time dipping into the local talent pool to meet its hiring needs.
The IT firm has hired 14 people over the last year. Five of those are recent graduates from local colleges, including the University of Michigan. The Saline-based company hopes to help retain more talent graduating from Ann Arbor this year.
"Hiring more students coming from the University of Michigan looks promising," says Chandru Acharya, president of
Imetris.
Imetris currently has a staff of 110 employees and a couple of interns. One of its most recent hires was a former intern. It also has six open positions right now.
The 13-year-old firm provides a range of tech services, such as IT and data management. It has carved out a niche for itself, such as managing data storage area devices for large corporations. That has allowed the company to grow its revenue by 20 percent over the last year.
"We hope it will continue to grow at the same pace," says Chandru Acharya, president of Imetris.
