San Diego, CA (PRWEB) September 14, 2005 -- If an upside can be found to the
tragedies that recently befell the Gulf Coast in the aftermath of Hurricane
Katrina, it is that out of loss, there sometimes emerges opportunity. SMS.ac,
Inc. (www.sms.ac), the mobile data communications company that is
host to the largest community of mobile consumers in the world is coming to
Louisiana—to hire, that is. The Company today announced it is focusing
recruitment efforts in areas hardest hit by Katrina.
“As a result of the
hurricane, there are a lot of displaced and highly qualified professionals that
are now available for hire,” said Ken Smith, vice president of human capital at
SMS.ac. “Primarily, SMS.ac is seeking software engineers, project managers and
business development candidates.
“Upon hire, SMS.ac will provide
relocation assistance for new additions to the SMS.ac team from that region and
we will help them get situated in San Diego,” added Smith. “What these
individuals have endured is unimaginable for most of us. SMS.ac hopes that it
can do its part to put some lives back on track that were derailed by the worst
natural disaster the U.S. has ever known.”
Of the mostly Louisiana-based
organizations that SMS.ac is working with to locate qualified candidates, two
are located in New Orleans, the Louisiana Technology Council and the regional
chapter of Women in Technology International. Candidates interested in
interviewing with SMS.ac for engineering, project management and business
development positions should send their resumes and a cover letter to e-mail
protected from spam bots. Ken Smith asks that candidates reference “Katrina” in
the email subject line, to expedite response time.
Earlier this year,
industry standard FierceWireless called SMS.ac one of the top 15 emerging
wireless companies in the world, naming the Company to its “Fierce 15” list. And
market intelligence firm IDC calls SMS.ac one of the top emerging wireless
players to watch in 2005.
