Sales Hiring – Announced this week

Three major companies announced this week they will be hiring sales people in the US, adding a total of 2,900 new positions to fill this year.

Progressive plans to hire 1,100 new sales, service and claims people;  185 in Austin, 65 in Phoenix, 129 in Colorado Springs, 390 in Tampa and 337 in Cleveland.  “We’re constantly looking for ways to make it even easier for employees to grow and succeed,” said Katie Koch, recruiting director at Progressive. “At Progressive, employees enjoy the flexibility to balance the demands of home and work. By putting our people first, we attract the best and brightest people around.”

Siemens announced that the company will increase its pledge to the Joining Forces initiative by committing to hiring another 300 veterans in 2012.  “Siemens is in the enviable position of being at the forefront of job growth in this country and we have our choice of the best talent out there,” said Mike Panigel, Senior Vice President of Human Resources for Siemens Corporation. “We are extremely proud of our work with Joining Forces and this additional commitment reflects the fact that the technical training and advanced skills sets that veterans bring to the workforce are a perfect match for Siemens. Having these brave and talented men and women join our team will make our company stronger for years to come.”

Tibco Software announced plans to hire 500 people in the U.S. this year as the economy improves and Europe works out its debt crisis, Chief Executive Officer Vivek Ranadive said in an interview. “We are hiring quite rapidly now, all in sales and service,” Ranadive said at the World Economic Forum’s annual conference in Davos, Switzerland. “It’s a good time to hire.” Some big banks aren’t hiring, so there isn’t as much competition for workers from Wall Street, he said.
