Bay Area Hiring Round-up: It Takes Hundreds to Make a Saleforce, Salesforce.com, That is
May 25th, 2011
Salesforce.com has over 300 posted positions with an estimated salary of $90K and above. Looks like they are feeling optimistic, they estimate revenue for 2012 at over $2.15 billion.
Here’s an additional round-up of hiring in Silicon Valley:
- They know the way to San Jose…Seattle based Networking company F5 is opening a California office space there – 54,000 square feet is room enough to accommodate plenty of employees. Here’s a list of openings.
- Turns out there are hundreds of people willing to sleep at a perfect stranger’s house – especially if they come with good recommendations. Tech Crunch reports that AIRBnB is hiring at a rate of 2-3 people per day.
- Groupon is hiring big in Palo Alto, so much so that they are putting up highway billboards on 101. You can see a list of jobs posted here; keep in mind that many companies hire multiple people under a common position title. And we see a need for lots of software engineers.
Interested in applying for any of these gigs? Here’s a tip—take their products for a test drive. Aside from Net5, all of these companies have services and products you could test drive as a customer. When you apply, tell them you are an avid fan of the product. Be ready with an answer of what you might change if you worked with them – most companies appreciate honest, educated feedback. Done well, it could increase your hireability.
