Rapid Response Monitoring is holding a hiring event at the Destiny USA mall in Syracuse, N.Y. Rapid Response held a similar event about 12 months ago.
Christopher Denniston told Security Systems News that last year's event was “a very big success, so we're doing the same thing again this year.”
“We're working on expanding the Rapid team on both coasts,” Denniston said. The company is looking to have a similar event close to its Corona, Calif., facility, he said, but hasn't finalized the event yet.
Denniston talked about the company's goals for this event. “We're looking to fill over 70 positions immediately, and then once the expansion is completed, that'll bring that total to over 100,” Denniston said. The company is working on expanding its Syracuse headquarters from 40,000 to 75,000 square-feet this year.
“The 70 openings are primarily newly created positions, but some will fill roles vacated through internal career growth,” he said.
2015 was a good year for the company, Denniston said; Rapid Response “added some significant international business [last] year.”
How much international business did Rapid Response do previously? “We provided monitoring for a few dealers in the Caribbean on a smaller scale, but we've expanded that. … Today, we are monitoring for dealers in Bermuda and Cayman.”
