GULF BREEZE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AppRiver, a leading provider of email messaging and Web security solutions, today announced it is opening a branch location in Austin, Texas, in order to tap into the area’s wealth of IT talent. The fast-growing 11-year-old company will open its doors on September 15 in the Austin Oaks Whitney Building, a space that offers room for rapid expansion. The company plans to begin recruiting new employees immediately, with a goal of hiring at least a dozen new team members by the end of the first year.
“Austin has a thriving tech community that’s loaded with super talented IT professionals who can help us grow and improve our suite of email and Web security services,” said AppRiver CEO Michael Murdoch. “AppRiver has established a reputation for highly effective and reliable services backed by phenomenal customer support. To sharpen our competitive edge, we need the best talent available and we think Austin is where we’ll find a lot of it.”
Murdoch noted that just last week Forbes magazine named Austin the No. 1 city in America for job growth, with several large companies announcing expansions there. According to Murdoch, that’s a testament to the area’s highly skilled workforce – and a prime incentive for attracting more of the world’s top tech professionals.
“A rich pool of talent attracts great companies,” he said. “And great companies attract more strong talent.”
