S3 creates 53 new IT jobs in downtown Detroit

Strategic Staffing Solutions has established a new IT center in downtown Detroit, creating 53 new jobs immediately with a further promise of expanding employment to 150 by year's end.

"We have people who are starting in the facility every day," says Cynthia J Pasky, president and CEO of Strategic Staffing Solutions. "Our goal is to pass that number."

The Detroit Development Center is located in the Penobscot Building, which is also Strategic Staffing Solutions headquarters. It will handle IT work for Blue Cross Blue Shield in house in Detroit instead of offshoring that work.

"There is a tremendous amount of IT talent here that is available," Pasky says.

Strategic Staffing Solutions has existing commitments from two anchor customers to be serviced by the Detroit Development Center, putting the firm on track to achieve its four-year commitment to hire more than 400 IT specialists.
