Royal Oak - Royal Oak's Vectorform doubles staff in 2 years

metromode, 7/30/2009

Vectorform started a hiring binge about two years ago, about doubling what became its worldwide staff.

The software-design firm had to shrink a bit late last year when the economy crashed, but it still employs 70 worldwide. About 25 people work from its Royal Oak headquarters, including about half a dozen interns and a few independent contractors.

"In the past two years, the company has expanded quite a bit," says Markus Sheldon, an account manager for Vectorform. "We're in a very good position to grow."

The firm hopes to grow another 10-15 percent within the next year, and is looking for talented developers, designers, and project managers. For more information on Vectorform's current openings, please visit careers.vectorform.com.

Vectorform specializes in Interactive design and development. Think web design and multi-touch hardware, such as the iPhone and Microsoft Surface. It recently debuted MeetMe, a new iPhone application, as part of a partnership between a number of local new economy entrepreneurs.

MeetMe specializes in finding the right place for two people to meet halfway between each other. It utilizes the likes of Yelp and Google maps to find an area halfway between two distant points to meet, and aids in the choice of a best place for that lunch/dinner/coffee meeting.
