WorkForce Software creates 40 more jobs in Livonia

WorkForce Software is growing, adding dozens of jobs at its headquarters in Livonia as it extends the reach of its software around the world. The tech firm, which makes management software for large employers, has hired 100 people over the last year. It now has a staff of 380 employees and eight interns. The company's revenue is up 50 percent and its software is deployed in almost 1,000 locations around the world. "By year's end, we will be in 100 countries," says Kevin Choksi, co-founder & CEO of WorkForce Software. Livonia has been the beneficiary of most of those hires, taking in 40 new employees over the last year. It has also added six people to its new downtown Ann Arbor office. Those positions have been predominantly software engineers but have also included technical support and sales and marketing professionals. It also has between 30 and 40 open positions, ranging from software engineering to project management. "There is a wide range of people we are looking for," Choksi says. Driving this growth is the company's expansion overseas. It has done a lot of work in Australia and Europe. "It's part of a concerted effort to grow overseas," Choksi says. "It's hard work but there it a lot of potential."
