WorkForce Software has hired six people for its downtown Ann Arbor office over the last year, doubling the size of its staff and prompting it to look for bigger digs.
"We are at capacity there right now," says Kevin Choksi, co-founder & CEO of
WorkForce Software. "We're looking at expanding into more real-estate."
The Livonia-based tech firm specializes in management software for large employers. It opened an office in Ann Arbor a little more than a year ago so it could attract more software talent. The new office specialized only in software and has been a hit at the company ever since its opening, mainly because of its location in the center of the city.
"We wanted to give our employees the benefit of working downtown whether its access to the bus system or biking amenities," Choksi says. We want to give them the ability to go to the hot spots downtown. It's also easier to bring in interns downtown."
WorkForce Software has experienced significant growth overall in the last year, expanding its workforce to more than 300 people after making dozens of new hires. Driving this growth has been expansion of its sales by 50 percent, primarily through international business in places like Australia and Europe.
