Dataspace to grow its 1099 workforce
Local companies aren’t just growing from hiring employees. Some are making moves by adding independent contractors (commonly called 1099 for their IRS code), such as Ann Arbor’s Dataspace.The downtown-based tech firm, founded in 1994, still has a staff of about 10 people. However, it has augmented its headcount by bringing on a couple of 1099 contractors over the last year. The firm expects to add another 2-5 independent contractors within the next year to help maintain its flexibility for new projects and revenue growth.”I don’t think 20 percent growth this year is out of the question,” says Ben Taub, CEO of Dataspace.Dataspace focuses on tabulating and interpretation of sales numbers and coming up with ways to take advantage of them. It’s also working on business intelligence consulting, which is sees as a growing sector in tight economic times.Source: Ben Taub, CEO of DataspaceWriter: Jon Zemke
