Gov. Rick Scott announced Wednesday that an online job recruiting company will add 200 jobs and make $9 million in investments in Jacksonville.
“We are excited to welcome randrr to Jacksonville and celebrate the company’s creation of 200 new jobs,” Scott said. “randrr chose to establish its new offices in Florida over several other locations across the country, including Silicon Valley and New York, because of our talented workforce and focus on STEM education.”
The tech company already employs 15 Floridians and plans to add at least 50 of the 200 new hires by the end of 2016. Currently, the company is asking those interested in working for the company to send CEO Terry Terhark a message through their website or via text message.
“Our team at randrr is working very hard to create a platform that will change the way people and companies connect and we’re thrilled to be recognized today,” Terhark said. “I want to thank Gov. Rick Scott and Jacksonville leaders for their commitment to creating a world-class technology environment where companies like randrr can find the talent we need.”
Terhark, a former executive at payroll company ADP, said he founded randrr after his daughter had trouble finding a job after college. The company is developing a website and mobile app focusing on job seekers, rather than employers.
The deal with randrr was helped along by incentives money from state and local governments, though exact details on what the company will receive were not released.
