Secure-24 growing, needs to hire 10 more immediately

Everyone knows IT is a big business but when Secure-24 boasts nearly a new hire a week for the last three months, well, that's just downright sick – as in amazing.

The Southfield-based IT firm currently has a staff of 74 and it's steadily growing, looking to add another 10 positions immediately.

The company says that unlike other businesses which would possibly move their headquarters out of state as they got bigger, Secure-24 has, well, secured (no pun intended) itself in Michigan and has stayed committed to recruiting talent from the area. How much talent? Well, they've been experiencing 100 percent or more year-to-year growth for each of the past seven years.

Secure-24 specializes in managed hosting, disaster recovery, and services for enterprise-level, business-critical applications, such as outsourced IT for companies unable to have their own in-house staff.

Their biggest sector is disaster recovery. Secure-24 holds on to data for companies in case of, you guessed it, a disaster. That can mean a power-outage, tornado or David Copperfield showing up to make the entire building - and all that data - disappear. Whatever the disaster, however, Secure-24 says they'll be there, with your data, available, 24 hours a day, seven-days-a-week.

The Edward Lowe Foundation recognized Secure-24 as one of the "Michigan 50 Companies to Watch" and Inc. Magazine ranked them No. 320 on its 2007 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S.

With there lighting growth the company says they expect to improve that number for 2008.
