“We announced in May 2016 that we were going to add 500 new jobs, and we were thrilled that we were able to reach that nine months early,” he said. “That gives us a lot of confidence that we are a compelling employer. We look for people who like to pioneer and build. That attracts a certain type of job candidate, and we’ve been pretty successful at that.
