Need a Job in Raleigh? Attend Piper Technologies' Open House on January 31st

    RALEIGH, NC, January 24, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With record numbers of people out of work across the Southeast and the nation, Piper Technologies is doing its part to reduce unemployment. Piper Technologies (http://www.pipertechnologies.com/) is a structured cabling and network services organization that designs and installs data, voice, Wi-Fi, and video cabling systems and conducts cabling rollouts for a variety of vertical markets, including the retail, financial, healthcare and security industries. Next week, Piper is hiring for a select number of open cabling/field tech positions using a unique "open house" interview format.

"Piper is a company built on strong ethics and a deep commitment to our clients as well as our employees. We have experienced a strong start to the new year and in anticipation of continued growth, we are preparing by hiring and training new technicians now," says Brian Snider, Piper's president and CEO. "We want to give something back to the area in which we have found success, and we hope that our current and prospective clients will reward us for this initiative by continuing to place their trust in us as a company and in the individuals who work for Piper throughout the region."

The company is hosting a unique open house and inviting job seekers to attend. Job seekers who believe they can fulfill the requirements for the position should first send their resume to [email protected]. Interested applicants are then invited to attend an open house at Piper Technologies' Raleigh headquarters on January 31, 2012, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

During the open house, applicants will be interviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. The company would prefer to hire people with the skill sets it is seeking, but the company's vice president, John Franse, says Piper is willing to train people who might not have the needed technical skills if they have other qualities the company considers valuable. "Cabling technicians can be taught the technical skills they need. What we consider most important in a candidate is dedication and a determination to do the job right, on time and on budget," he says.

The company will be hosting a unique one-day "open house" interview format and invites anyone seeking a job who believes they would be a good fit for the company to attend. Anyone attending the open house should email their resume in advance.

There are only a handful of open positions today, but Franse says the company will be adding new techs on an ongoing basis throughout the year as it closes new business with clients. "We wanted to do this a little differently, "Franse says. "We all know that companies hang onto resumes for possible future openings. But those resumes tend to be forgotten when the next position becomes available. With an open house format where each candidate receives a personal interview, we can determine which of those people we want to hire today or tomorrow and be ready to call on them immediately when we have a new position to fill. Those personal interviews make the difference in a candidate being remembered when a position opens up or just being a resume in the back of a filing cabinet in HR."

Cable technicians install various types of cable (i.e., twisted pair, coaxial, stranded cable, solid conductor low voltage cable, single and multi-mode fiber optic cable). The company is most interested in candidates who have experience running and terminating cable, punching down patch panels, and dressing racks as well as those with knowledge of network and POS equipment installation, configuration and testing. However, it is willing to train individuals who do not have these skills if they meet certain other, less technical requirements that include:

- Having a valid driver's license.
- Being a motivated, self-starter.
- Able to work with little supervision.
- Having a flexible schedule; willing to work all shifts.
- Able to travel out of the area for the duration of jobs.
- Have strong problem-solving and customer relations skills.
- Able to read/comprehend technical manuals.

The open positions pay between $10 and $16 per hour. The company asks that job seekers not call ahead of time. Simply email their resumes to [email protected] and then attend the open house on Tuesday, January 31st, at Piper's headquarters: 7424 ACC Blvd.; Suite 101; Raleigh, NC 27617.
