The Hiring Group, a technical staffing and recruiting firm with clients located throughout the U.S., announced the promotion of Amy Shipman to account manager.

“Here in the Upstate and across the U.S., the IT and Engineering job market is more competitive than ever,” said Chris Yarrow, co-founder and managing partner. “To meet the market demand for technical talent and support the company’s growth, we saw an opportunity to promote within our organization, and we could not be prouder of the work Amy has done to earn the promotion to account manager."

Shipman will be responsible for helping drive the company’s business development efforts locally to expand The Hiring Group’s footprint across select industries. Prior to the new position, Shipman worked as a technical recruiter, recruiting and hiring key technical positions within the company’s client base.

"We’re excited that Amy has joined the account management team here at The Hiring Group,” said Brooks Israel, co-founder and managing partner. “For the past year, Amy has been a top contributor within the recruiting team. Leveraging her previous career experience in business-to-business account development along with the knowledge she has acquired on the recruiting side of the business, we believe Amy will be a driving force in building new client partnerships and expanding within our existing base.”
