50 tech jobs coming to downtown St. Petersburg

At least 50 high-tech jobs will be created in downtown St. Peterburg.

Inside Sales Solutions, which provides technology firms with sales consulting, training, recruitment and lead generation services, has established its national headquarters in St. Petersburg. The announcement of the new headquarters was accompanied with news that the company is projected to create 50 new jobs over the next two years.

“This is a conservative estimate though and we could be closer to 100 new jobs over this period,” says Aidan Snee, Principal at Inside Sales Solutions.

With offices in New York City and strong relationships with established brands such as HP and IBM, as well as next generation business-to-business technology companies, this announcement is a big win for the city of St. Petersburg.

So what was the draw to the area?

“As a service-based business, it's essential we're able to access the right people in the right environment,” Snee says. “They need to stay and grow with us as we grow and adapt to the rapidly changing tech industry we serve. We  looked at many different locations and did analytics on them all. The Tampa Bay region finished an easy first place in almost every category.”

The company considered locations in Austin, Atlanta and Kansas City before deciding that St. Petersburg was the best fit for their national headquarters.

The new positions being added at the national headquarters for Inside Sales Solutions in St. Petersburg are all IT sales and IT account management positions.
