Montreal, Quebec (Gawkwire.com) iWeb (TSX.V - IWB), a global provider of Internet hosting services and IT infrastructure, is pleased to announce the arrival of Michel Thivierge as their new Director of Human Resources.
Having previously held various Human Resource management positions at Cirque du Soleil, Bell Canada, Dessau and MIL Davie, Mr. Thivierge joins iWeb, for whom the management of Human Resources is becoming increasingly important.
"iWeb has grown from 42 employees in 2006 to more than 130 employees today, and we have nearly 50 new positions to fill by the end of the year, "confirms Michel Thivierge, whose first weeks were devoted to developing a strategic plan for the management of Human Resources. "I am really proud to be joining iWeb at such an important moment in its evolution. The foundations are solid, the original team is still in place and the web hosting industry is experiencing tremendous growth. There's a lot of enthusiasm in the air, and I am convinced that many here, myself included, are aware that we are participating in a great adventure; we are a part of something special."
This sentiment is echoed by iWeb's President and CEO; "We are delighted to welcome Michel," said Eric Chouinard, who was recently named the FIQ Personality of the Month for October 2008. "He has tremendous expertise in HR Management, and complements our management team extremely well. "
One of the challenges facing the company is to continue its sustained growth while preserving its corporate identity and personality, "iWeb is growing rapidly, but we want to grow without compromising our values." added Martin Leclair, Co-Founder and President, Products and Technology.
In addition to seeking the right candidates to fill jobs typically associated to a Montreal technology company such as Programmer, Programmer-Analyst and Customer Service Representative, iWeb is also seeking Data Center Operators, a Financial Analyst, Assemblers, System Administrators, a Research and Development (R&D) Manager, a Director for Managed Services (Managed Hosting), as well as several others; iWeb expects to have most of these positions filled by Spring 2009.
