Apple initiates hiring drive in Israel
Apple has posted listings around the Internet for a Technical Recruiter based in Israel, signifying that the company is kicking off a hiring drive in that country. The main goal of the individual in that position will be to get involved in "identifying, engaging and securing world-class candidates for Apple in Israel," and presumably growing the company's operations there. The position asks for quite a bit of recruiting experience, particularly in the engineering, hardware, and semiconductor industries, and will also need to deal with "hiring ramps of 20+ vacancies," which again means there's probably a significant team headed to Israel. This isn't the first we've heard of Apple trying to move into Israel, and CEO Tim Cook has said in the past that as well as Apple is doing here in the US and overseas in Europe, the biggest potential for growth is in developing tech nations like Israel and other countries in the Middle East. A move like this shows that Apple is not only taking advantage of its cash pile and status as a company right now, but also looking ahead to grow even bigger in the future.
Realtime Worlds seeking fresh blood for All Points Bulletin
Some of us here at Massively are excited about the upcoming wave of urban crime MMOs, especially All Points Bulletin from Realtime Worlds. While we haven't seen much in the way of actual gameplay, the degree of customization shown at GDC '08 as well as the video footage of APB's character creation shows some real promise.Realtime Worlds seems to be pulling out all the stops in getting the title ready for beta, and to that end has announced a number of career opportunities on their site. The jobs offered are varied, ranging from concept artists to programmers and database administrators. Check out the full listing and see if there's anything that fits your skillset. They're trying to fill 25 job titles, in addition to taking on multiple QA Testers. At the very least, it's good to see they're bringing in some fresh blood. This title is one we'll certainly be keeping an eye on in the months leading up to beta. How about you? Do you think All Points Bulletin has the potential to fill a new niche in MMO gaming?
