While several technological companies in the Aalborg-area have had to let people go or even close down completely, things looks different for the it company TARGIT.

New numbers show that TARGIT is one of the companies that experiences growth in spite of the financial crisis. In fact, January showed a 16 percent increase in sales compared to the same month in 2008. When looking back at the entire past year, TARGIT came out of it with a growing account. In addition, the total staff in the organization expanded with 12 new employees during all of last year.

The growth in the company means that there is a need for more hands and this need will increase. Therefore, TARGIT has a booth at the career fair Feb 24 in Gigantium in Aalborg, Denmark.

"We want to meet skilled students, who can become skilled employees. In spite of a global financial crisis, our business is in a continued healthy condition. In the US, where everyone is hard hit by the crisis, TARGIT has experienced the largest increase. Compared to 2007, revenue has proliferated with 81 percent in the struggling country from September through December last year", says Jesper Berntson, Head of HR at TARGIT.

TARGIT looks positive in 2009 and it seems that the crisis may even show beneficial for TARGIT and its affiliates. "This has to do with our business intelligence software, which provides companies with an overview of their data, i.e. data about their financial situation. Such an overview is always useful, and very important in times like these", says Morten Sandlykke, CEO at TARGIT.

In addition to the participation at the career fair, TARGIT is also looking for qualified manpower on the web by posting job openings on their own website among other initiatives.
