We’re hiring. Purple squirrels please apply.

We’re hiring. This may not be news at InkHouse, where our continuous growth requires us to find smart, curious people who are creative and passionate and want to participate in a rapidly evolving industry. But it is news at a time when the national unemployment rate remains at 8.5 percent.

You’d think it would be easy to find qualified candidates in this economy. Yet what we do, and how we do it, requires a special kind of person. You might say we are looking for purple squirrels, a term used by employment recruiters to describe an unlikely job candidate with precisely the right education, experience, and qualifications that perfectly fit a job’s multifaceted requirements, perhaps even allowing a business to function with fewer workers.
