SimplyCast seeking new employees with $1 million rebate

SimplyCast's new five-year, $1,008,000 payroll rebate will be used to finance the company's next round of growth.

SimplyCast.com is a homegrown multi-channel marketing software provider and international exporter, offering a software-as-a-service platform that combines online, offline, mobile and social media tools with platforms like Twitter. This service is often referred to as multi channel campaign management (MCCM).

According to the world's leading information technology research and advisory company Gartner Inc., more companies are using an MCCM approach to campaigns because it's interactive, measurable and reaches a broader audience.

"SimplyCast is actively recruiting new graduates and we look forward to continue growing our team," said Saeed El-Darahali, president and CEO of SimplyCast. "Based on current trends, we are confident the industry demand will be there to support our growth."

SimplyCast exports its services to more than 175 countries and clients include Sony Entertainment, Maritime Travel, Holiday Inn, YMCA and CarShare Halifax Atlantic Ltd.

The $1,008,000 provincial rebate to support SimplyCast's growth is being done through Nova Scotia Business Inc. (NSBI), the province's business development agency. Under this agreement, the company's plan could see it create up to as many as 100 new jobs in sales, software development, system administration, marketing and client support over the next five years. It tops out at the $1,008,000 mark and is only payable as the jobs are created.

The payroll rebate has been the principle tool used to transition the province to a more globally focused, knowledge based economy. This shift has resulted in more competitive salaries in a broader range of fields.

“SimplyCast is a great example of a company creating good jobs for young Nova Scotians, innovating and competing successfully in international markets," says Economic Development Minister Percy Paris. "This company embodies the three pillars of our economic plan, jobsHere, and I applaud their future growth plans in our province."

"SimplyCast is part of a growing number of companies in Nova Scotia that are staying ahead of industry trends and creating in demand jobs," says Stephen Lund, president and CEO of NSBI. "These are forward looking, exciting opportunities that keep and attract young and innovative minds here."
