“Apple appears to be building a large, distributed helpdesk operation, either in anticipation of a major new product, or simply to sustain the company’s growing popularity,” Leander Kahney reports for Cult of Mac.
“Apple this summer is recruiting about 450 ‘At Home’ technical support staff in at least six cities across the U.S., according to a document seen by Cultofmac.com,” Kahney reports. “‘As a company who’s motto is ‘think different,’ our ‘work different’ philosophy offers you the opportunity to work independently in your home office,’ the job ads said. ‘You will receive all the wonderful benefits of working for an amazing company without ever leaving your home.'”
“Apple plans to recruit 150 At Home staff every month from July through September, in and around Orlando, Florida; Charlotte, North Carolina; Cincinnati, Ohio; and Orem, Utah; among other cities,” Kahney reports.
“Maggie Klenke, a partner at The Call Center School in Lebanon, Tennessee, said Apple is most likely extending its helpdesk operations because of the growing popularity of its products,” Kahney reports. “She said it might be possible that Apple is ramping up for a new iPhone – widely expected this summer — or another new product.”
