“Apple is looking for a ‘Technical Recruiter’ for Israel, the computer giant has announced on its website,” Natalie Groysman reports for Al-Monitor. “The recruiter will be responsible for engaging world-class candidates for Apple in Israel, according to the announcement. The job includes, among other things, locating, screening and interviewing candidates, as well as working closely with local [research and development] and human resources personnel.”
Groysman reports, “This is the first time Apple is openly seeking to recruit personnel in Israel, and the first clear indication of its intent to hire a significant number of employees there. Last month, it was reported that the company planned to set up a [research and] development center in Haifa, to be managed by veteran high-tech entrepreneur Aharon Aharon.”
“Apple has not yet announced the exact location of its new development center, but it is expected to be located in MATAM hi-tech park in southern Haifa, Israel. About two months ago, Apple acquired, for some $500 million, the Israeli start-up Anobit, developer of a unique chip technology designed to improve flash-memory storage in mobile digital devices, Tablets and Smartphones – a technology already used by Apple to enhance user experience with its products,” Groysman reports. “Apple’s future development center in Israel, which is expected to go into operation within weeks, joins the local centers of technology powerhouses Intel, Microsoft and IBM.”
