SYRACUSE, N.Y. — A Rochester–based staffing and recruiting firm has opened a new office in the Pike Block building in downtown Syracuse.
The new space represents the firm’s next step in its entry into the Syracuse market. The company had opened a temporary working space in Common Space at 201 E. Jefferson St. back in the spring, Liz Broccoio, data analytics and marketing manager, tells CNYBJ in an email.
Besides Rochester and Syracuse, FTS says it also has a co-working space in Buffalo.
“Syracuse is one of our largest markets that we operate in nationwide,” Thomas Carpitella, CEO of FTS, said in a statement. “It is critical that we have a physical hub for our stakeholders to experience FTS to its fullest extent. We are confident we are in the perfect spot to accommodate, entertain and most importantly, strengthen connections with those we partner with in Syracuse. This move will also allow us to continuously invest back into the local community and build a strong relationship between FTS and the City of Syracuse.”
The new 2,974-square-foot office has an open floor plan with two conference rooms, an entertainment area, “state-of-the-art” technology, and an abundance of natural light.
The new Syracuse office will initially have five existing FTS employees, but the company plans to hire about three employees for the office over the next six months, Broccoio tells CNYBJ. FTS employs about 30 people, she adds.
“We developed the Pike Block to help invigorate the downtown Syracuse business community,” Meg Tidd, CEO of VIP Structures, said. “By helping FTS find their second home, located in the heart of the city, and then working with them to design a space that exemplifies their culture and enhances their practice is exactly why we took on the Pike Block project in the first place.”
VIP Structures “brought FTS’s vision to life” by creating a space that mimics the look and feel of its Rochester headquarters, the company said.
FTS has been providing staffing and recruiting services since 2011. FTS recruits in the technology, accounting and professional services, and construction sectors across New York and North America.
