Campfire Interactive, Inc., an Ann Arbor based software company has formed a partnership with Interactive Business Systems (IBS), an IT solutions and staffing company with a large existing footprint in the Midwest and throughout the globe. Although Campfire and IBS have been working together for the past few years on various hiring initiatives, the two companies have most recently launched a strategic partnership intended to quickly ramp up Campfire’s employee count, both within and outside of the U.S., as a way to support their growing U.S. and global customer base.

Campfire is looking to add programmers, business analysts, project managers and quality specialists to its talented and hard-working team. The need is based on Campfire recently securing several new large orders for its entire product suite. “It is a very exciting time at Campfire as these new customer implementations are in new verticals and will be our largest and most comprehensive to date,” says Pradeep Seneviratne, Campfire’s President and CEO. “It is great to be at the stage where companies are calling us to see the product suite we offer, rather than spending months trying to get in front of the right person at the right time.”

IBS brings to the partnership over 30 years of experience in IT staffing. They also have a strong off-shore presence that will be important to provide 24/7 support to Campfire’s customers who have users all over the world. IBS has been successful in bringing candidates to Campfire over the years, responding quickly with candidates who are well screened, match the requirements and are within the requested budget. Campfire is confident IBS will continue with this level of service, providing qualified IT consultants for Campfire’s most significant growth period in terms of human resources. “It’s been a pleasure working with Lori Harrison, Vice President of Operations, and the team at Campfire. Working together for the past couple of years and watching them grow has been exciting. I look forward to our continued partnership,” stated Kirk Sellke, Account Executive and Assistant Branch Manager of IBS’s Livonia office.
