Our History | mimox

History

We’re starting to have a very long history now… well, sort of.

Our company was established in 1999 to fill a large gap. Everyone was looking for IT professionals in Hungary and no recruitment agency really understood the needs of this industry and the needs of IT departments in any industry. There were these horrible abbreviations which all looked the same. There were these horrible geeks who all looked the same. IT salaries had began spiraling upwards, and absolute beginners became to ask for, and get more, than the sales manager… And there was this Internet thing, too, rapidly shaping, spreading, carrying away all the information that HR managers ever thought of as top secret. The IT workforce became either reckless, or non-existent. And that’s when we arrived.

Now instead of a boring account of what happened to us so far in which noone is really interested in, please checkout our visual, shiny and colorful resumé, as it is TRENDY nowadays. We really recommend this to everyone to try, as there are companies who appreciate candidates who are career-conscious and well-informed.

Obviously the history of a company was rather cumbersome to fit into the given structure meant to serve individuals, and then, perhaps the operators of the page will be mad at us – or maybe we have given them (or someone else) a good idea. 🙂 So click here for the original and interactive site, or click on the picture for a larger version.
