So I almost feel like I might jinx it by telling you this... but our company has not been noticeably hit by the recession. February was a record revenue month for us (in a month with only 28 days). We just signed a lease on a new office because we're busting at the seams. We had two new employees start last week and are planning to hire at least one more immediately, probably a few more this year.
We're not a giant company, so 2-3 jobs is obviously not going to do a lot for the economy, but we believe we can more than double our revenue in the 2009, perhaps even triple it. Also, 2008 was the best financial year I've had personally since 2000.
Also, we got a screaming deal on our office space and we had over 100 people apply for those two slots. In other words the recession is a great opportunity for us to attract fantastic talent, though I suppose that's cold comfort to the 98 people who didn't get the jobs.
Funny side note - our next door neighbor until very recently was Namaste Solar. When Obama came to Denver to sign the stimulus bill, the CEO of Namaste gave him a tour of some of the solar projects they've done in Denver. They moved out because they too grew too big for their space.
