Apple has revealed that it plans to hire 300 to 500 workers, in addition to 150 executive-level positions planned for its Mesa Command Center, reports Phoenix Business Journal. The additional hires will start as contract workers and most will be hired locally. Apple CFO Luca Maestri and other top executives told Mesa Mayor John Giles in Cupertino, California, last week the now firm plans for its East Valley facility are better news than the speculation earlier this year. The 1.2 million-square-foot Apple Mesa data center will be led by a small contingent of Apple executives moving to the Silicon Desert from Silicon Valley. The remaining executive, leadership and engineering staff will be hired from local talent.Mayor Giles said he was reminded by Apple that the first round of hiring in Austin totaled 150 people.Share Article:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Email,   Reddit,   Digg,   Delicious,   StumbleUponFollow iClarified:Facebook,   Twitter,   LinkedIn,   Google Plus,   Newsletter,   App Store,   YouTubeAdvertise Here
