HRAnswerLink Is Growing!

HRAnswerLink has been in a solid growth mode for the last several years as we continue to expand both our HR product offerings and the number of clients who sell or use those products.

This month, we’re excited to announce the grand opening of a new office in downtown Portland, Oregon. Our new, 5,000-square-foot office is located on the seventh floor of the historic Morgan Building, in a corner suite custom-built for HRAnswerLink.

High-tech HR
Nathan Christensen, HRAnswerLink’s President and co-CEO, explains that the company planned its new office space with technology in mind. “We designed the suite to be a state-of-the-art HR and technology office, including a recording studio for trainings and webinars, consultation stations, and a technology team room,” says Christensen. “The office will also feature a number of spaces for collaboration, including formal conference rooms, informal team meeting spaces, a lounge, and an open kitchen.”

Christensen says several factors were behind the Portland office expansion. “Since opening our Portland office in 2012, we’ve been finding terrific HR and software engineering talent here. Portland is a perfect fit for us — it has a large, close-knit HR community and a large, close-knit community of Ruby on Rails developers, which is our platform,” he says. “It was time for an office that could accommodate that growth. It also gives us a laboratory to test our workforce and workplace optimization ideas.”
