MADISON, February 6, 2012 – Governor Walker today announced that Connecture, Inc. will focus its considerable growth in the state and relocate its national headquarters from Atlanta, GA to Waukesha, WI. Connecture Inc., the leader in sales automation software for the health insurance industry, will create over 100 high-paying professional technology jobs in Wisconsin, and is currently recruiting for nearly 25% of those jobs.
“We are excited that Connecture is bringing more high-paying jobs to Wisconsin,” Governor Walker said. “The additional announcement that they will be relocating their headquarters here is good news for continued job growth.”
“Connecture is focused on bringing highly skilled technology jobs to Wisconsin,” commented Dan Maynard, president of Connecture. “Our mission—providing access to health insurance for consumers and groups—has yielded significant sustainable growth, and the result is increased jobs and the development of leading-edge technology in southeastern Wisconsin. The 100-plus new jobs we will create in the state of Wisconsin are only the beginning; in fact, we are confident that we will achieve this hiring goal in 2012 alone.”
The agreement will provide Connecture with Jobs Tax Credits through the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation of up to $1,200,000 over a three year period. As part of the agreement, Connecture will create over 100 high-paying professional technology jobs within the state over a period of three years
The large increase in employees in Connecture’s Waukesha office will not only bring additional value to Connecture’s customer base, but it will also serve to boost the local economy in the Milwaukee region and further establish the area as a hub of technology development and innovation.
To begin filling these jobs, Connecture will hold a recruiting open house on Thursday, February 9th, 2012 at The Iron Horse Hotel, 500 W. Florida St., Milwaukee, WI from 5:30-8:30pm.
