Blue Star, high performance network cybersecurity services, engineering and software solutions, announced that Alexa Watson has joined the company as Director of Employee Engagement. Watson’s role will include recruiting, hiring and onboarding new employees, with a focus on engineers with experience in software, systems and security engineering. Watson will also be working to ensure that, as the company grows, the core values that shape Blue Star’s corporate culture remain intact.
“What I love most about Blue Star is that it’s a small, authentic company,” said Watson. “Our team is unified by a common enthusiasm for technology and our engineers take great pride in the work product they deliver to our customers. The company prioritizes people over maximization of profit, and it shows! Annual retention rates higher than 90% indicate that a healthy bottom line isn’t the company’s only priority. Something far more meaningful is happening here!”
“We are excited to have Alexa join Blue Star,”” said Daniel Sherwell, CEO of Blue Star. “We are seeing a significant increase in customer demand and predicting substantial growth, which means we need to recruit at a higher level and faster pace than ever before. However, as we expand our team of technologists we need to ensure that we maintain our strong company culture. Alexa will help us take our recruiting to the next level while keeping employees engaged and energized.”
