You can see the influence of the new HR person in how they describe the traits they desire.  I really hope they aren't doing all this hiring without having a high degree of certainty around future prospects to support this larger employee base.  Either that or they are cutting elsewhere.

While we do not know the numbers, Paul did mention on a call recently that the US salesforce is now smaller. I would ot be surprised if they have 10 or more fewer sales people than they had previously. Now, that is also offset by additions to other marketing oriented staff but perhaps at a lower cost than a salesperson. I imagine they have a lot of turnover in their sales staff right  now
