The company will host open interviews for positions in marketing, customer service, social media, finance and technology, Biechman said. Applicants are asked to dress appropriately and bring a resume, she said.
Most of the positions available are full-time positions, and the company is looking for a mix of both entry-level and experienced applicants, Biechman said.
“It’s across the spectrum,” she said.

The downtown Springfield company focuses on online finance and investment services, but has said it plans to offer mobile phone services this spring. The job fair will take place in the former Credit Life Building, which has since been renamed EF Hutton Tower.
“We really wanted to focus on adding to head count so we can achieve some of our business plan goals,” said Chris Daniels, the company’s CEO.
The job fair will take place on the first floor of the building, Biechman said.
