FALLing For Spigot, Inc.

This past weekend we welcomed the Autumn Solstice with open arms. What could possibly be better than the changing of seasons this time of year? It’s finally time to break out your favorite sweaters, boots, and indulge in everything pumpkin flavored. Although many are saddened as pools begin to close and flip flops are stored away, we at Spigot, Inc. are so happy at this changing of season. What could possibly be better than sweater weather, the changing of leaves, and crisp cool fall air ? There is a silver lining to the cold weather approaching. There are a plethora of so many fun fall activities we at Spigot, Inc. plan on indulging in this Fall. They include, but are not limited to: Johnson Farm Plants & Pumpkins (fall wouldn’t be fall without some much needed pumpkin picking!), watch our awesome, undefeated Kansas City Chiefs game as a team, head down to the first Friday this fall season, team bonding at Parlor, a new restaurant in East Crossroads that has been a huge success already and is all the buzz around KC. These are at the top of our list of things to do this season and we are so excited!

Spigot, Inc. Has An Office In The Fastest Growing City In The Midwest

When most people imagine a growing tech city, most think of cities located on one of the coasts. Midwest cities almost never come to mind. Until now.

Kansas City, the largest city in Missouri is only growing and expanding even more. A city once only recognized for mouth-watering BBQ, jazz, breath-taking fountains, and home to fierce football fans, is slowly being recognized in other areas. KC has been dubbed as one of the fastest growing cities in the Midwest. The growth Kansas City is experiencing is balanced and is spread out thoroughly making it ideal for relocation. In the past few years Kansas City has nabbed recognition for its tech and entrepreneur industries. Overall growth is contributing to the economic growth and technology growth and the relocation of tech companies to the humble Midwest city. Potential and hope are alive and well in Kansas City and in the hearts of residents. The lovely city of fountains has seen 157 percent growth in year-over-year listings for tech jobs and is only expected to keep growing and prospering. The city has also grown in population by 6.3 percent in the last seven years according to the census bureau. Our Spigot, Inc. Kansas City office is so lucky to be in the heart of all this growth and innovation in this amazing, colorful city. We can’t wait to see the changes and growth to come to the city as well as grow with it.

Finding Datasets Just Got A Whole Lot Easier Thanks To Google

Just last week, Google released a new type of search engine specifically designed around the idea of helping people find data. It’s named “Dataset Search” and essentially it provides easy access to millions of datasets across thousands of data repositories on the web. Dataset Search is currently for everyone to use with easy access. Google stated the benefits this new launch specifically has for journalists and data scientists “To enable easy access to this data, we launched Dataset Search, so that scientists, data journalists, data geeks, or anyone else can find the data required for their work and their stories, or simply to satisfy their intellectual curiosity.” According to Search Engine Journal, this new Google engine search is largely dependent on the scheema markup for dataset providers that was rolled out in July.

Dataset Search is available in multiple languages and works just like any other search engine. Just type in what you’re looking for and Google will return relevant datasets.

Spigot, Inc. is Located In One of the Fastest Growing City’s in the US!

They say location is key, and Spigot, Inc. is fortunate enough to be in a growing FL city! Fort Myers has always been known as a small sleepy town, but recently they have been given the title “One of the Fastest Growing City’s in the US.” With cheap housing, beautiful beaches, warm weather and palm trees – I’m sure you can see why! According to an article in Gulfshore Life, “The net migration rate grew at about 14 percent from 2012 to 2016.” There is a bunch of new construction in the Southwest FL area and new things to do are popping up everyday. Not only does Fort Myers offer a beautiful white sand beach with bars and restaurants in the sand, a popular downtown area, great schools and a few large town centers – Spigot, Inc. is located in driving distance from Naples, Marco Island, Sanibel Island and Captiva. If you’re feeling really adventurous – you can take an hour drive to Siesta Key or Sarasota. 

Making the decision to relocate can be tough, but the FL sun and Spigot, Inc.’s amazing perks should make the decision a little bit easier. If you are ready to get out of the cold weather and relocate to Southwest FL, Spigot inc. would love to speak with you! Send your resume to us at careers@spigot.com and be sure to follow us on LinkedIn, Twitter and Instagram… like us on Facebook and never miss out on the Spigot, Inc. lifestyle.
