Bozeman tech company Zoot Enterprises was hiring for 20 positions last week. Nearly all of them were at the software company’s Billings office.

“Billings has been one of our big expansion points,” said company president Tony Rosanova. “We’re leveraging that because of the cost of Bozeman. We’re hiring staff into Billings because the price of homes is lower.”

Despite offering child care for employees at the Bozeman office, and other amenities within the office, it isn’t enough to draw or retain talent with Bozeman’s housing pressures, Rosanova said.
