If you needed another sign of the automotive market’s momentum — on top of growing new and used sales — hiring is on the upswing, as well.

Edmunds.com announced it will be hiring for 100 new positions in the coming weeks, in light of the company’s recent growth.

The news comes as the auto industry is set to notch an annual record for new-car sales in the U.S. Automakers have sold 14.5 million new vehicles in the U.S. over the first 10 months of the year, and Edmunds.com analysts predict this year’s new sales will go beyond the record 17.35 million new vehicles sold in 2000.

"This year is shaping up to be Edmunds' most successful year yet, and as a profitable, family-owned company, we're exceptionally proud of how far we've come to establish ourselves as the indispensable resource for both car buyers and sellers," said Edmunds.com chief executive officer Avi Steinlauf. "But we know that there's a lot more work to do. That's why we're doubling down on our efforts to bring Edmunds' products and services to more shoppers and dealers so that we can deliver even more simplicity to the car shopping experience."

Edmunds.com management said about 80 of the 100 job opening are within its “Tier 3” dealers sales department, which has doubled its network of dealer partners over the last three years. Edmunds currently works with 13,000 new and used dealer partners across the country, making up more than 3.5 million new- and used-car listings on Edmunds.com.
