Brightwinghttp://www.gobrightwing.com/ – was a sponsor of both of our recent Pink Slip Party events, the one back on 3/13/13 as well as the one on 9/19/13. Additionally, Russ Dotson has been a crucial part of our Support The Troops activities over the past few years, and was a guest on our very first installment of the IT in the D show. You can listen to that episode here – http://www.ITinTheD.com/listen/it-in-the-d-show-archives/episode-1-june-03-2013/, and then another when April and Elyse popped in over at http://www.ITinTheD.com/listen/it-in-the-d-show-archives/episode-8-august-5-2013/

They’re recruiting for a wide variety of positions currently, and you can check out all of the gigs they’re looking to fill out at http://www.gobrightwing.com/jobs/, or just hit http://www.gobrightwing.com/ to learn more about them and what they have going on. If you listened live, then you heard them talk about how important it is to them that they make sure they find the right fit for both their clients and their candidates, and based on everything we’ve seen and heard…we have no reason to doubt them at all.
