Technical Integrity (http://technicalintegrity.com/)
We’ve created a better way to help employers and highly skilled technologists connect. It involves critical elements that so many people forget: a focus on a two-way cultural matching for both our clients and candidates, as well as engaging with and giving back to the community. This is part of our DNA, and as a result we’ve changed the way technical placements are done. We are highly selective and only work with the most interesting and well-respected startups and mid-size employers in Boulder, Denver, and around the nation. These are companies who treat their employees with respect, have fun, and understand that valued employees = happy employees . We also take pride in representing only the best Engineers and Executives. We emphasize quality, honesty, and integrity in everything we do. Over the past two years we have given back more than $20,000 to charities and non-profits in Boulder and beyond as we believe it’s the right thing to do. We are proud to be sponsoring Boulder Denver New Tech Meetup. Additionally, over the past few years we’ve helped our community bring together like-minded folks regularly at Ignite Boulder and BoulderBeta and various Women in Technology groups, to name a few. Please drop us a line to say hello and let us know how we can be of assistance to you or your organization.
