Brendon Derr’s Experience

Business Development // Recruiter

The BOSS Group

(Privately Held; Staffing and Recruiting industry)

October 2008 — Present (1 year 2 months)

"Business Developer by Day, Recruiter by Night" for our permanent placement division. I find the companies who need to hire top digital talent, and I find the top digital talent who they want to hire. I love what I do here, and admittedly I'm somewhat of a web junkie, so working with top employers and job seekers in this category is a lot of fun!
