Any Decent Tech Recruiters in RI?

Posted on July 30th, 2008, by Craig Jolicoeur

General Discussion

Are there any good tech recruiters in RI? I've been working with web startups in the Boston area for the past few years and would love to work in RI or southeastern MA, but I can't seem to find a single tech recruiter that does placement in RI.

Every single one is either a Boston or NY based recruiter firm. Are there simply no web jobs and startups in RI or are there simply no recruiters? I have a hard time believing its the former.

At PC, we have used Robert Half to help us fill some temporary positions at the beginning of the school year. I know they do all sorts of tech hiring. They might be worth looking at.

Craig,

I feel your pain! It seems like most job boards and recruiting firms focus on Boston or NY, but there's a thriving community of recruiters and - more importantly - job opportunities, here in RI. My company, Bridge Technical Solutions, specializes in placing people in contract and permanent IT jobs, predominately in and around RI. I'm sure we could help you with your search and give you a better idea of the lay of the land in terms of the market here. We have a bunch of different clients large and small. I'd be happy to help you with your job search - contact me if you have a moment and we can set up a time to meet.

-James
