IT in the D resident ‘Sales Guy’ Bob Waltenspiel adds, “What started as a couple guys and a bar stool has turned into something bigger than us all. Roughly 1,600+ people have found jobs through our events. Just simply acknowledging that job fairs are awful and doing something about has really had a positive impact to the local IT community in Metro Detroit. We refuse kickbacks from all of our recruiters and relish in the fact that this is still grass roots.”
IT in the D’s David “The Geek” Phillips adds, “We are very excited to have a number of sponsors present at the event. The event will also feature other great, local recruiting agencies such as Arrow Strategies, W3r, and STG, and training opportunities and information from New Horizons.”
