Looking for talent? Don’t forget the Vendor Alley Job Board

Lately I’ve noticed an uptick in hiring. Which is great! The Vendor Alley Job Board is a great resource to find the right person. One of my favorite things to hear at an industry event is someone telling me they heard about their new job on Vendor Alley.

It’s targeted, effective and inexpensive. And anyone who posts to the Job Board will also get a shout out on Vendor Alley.
