EdgeLink Expands into Denver Market

Firm believes Denver presents tremendous growth opportunities in IT and technology innovation

Portland, OR (April 28, 2010)—EdgeLink, a boutique technology staffing firm, announced today its expansion into Denver, Colorado, to meet the growing demands of the technology marketplace and support essential IT and technology innovation, as well as research and development (R&D). Aaron Mills, a seasoned technology staffing veteran with 15 years experience in the Colorado marketplace, will kick-off EdgeLink’s new Denver office.

Mills’ career in the technology staffing space began with former Silicon Valley technology staffing firm leader Hall Kinion & Associates. Mills continued his career with KForce after their acquisition of Hall Kinion in 2004. His proven abilities to grow and develop new and existing offices will bode well as EdgeLink expands its footprint into the Denver market.

“Aaron brings EdgeLink great depth in his experiences in the technology staffing industry,” says Jeff Miller, Founder and Managing Director of EdgeLink. “I believe he has the right mix of industry expertise, marketplace knowledge, and the personable approach and sense about people that will help Denver-based companies move technology forward.”

Over the years, EdgeLink has solidified its niche as a boutique staffing firm, allowing them to focus on top-notch customer service and delivery of the highest-quality candidates. “I believe the timing for EdgeLink’s expansion in the Denver marketplace is perfect,” says Aaron Mills, senior technical recruiter, EdgeLink. “Having been in the industry since 1995, I’ve seen the transition in the Colorado R&D market and right now it’s booming. My commitment to the Denver marketplace is to demonstrate the value of EdgeLink’s quality approach, which is imperative during a time when companies need to be presented with only the best possible candidates for positions and not deluged with resumes that might not be a best-fit.”

“We’ve been in the Portland market for seven years. The Denver market seemed like a natural progression for our firm as we evaluate opportunities to expand,” says Miller. “While we are not on an aggressive growth plan, we are fully prepared when the right opportunity presents itself to service clients and leverage our demonstrated capabilities in the technology staffing space. We have proven ourselves as leaders in Portland and with Aaron on our team, we look forward to continuing that path in Denver and potentially other like markets.
