We are truly excited to be bringing in such great new talent! The pandemic, while tragic, has allowed us to rethink how, and from where, we recruit. Our company has adapted to a remote work environment, and embraced it.  As a result, we’re able to recruit the best and brightest from across the country, instead of just local to our three offices. Jim, Dana and Noemi are all extraordinary talent that will have an immediate impact on our business, as well as our clients’.
