Blue Bridge was founded with the core beliefs of relationships and helping people accomplish their goals. We find great technical talent for Cincinnati-based companies by understanding their needs and wants. Our goal is to be the conduit for overall success.
We believe building great relationships is critical for long term partnerships. Our customers are a community of people who work hard to accomplish common goals. IT professionals are part of the community helping organizations accomplish these goals.
While “technology platforms and AI tools” will continue to play a role, we pride ourselves in taking a holistic approach to technology talent acquisition. We are driven by building relationships. With our pragmatic approach and wise investments in technology, we are able to engage with national talent.
Our mission is to raise the bar on building relationships by providing exceptional services to our technology talent & customers. Our purpose is to create an environment where relationships are at the center of everything we do! We intend to do this by working hard, earning every opportunity and exceeding expectations.
We aim to think globally and act locally.
Our investment in technology has helped us find and network with candidates not available through normal social media channels.
We specialize in bringing Humanity back to technical recruiting for Cincinnati-based companies.
Blue Bridge provides technology talent recruiting and retention services. We harness the power of technology and professionals’ needs to find the right fit for customers and candidates alike. With over 35 years of combined experience, our team is focused on finding IT talent for Greater Cincinnati-based companies with both remote/hybrid and on-premise professionals.
Contract & Permanent
Placement
Skilled IT professionals are difficult to find and critical to retain. With IT unemployment at 3%, candidates have options to work on a “contract/gig” or “permanent” basis. Since Blue Bridge is focused on hiring for IT exclusively, our quality process is built around evaluating technology talent for various opportunities. We work for our professionals by identifying projects that will enhance their long-term growth.
Senior & Executive
Hiring
Senior talent is looking to work for organizations that embody a “growth mindset” and a culture where technology has a “seat at the table.” Senior technology professionals provide leadership to their teams. Most of them are passive job seekers. Blue Bridge will help you build a value proposition to attract and retain these professionals. Senior technology talent investigates how the organization can use its technological prowess, speed, and customer service to outperform rivals.
Advisory & Recruiting
On Demand
Align your IT talent hiring with the market through our advisory and enhanced recruiting platforms. The demand for IT professionals will continue to grow. This demand is stemming from Covid challenges, cloud computing, and information security. How you hire, promote and retain these highly trained professionals is critical. Our advisory services can guide your talent acquisition teams, recruit talent and provide with you with a “recruiters on demand” model.
