The most important first step when a company joins Technical.ly’s company board is for us to get to know them inside and out, discovering what makes them unique so we can best connect them with the talent they need to complete their teams.

With the annual NET/WORK Philly coming up next Tuesday, we have a prime opportunity to highlight some of the interesting bits we’ve learned along the way.

Perhaps some of these will resonate with you, and hopefully this serves as a useful tool to help you make the most of your time at the event.

Here are a few fun facts about each of the companies you’ll find along “Pro Row” next Tuesday (that’s the section right near the entrance to the exhibitor hall), but the most fun fact of all is that they’re currently hiring!
