Nerdery looking for more than a few good nerds at Nov 13 open house

An open house geared at recruiting interactive talent will be hosted Friday, November 13 at Nerdery Interactive Labs (The Nerdery). Career-minded web developers will have the opportunity to meet peers in their natural habitat –The Nerdery. RSVP at http://nerderyopenhouse.eventbrite.com.

Guests will have open access to most of The Nerdery’s staff of 85, including the leadership team, software development managers, and developers of all disciplines. On the heels of company-record-setting sales numbers for two consecutive months and strong pipeline of interactive work, The Nerdery plans to hire up to ten staff in 2009, and continue to add another 30 in 2010.

“Our developers have told me time and again that they’ve learned more in a matter of months at The Nerdery than at any time or place in their career,” said Tom O'Neill, vice president of software development. “Our nerds quickly build impressive portfolios of visible work for household brands while working with top creative agencies.”

Those who leave a resume for Nerdery consideration will be entered in a drawing to win an iPod Touch, and food and beverages will be served. Learn about working/playing at The Nerdery: http://www.nerdery.com/jobs
