As I begin to get deeper into the culture of the DC technology startup crazy, I constantly begin to hear more and more about Viget Labs (http://www.viget.com), a small business here in the DC area that provide startup companies with technology services. I was first introduced to Viget when they hosted the Washington DC startup weekend event in late October (http://dc.startupweekend.com/). Spending time with employees there, and a few networking events later, I have become completely intrigued by the culture this company is growing.

They seem to be having the same trouble the small business I am currently working for is having; which is keeping up recruiting new talent to become a part of the team. Emily Bloom writes on the companies blog about the interesting ways they are approaching the issue of finding the right recruits for the unfilled positions (http://blog.viget.com/creative-recruiting-approach-yields-passionate-results/). Reading this post made me realize that if a company is interested in building a workforce unlike any other, they better look to unconventional ways of recruiting individuals.

I continue to keep an eye on the guys and gals at Viget Labs, they truly are creating a business model worth studying.
