Chartered on October 31, 1995, DVTRN was incorporated as a non-profit service organization that serves the greater Philadelphia area staffing and recruiting community. Our membership is composed of recruiters, HR consultants and hiring managers from a variety of corporations, vendors, and service organizations that are involved in recruitment and staffing. Membership is open to anyone involved in the recruitment and selection process that has the desire to control costs and increase the efficiency of their recruitment practices through networking, professional development, and information sharing.

Our mission is straightforward. We are uniting for a more informed recruiting community. Our incentive is clear. By making the community more informed, we make it more efficient, more effective. Our worth is unmistakable. We enhance professional development through information sharing. We target available employment in the industry through reciprocal relationships and control recruitment costs through networking with fellow members.

Accomplishing our mission requires us to do more than provide reading material on the latest recruiting trends. It requires more than scheduling informative workshops, speakers, and banquets. It requires us to dig deeper. It requires us to understand the mechanics of the recruiting industry as a whole, and focus on the needs of the recruiting professional. We've established ourselves as an informal meeting ground, conducive to personal-professional relationship development and collaboration. We've created several online avenues for individuals to access inside-the-industry information, specific to their recruiting needs. In addition, we've made several resources available to everyone - members and non-members alike.

We're always looking for individuals who share our desire to enhance the technical recruiting profession. We encourage anyone interested in helping us complete our mission to become a DVRTN member.
