The Judge Group of Conshohocken, one of the largest information technology staffing firms in the U.S., announced May 13 it is opening a new office in West Chester.

The office at 1 South Church Street in West Chester, will house the division’s largest sales operations and new training center. The local office may be reached at 610-667-7700.

“We are excited about our new state of the art training center,” said Rick Furlano, president of Judge, Inc. “Combining our team-oriented approach and training operations under one roof gives us the opportunity to grow aggressively over the next decade.”

“West Chester offers Judge a large talent pool, especially because it’s home to a lot of tech-savvy West Chester University students and alumni,” said Furlano. “The great downtown feel here is what current and new recruiting talent want in a place to live and work.”

The organization annually places more than 3,000 professionals nationwide into salaried positions. With the addition of the space in West Chester, Judge, Inc. is expanding its direct placement services into several new verticals. Initially, operations will be directed by Steve Green, Judge, Inc.’s senior executive vice president.
