I experienced the best introduction to Avionté Staffing Software. I have been with Avionté for about a month, and much discussion concerned the Year End Party.

OMG! As most everyone in the staffing industry heard on Thursday, October 21, 2010, Bond Adapt out of the U.K. acquired VCG out of Atlanta. For the staffing industry here in the U.S., this is the biggest Staffing Software M&A news in years.

Role at Avionté Staffing Software: Founding Partner and CEO – Facilitating sales, marketing, finances, strategic partnerships and business development.

There are two main topics society says we shouldn’t talk about – politics and religion.
