Project S.A.V.E. (Staffing Alliance of Virginia Employers) and recruitDC are coming together to form one recruiting community for the Washington, D.C. area and beyond, combining their years of regional leadership.
Two Established Legacies, One Shared Purpose
Both organizations have strong backgrounds that complement each other in this partnership:
Founded in 1990 by Gary Cluff and led by Mike Bruni since 2013, Project S.A.V.E. has supported over 2,000 recruiters, HR leaders, and job seekers for more than 35 years through networking, shared leads, and peer support.
Founded in 2009 by local recruiters, recruitDC has become a well-known community that connects talent acquisition professionals in the region and across the country through conferences, educational programs, and the sharing of best practices.
By combining Project S.A.V.E.’s open community forum with recruitDC’s focus on professional growth and new ideas, this partnership offers a complete home for talent professionals at any stage in their careers.
What to Expect from the Unified Community
Led by recruitDC and guided by its 2028 Vivid Vision, the new group will focus on four main areas:
Broader Networking: Bringing together corporate TA teams, agency recruiters, staffing specialists, and HR leaders.
Expanded Programming: More frequent local meetups, community gatherings, and flagship events.
Actionable Knowledge Sharing: Peer-led problem solving, real case studies, and tips for using new hiring technologies.
Career Growth & Support: A supportive space to help talent professionals adapt, build skills, and stay competitive.
Kick Off the New Era: Join Us November 19
The best way to begin this new chapter is to meet in person.
Come to our first joint event: The Recruiting Community Happy Hour on November 19.
