Seamless Workforce: Talking Philadelphia technology trends with Yoh
Sometimes people think you have something interesting to say.
I first met Joel Capperella, who works for Yoh, a 70-year-old technology staffing firm and business unit of Day & Zimmerman, when he showed up out of curiosity at a Philly Startup Leaders Fishbowl on Technically Philly.

Yes…Since posting our conversation, we have had a curious uptick in requests for rutabaga agriculture talent. All kidding aside…thanks again for the insight, looking forward to the ongoing conversation.
