David Chie

Hi, I'm David Chie, COO at Palo Alto Staffing.

David Chie, chief operating officer at Palo Alto Staffing Services, is an expert in matching candidates to employers. At Palo Alto Staffing Services, David Chie's primary focus has been on filling sales, marketing, finance, administration, and human resource positions. Due to the company’s successes in these fields, in January 2011, Chie, along with the other primaries at his company, branched out to start Palo Alto Staffing Technology, which works to fill software development positions and is marketed as a Silicon Valley workforce leader. David Chie was instrumental in building the Palo Alto Staffing Technology brand from the ground up and still manages all day-to-day operations and strategy.  David Chie has provided written insight on the topic of staffing, particularly for the technology industry, offering advice to both job seekers and employers. In his article “Shortages of Workers in Key Areas Make Hiring and Retention Strategy a Priority," which appeared on baselinemag.com, Chie advises employers on how to attract the best talent and retain workers with valued skills, as well as what qualities to look for in potential hires. For people seeking jobs, David Chie has volunteered information on successful interview tactics in articles such as “5 Things to Bring to an Interview” by Anne Cummings, which appeared on theworkbuzz.com. In the article “Eight Killer Staffing Resolutions for 2012,” which appeared on staffingtalk.com, Chie is spotlighted suggesting ideas for competing in ways, other than price, when offering work services, such as providing valuable consulting advice to clients.
