Boulder-based recruiter opens new Denver office, eyes out-of-state growth

BOULDER — Creative Alignments, a six-year-old Boulder-based recruiting agency, has opened a new office in Denver’s RiNo District.

The company opened the office at 3463 Blake St., Suite 100, on June 1, after moving from space in the Galvanize facility at 1644 Platte St. in Lower Downtown. The Denver office has a total of eight employees at any given time, said Peggy Shell, its founder and chief executive, and the company has 21 employees overall.

Founded in 2010, the company ranked first in 2015 and eighth in 2016 in Flight III of BizWest’s Mercury 100 list of the fastest-growing companies in the Boulder Valley. Its main office is at 4760 Walnut St., Suite 106, in Boulder.

More expansion is on the way for the company, Shell said. “We’re going to be looking to go into some other markets such as Austin and Portland,” she said.

Creative Alignments recruits workers for a wide variety of industries and professional services but focuses on technology and natural food and products, Shell said. Instead of charging commissions or taking a percentage of salaries, the company bills clients for only the time it spends focused on seeking talent.
