About Us

Colin Whittington started Recruiting Heroes with the simple belief that America's Heroes deserve to have successful and meaningful careers after their years of service. As a Deputy Sheriff in Northern Virginia, Colin saw firsthand the passion, skill, and talent of his brothers and sisters in uniform.

Colin began his career as a patrol deputy and quickly discovered the sacrifices our First Responders and Veterans make on a daily basis. Within his first year on patrol, he received two Life Saving Awards for two separate incidents. In 2019, Colin was named the Virginia Deputy Sheriff of the Year by the Virginia Sheriff's Assocation. Colin was then promoted to Sergeant and was charged with running the recruiting, background investigation, and hiring unit for the largest, full-service Sheriff's Office in Virginia. He supervised a team of recruiters and background investigators. While law enforcement agencies around the nation struggled to attract talent, Colin's team led the agency to a record low vacancy rate through innovative and strategic recruiting strategies.

Colin's love for recruiting took him to the IT field where he recruited top talent from around the nation for positions with the Federal Government, state governments, local governments, and small and large businesses. 

Colin is determined to help America's Veterans and First Responders find exciting, new careers after they have completed their service. 

In his free time, Colin enjoys spending time with his family, playing soccer, and competing in Ironman triathlons.
