Identifying criteria to ensure the right staffing partner for you will improve the likelihood of desired outcomes

Want to improve your chance of choosing the right staffing partner? Imagine this scenario .... You arrive at your office raring to go, only to find your computer systems down and your cloud services offline. To make things worse, the people you depend on at work didn’t show up, and those who are available don’t have the skills you need. It’s a bomb of a day, and you’ve got a mountain of projects to tackle. If you’re lucky, you’ve got a technical staffing company on contract to quickly supply the talent you need to tackle system repairs and your mounting workload. In short, you need both people and technology to perform as expected.

Partnering with the right vendor(s) for technical talent and technology is crucial to your success and peace of mind. We recommend setting specific criteria for the perfect selection. Define what a great outcome looks like for you and add it as an item on an "outcomes criteria" checklist. When you check all those boxes for a vendor, you can trust your decision. Job done!

In speaking with many high-level tech leaders and senior HR professionals, we've determined that the criteria for a great staffing partner include:

1. Expert competence;
2. Responsiveness;
3. Experience;
4. Flexibility; and
5. Trustworthiness.

We've worked hard to ensure we earn a coveted “check mark” in every box; as a result, our clients can expect us to meet or exceed all expectations.

How Not to Derail Your Job Interview

By Donna Anselmo • 05 Apr, 2024
Wondering which single mistake will derail your job interview fastest? According to Senior Technical Recruiter Branden Lodato that mistake is hyping up a resume without substantiating your claims. Hiring managers want to know more than simply what you did. They want evidence of how you did it. Be prepared to provide detailed examples of your work and contributions as well as your successes on individual and team projects. Also, be ready to detail the results of your work. Let the examples you provide during your interview tell your career story for you.
