SPOTLIGHT ON

IT STAFFINGFind World Class Talent with Our Services

1.800.800.0014 www.connection.com/ITstaffing 2

IT staffing departments are facing staffing challenges as everyone is being driven to do more with less. As the IT job market continues to gain strength, organizations across the country are expected to continue to increase their staff, from help desk to desktop support—and especially in areas such as system administrators, network engineers, DBAs, and developers. Since demand has continued to grow, the candidate pool for skilled labor has consequently decreased, and recruitment costs have skyrocketed with the tightening labor market. Organizations find it increasingly difficult to attract the right candidates for open positions in a timely fashion that also aligns with budget requirements. Identifying qualified candidates is typically very difficult, and permanent positions can take a minimum of 90–120 days to fill.

Connection has been trusted for decades to address these very challenges. Leveraging our core competency as a company, we can dig wider and deeper into a candidate pool than Human Resources departments may be able to. Our IT staffing expertise continues to expand and flourish nationally because we attract and retain individuals who grow with us. With our flexible Contract‑to‑Hire program and very competitive rates for permanent placements, it’s easier to stretch every budget dollar and still get the job done. Our customers turn to us for talent needs in short‑ and long‑term contract positions—help desk analysts, developers, engineers, project managers, directors, even CIOs—and our staffing experts find the right candidates.

Flexible Technology Staffing Solutions

1.800.800.0014 www.connection.com/ITstaffing 4

With over 30 years of experience in the IT world, we understand the difficulties many face while filling open IT positions. While looking for long‑term talent, which on average can take 12+ weeks to fill a permanent opening, you must cover the gap, align complimentary skillsets in your organization, and maintain project timelines while continuously driving business results. The growing workload can quickly become exceedingly difficult to manage without capable personnel on hand and with other skillsets stretched to compensate for missing manpower.

We also understand your concerns to find a candidate with the right skillset as well as the right organizational fit. Our experts are well versed in finding the right people for the right jobs, at the right organizations. We have the bandwidth to be able to focus on matching those skills sets, because we’re an IT company ourselves. Our goal is work with your HR department and become an extension of that team so that we can truly understand both the technical requirements and the soft skill requirements of your position. Then we help expand their search, whether that be casting a wider geographical net or digging deeper into the candidate pool. As we search for your ideal candidates, we work hard to ensure your team is fully included in the entire process.

Your Challenges, Our Expertise

Technology Staffing ServicesWe have the programs to help you find talent specific to your unique IT needs and strategic goals.

Project Staffing

If you have an IT project, roll‑out, backfill, or specific skill opening where you need to bring in technical expertise for 30, 60, 90 days or more, turn to our staffing experts. Perhaps you have an initiative that needs all your key IT players, but you still have to take care of regular daily tasks. We help you hire someone for those shorter term needs, so you’re able to complete rollouts, upgrades, and migrations on time.

We listen to your technical requirements and provide you top‑notch talent for your time frame. We also guarantee every candidate we place—if you aren’t completely satisfied after the first 16 billable hours, you will not be charged. Our team will work with you to replace the candidate right away.

Benefits of Project Staffing:• Cost-effective and flexible—We fill positions quickly to save

you time in the recruiting and hiring process.

• Advance assessments—All staffing consultants are pre‑screened, interviewed, and evaluated along with an in‑depth background check allowing you to review the top 2–4 candidates per position.

• Efficient—We present the best candidates with the right skillsets the first time, which eliminates a long interview process for your team.

• Retain your focus—You can concentrate on your core organization objectives—not the recruiting process.

To save time, effort, and expense in the recruitment process, we can help you “field test” technology talent so you can make a strategic decision based on both your environment and the fit of the candidate. Contract‑to‑Hire provides flexibility in the hiring process by offering unique benefits such as staffing projects and open positions on a timely basis, plus a cost‑effective 90‑working‑day, no conversion fee option to ensure employer and candidate are satisfied before any commitments are made for the position.

Contract‑to‑Hire is a very popular program, making up over 40% of the placements that we do. This is especially valuable when you have a permanent need, but you might want to bring somebody in and truly evaluate that person—not only a technical level, but also to ensure they’re the right fit with the rest of your team.

Benefits of Contract-to-Hire Staffing• Minimal risk—Cost‑effective, low‑risk way to recruit with our

90‑day, no conversion fee option.

• Lower costs—No unemployment costs, benefit payments, or other costs if the hiring does not take place.

• Minimize the risk of poor hires—Ensure both the employer and the candidate are satisfied before any commitment is made.

• Accelerated time to hire—Projects and open positions are staffed in a timely manner.

• Agility—Flexible length of contract for the hiring programs.
