How We Hire – Our Successful Placement ProcessSM
Understanding your business needs – and your technical needs - is the difference between
providing staffing services and providing technology staffing and services. It’s all about people, and it’s
why we go to great lengths to understand our needs and exceed your expectations. We search for
technical professionals with the industry experience, technical abilities, and professionalism to
help our clients achieve technical and business goals. By meeting our clients’ need for this
level of talent and professionalism, we are able to develop continued opportunities for, and
long-term relationships with, our technical professionals.
It all comes down to finding the best people and placing them in the right positions. We
have refined this core competency into a proprietary process and methology known as the
Successful Placement Process (SPP). Our SPP is comprised of critical elements including:
- Recruiting
- Screening
- Performance Monitoring
The steps we take to identify, screen, and monitor the performance of our technical
professionals allow us to re-recruit and build long-term relationships with top performing
technical professionals. You can be sure you’ll have proven professionals working for you.
Recruiting the Best in the Field
On-demand access means filling your requests fast. Drawing from a pool of pre-qualified
employees is the only way to achieve speed AND ensure you’re provided with top quality
professionals. Our team is constantly recruiting and pre-screening individuals
by conducting interviews, reference checks, and testing in advance. By spending time on the
front end, we fill your job requirements faster and with better people, saving you time on the
back end.
When hiring employees, our recruiters utilize the following resources:
thingamajob.com®: Our proprietary Web site on which job
seekers can find jobs and post resumes. thingamajob.com is an industry leader in providing a
platform for job seekers to meet, engage, and get employed.
TeamTrak: We assist our recruiters in locating the necessary personnel when
they are needed through our state-of-the-art, computerized resume retrieval system. This system,
which contains over seven million total candidates, is growing every day.
Networking: We network extensively with our current and former technical
professionals, our clients, and with each other to find qualified applicants. We also work and
network extensively within industry associations.
Referrals: Many of our candidates are referrals from current technical
professionals.
Local Community: We have created relationships with local employment
offices, Chambers of Commerce, and other group organizations in the local area surrounding our
local offices.
Job Fairs: We host and attend job fairs regularly to identify potential
candidates and network within local communities.
Niche Recruiting Resources: Our recruiters have access to premium and
industry-specific Web sites, and subscribe to professional journals and publications to
identify potential candidates.
Extensive screening for recruiting employees with the right qualifications
Our screening process follows rigid guidelines to ensure that we only provide qualified
candidates to your company. We will only present candidates to our clients that:
- Have met with a TEKsystems representative in person
- Have been briefed on the position and are interested in the opportunity
- Have the required skills for the position
- Have satisfactory references from previous employers
Skill testing before hiring employees
Your technical professionals will either have proved their skills during previous placements
or will have tested and verified their technical skills through our partnership with
BrainbenchTM. This is in addition to a phone interview and in-person interview –
interviews that are also used to asses candidates’ skills and professionalism. Our technical
professionals also receive ongoing technical training and distance learning to help keep their
skills and knowledge current. You can be sure you’re getting an employee with the technical and
interpersonal skills necessary for the job.
Performance monitoring
A TEKsystems representative will contact the hiring manager after the first day, week, and
month that a technical professional is on the job. Regular communication between the client
manager and TEKsystems supports our techincal professionals, promotes resolution of issues, and
allows us to recognize and re-hire our best performers. This kind of ongoing quality assurance
helps us guarantee that we’re exceeding your needs and expectations and further refines our
placement process.
