What slow down

The staffing business has always been under pressure from one kind of change or another. Changes take place in new software, new systems, new businesses and new business models, economic recession, etc.

The staff augmentation business has survived and grown inspite of these pressures. Why? The staffing business is fast, flexible, and needed.

With todays communication networks we can maintain contact with resources and know within hours who is available and interested in filling a spot. With todays technology we can provide our services on-site, off-site, or a combination of both and in addition to that many of us can provide solutions in off hours or days.

Clients have projects to complete and may not have long-term budgets. That is where we shine, we can provide them with top notch people on a short-term basis to help them through their difficulties.

Reference Checking

While most technical support/development people are honest and can prove their skills some may not be. In these highly competitive times, where one slip up could cost you a client, you would not want to be forwarding resumes to your clients without thoroughly checking the candiates references.

If your client takes their valuable time to interview your candidate, based upon your submission, and then finds out during the interview that the candidate is less than honest it reflects badly on YOU.

Take a few minutes of your time to verify that the candidate has the skills, has worked where they say they have, and has a good work record. Simple, yet some firms don't even bother

You only have one thing of value to your clients, integrity. Don't blow it.
