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.

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.

Technology Staffing Services
We 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.
