Our partnership with you extends beyond a single job; our Recruiters focus on keeping you continuously employed with opportunities that help to advance your career. Through our five-step placement process, we take the time upfront to understand what you’re looking for and develop a plan to support your long-term goals.
Putting You First: Technical professionals are often approached by staffing Recruiters who do not seem to understand what they do or care about what they are interested in doing.
How Smarts's Placement Process Can Help: We avoid calling you about irrelevant opportunities by taking the time to not only understand your skills and interests, but your personal and professional goals as well.
Finding You the Right Match:Most of the calls that today’s technical professionals receive are limited to one specific job opportunity. If the position isn’t what you’re looking for, the conversation quickly ends.
How Smart's Placement Process Can Help: On any given day, we have over 200 available job opportunities. We know more than just the job descriptions, therefore we can share details about the IT initiatives, their business drivers, the culture of the teams, and the technologies involved.
Preparing You for Your New Role:Technical professionals are often at a disadvantage when sent to interviews without insight into the customer’s business or the project.
How Smarts's Placement Process Can Help: Due to Smart's strong relationships with our customers as well as the technical professionals who have worked for them, we can provide you with an insider’s view of what to emphasize and what to expect throughout the interview process.

To support your ongoing development, we will also provide you with complimentary IT training and support resources throughout your engagement.
Facilitating a Long-Lasting Career with Smarts: A top concern for technical professionals is to remain consistently employed on engagements that advance their careers. However, most staffing firms have difficulty engaging in subsequent searches while their technical professionals are on assignment.
How Smart's Placement Process Can Help: While you are on assignment, we will conduct feedback sessions every 30-days with you and the customer to proactively address your needs. As your assignment approaches an end, we will then initiate our formal rehire process by engaging the customer and marketing your skill set to prospective employers.

Our most pressing need was to find several very strong software programmers that could help us continue to develop and refine our products.

We have worked with them on three different needs so far and will continue to use them as our needs continue to grow and evolve.
