Technical Recruiting

The Challenge of Technical Staffing

Why is building and maintaining a skilled technical staff so difficult? First, recruiting can be complicated by a lack of a large applicant pool to select from. Even if a seemingly strong applicant is selected, it is frequently difficult to determine how productive the individual will be in the workplace. For example, two individuals with similar experience in Visual BASIC may differ greatly in their productivity and quality of code. Hiring the wrong person can be expensive and time consuming. Typically, organizations will try to correct problems by coaching and training over an extended period. Terminating a poor performer may take weeks or months. Furthermore, employees that are merely "adequate" are often retained to avoid another round of recruiting. Constantly changing technology poses another problem. The skills of employees can become rapidly obsolete, or can become poorly matched to the needs of the employer.

How CompStar Saves Time and Money

In most cases, CompStar personnel are a cost effective and highly flexible solution to computer/IS staffing needs. As your needs change, CompStar can adapt quickly. We can provide new skills, adjust the amount of time, or whatever else is needed to keep you highly productive. Nevertheless, there are times when an organization may prefer to fill a position with a direct employee. CompStar helps here, too, with our unique recruiting approach that takes the risk out of hiring technical staff. First, unlike many recruiting firms, CompStar carefully evaluates each potential candidate, usually with an in-person interview. Because CompStar can conduct both "management" and "technical" interviews, we can avoid the most common recruiting mistakes. And CompStar never faxes random resumes to you in the hope that something will "stick," wasting your valuable time in the process. Another key facet of CompStar's approach is that, in many cases, we can keep the candidate on our payroll while you evaluate his technical skills, personality fit, etc. Only when you are satisfied that he is right for the job do you actually hire him. Your risk of hiring the wrong person is eliminated! Many recruiting firms offer a "guarantee" - if your new employee doesn't work out, they will conduct a new search. We'll do that too, but our unique approach ensures that you won't have to incur the expense and productivity loss of a poor hiring decision. To further support our recruiting effort, CompStar maintains a large and current database of technical personnel in each of the geographic areas it serves, and can draw on that as well as more conventional recruiting sources.

The CompStar Difference

CompStar's approach is designed to save you time and money - only the most qualified candidates ever reach your desk. And through its thorough screening process, CompStar ensures that you won't waste your time interviewing poor candidates. Finally, when CompStar employs the candidate at your site, you have the ultimate assurance of an excellent fit.
