How We Hire - Our Successful Placement Process

Our culture is all about people and is why we go to great lengths to understand your needs and exceed your expectations. We do the same with the people who work for us. We've created a proven methodology for IT and communications recruiting, finding the best people, and placing them in the right positions.

Our success is due to a proprietary process we've developed called the Successful Placement Process^SM (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 set us apart from our competition, and allow us to re-hire and build long term relationships with top performing technical professionals. By working with proven people, we can be sure you're getting someone who will have the technical skills and professionalism to meet your needs.

Recruiting the Best in the Field

TEKsystems' proactive recruiting philosophy provides us with a pool of pre-qualified employees to draw from when we receive your requirements. 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 can fill your job requirements faster and with better people in order to save 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 utilize a state-of-the-art computerized resume retrieval system to assist our recruiters in locating the necessary personnel when they are needed. This system, which contains over 7 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.

Referrals: Many of our candidates are referrals from current technical professionals.

Local Community: We have created relationships with local unemployment 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.

Military Recruiting: We have a specific program to recruit highly qualified military personnel with "in demand" technical skills. We help service members transition into a civilian career and place their hard won skills and discipline to work for you.

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

Technical professionals will either have proved their skills during previous placements or will have tested and verified their technical skills through our partnership with Brainbench™. This is in addition to a phone interview and in-person interview. So you can be sure you're getting an employee with the technical and interpersonal skills necessary for the job. We also offer ongoing technical training and distance learning for our technical professionals.

Performance monitoring

TEKsystems provides full support for our technical professionals and monitors their performance on a continual basis to ensure we are providing our clients with the highest levels of service in the staffing industry. A TEKsystems representative will contact the hiring manager after the first day, week, and month that a technical professional is on the job. This regular communication between the client manager and TEKsystems promotes resolution of issues and allows us to recognize and re-hire our best performers.
