Extensive Background Investigations (employment, experience, education, certifications)
Upon arrival to our offices, each candidate is required to complete a job application form. This form helps us gather personal data including job references. Each technical recruiter conducts an extensive background review; job and salary history; proof-reads resume; certifies dates; and collects references.

Non-Technical Interviews
Each candidate will have an in-house interview (evaluation of presentation, communication and interpersonal skills). Prior to submitting a candidate's qualifications to the client, the account executive reviews the candidate's profile, discussing with him/her the specific position. Only then does the account executive submit the resume to the client. A resume is never submitted before the candidate is properly matched to the job requirements.

Technical Interviews
Each candidate will undergo a comprehensive, technical interview with an in-house technology expert, or a hands-on technical assessment by one of our technical associates.

Reference Checks
Technical recruiters contact all references provided by the candidate. Two references are required from each candidate. Previous managers are required. Our recruiters follow a reference-verification procedure. Each reference answers a series of questions confirming the details of the candidate's work experience. If negative and/or misleading information is gathered, the candidate is eliminated from any potential employment opportunity.
