Consultants can be hired on different engagement models: Temporary, Contract-to-Hire or Full-time.

Temporary Contract
Our temporary staffing service helps our clients quickly ramp up project teams with as few or many qualified consultants as are required to fill short-term and long-term needs. We employ innovative techniques to access the best talents on current skill sets, emerging technologies and next generation trends.
While our Accounts Manager works collaboratively with our clients to understand their staffing needs, our dedicated recruitment team works on identifying the right resources, screening, interviewing, testing and short-listing candidates.

To ensure the continual availability of qualified and efficient resources, we take fullest advantage of many different channels to find and recruit staff. These include:

• Internet recruiting. classifieds in jobsites
• Headhunting through smart work groups
• Incentive/ Referral programs
• Regular searches through business/ community networks
• Internal working and Redeployment
• Relationship building through independent consultants
• Associate vendor relationships.

Contract-To-Hire
Our Contract-to-Hire program enables our clients to fill a full-time position after an on-the-job performance evaluation. Selecting this service option provides the opportunity for a client to assess an employee’s performance and suitability to a position and the organization prior to making a hiring commitment.
Contract-To-Hiring service benefits both a client and the temporary employee who is seeking long-term employment. The process for candidate interviews, screening and recruitment is similar to that for a temporary employee; however the candidate will have different long-term goals, interest and involvement in the company.
Our strategy for facilitating the transition from Contract Resource to Hired Resource is to focus on an employee’s personal development. This will involve:

1. Pre-contract training
2. On-demand training while on contract
3. Constant upgrading of technical and communication skills
4. Regular performance reviews

Orientation programs on future technology trends

Full-Time Employment
Our professional recruiters source candidates to fill permanent vacancies. Our extensive network enables recruiters to seek out exceptional professionals who have been successfully employed but may not be traced through the usual channels. Special interview methods and multi-layered reference techniques are then used to select candidates to match specific requirements.
Our Full-time Employment service lets our clients have the following advantages:

• Time savings by eliminating the need to assess and check candidates
• Cost savings made by cutting out the expense of advertising and by enabling sta­ff to concentrate on their own specific briefs.
• A competitive advantage with a larger pool of candidates to draw from New-age IT services
