Technical staffing agency Fortitude Systems seeks to provide top-quality short- and long-term contractors and consultants to technology companies of all different sizes operating in the IT, business applications, telecommunications, and engineering sectors. A growing firm, Fortitude Systems currently maintains offices in the metropolises of Chicago; Washington, DC; Dallas; and Austin, Texas, and plans to open up new sites in the cities of Boston and Seattle in the coming months. Fortitude Systems draws its contractors and consultants from a diverse talent pool of professionals with expertise in applications development, technical architecture, infrastructure and support, project management and shared services, and communications and telephony. Each candidate goes through a comprehensive review process, including a formal in-person interview and reference and background checks, before they are entered into the company’s proprietary management system and connected with potential jobs. Fortitude Systems’ primary goal includes finding full-time careers for its professionals, which the firm often accomplishes by getting to know them in the review, learning their long-term goals and aspirations, and maintaining regular contact with them about available positions. Much like it strives to do with its contractors and consultants, Fortitude Systems learns everything it can about its clients to better understand the needs and objectives of the businesses the staffing agency serves and how quality professionals fit into that picture. To best meet the needs of its client base, Fortitude Systems maintains a 2-to-1 recruiter-to-account manager ratio and 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week customer service. Furthermore, once the staffing company places an individual, it sets into action a formal process to retain regular communication with the client and the technical professional, ensuring that both benefit from the arrangement or to discontinue the setup if need be.
