Stop Wasting Time with Generic Recruiters – Trust 30+ Years of IT Recruiting Experience and Best Practices

At TriCom, we’re all about following a thorough process of qualification. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said of all IT staffing firms. Sometimes, client companies use technical staffing firms to source resumes and nothing more. In other words, they’re not holding those firms accountable to actually doing much, if any, due diligence. 

In addition, client corporations often use staffing firms thinking that they will help cover the marketplace for IT talent. Unfortunately, this actually works in reverse, making those recruiters take shortcuts to get “rights” to a particular IT candidate. This negatively impacts the quality of their work, and, ultimately, both candidate and client experience suffers greatly, diminishing the pool of technical talent that wants to work for that type of client. 

Not all recruiters are created equal – depending on what firm they work for.  

How We Do Our Due Diligence 

One of the ways we vet candidates is through third-party evaluations. This ensures neutrality and fairness for everyone involved. Our independent platform assesses technical aptitude, professional references, and soft skills, such as communication and dependability. We also check for those behavioral soft skills when we interview every candidate in a face-to-face meeting. 

Plus, we incentivize our consultants to stay at our client site with top-of-the-line benefits, such as: 

• Cost-free health and dental care: Access to comprehensive Blue Cross Blue Shield group coverage that’s free for both consultants and employees. 

• Day-one vested 401(k) plan: Features a 100% match from TriCom up to 3% and 50% on the next 2% of employee contributions. 

• Contractor-friendly PTO and holidays: We foster a healthy work-life balance, giving contractors paid holidays, covered by TriCom. 

• Dedicated HR and ongoing support: Personalized assistance throughout the engagement to ensure the candidate’s needs are always met. 

• Referral bonus program: Full-time employees and contractors may receive rewards when we place a candidate that they refer. 

Consultants won’t be tempted by another contract that offers more money per hour when considering the significant downgrade in benefits. Instead, they’ll actually want to work for you because of the better cultural alignment and the backing TriCom provides them beyond their hourly rate.  

Our personalized approach is specific to the candidate’s needs because our goal is to understand what is uniquely important to you – the client or candidate – and why. We’re relationship driven. We believe the “who” (character, attitude, motivation, and aptitude) always comes before the “what” (present-day tool set). We prioritize traits and characteristics above anything else. 

Think of us as your main advocate. If you’re a candidate, we help you grow and move your career forward by aligning with client companies that also value “the who” first. If you’re a client, then we help you discover and retain talent that more naturally fits with your overall organization and company values. We’re in it for the long haul. 

IT Expertise and Experience—By the Numbers 

IT is complicated. It comprises many different roles, skills, and duties. Understanding that landscape is crucial to asking candidates the right questions. Having a recruiter that focuses exclusively on IT is a major advantage over firms that do all types of roles. 

Of course, experience also matters. And we’ve got plenty of it. Let’s take a look at just some of the numbers: 

That’s not to mention the many rewards and great reviews to our name, including: 

• 13 consecutive ClearlyRated Client and Talent Best of Staffing awards
