Contingent Staffing

Over the past two decades, we have developed, refined, and perfected a process for recruiting and retaining top IT professionals to ensure our clients receive the highest quality, most customer minded technology professionals available.

 As staffing specialists, we have built a broad and effective network of IT resources, from our personnel databases, to industry associations, to a vast network of previous employees, clients and other contacts. This networking approach is our strongest method for identifying the best and brightest resources.

Recruiting Excellence

  • Interview - The key to providing clients with effective, productive workers is the structured interview. Our team’s structured interview profiles the applicant’s specific work experience, educational background, work preferences, and interpersonal skills.
  • Technical Screening - We provide in-depth screening and testing as part of our interview process. Our recruiting teams qualify resources during the initial interview phase and assist in determining if further structured testing or technical interviews are required. We leverage internal resources and online tests such as Prove-it and Brain Bench during the technical screening process.
  • Personal Screening - PDS requires each candidate to provide a minimum of three recent professional references, completed employment application and resume prior to the employee’s first assignment, as well as permission for any PDS team member to conduct criminal background investigations and acceptance of our drug-testing program.

Client Satisfaction

  • Client Interview Preparation - We prepare our candidates for their interviews by providing them with a description of the client’s corporate background, a business model, and an explanation of the proposed assignment.
  • Remote Candidates - In cases where in-person interviews are not possible or feasible, we conduct in depth phone interviews with each candidate.
  • Performance Tracking/Metrics - To ensure client satisfaction, we continuously track our client SLAs with respect to time to submittal, submittal counts and position fills. These SLAs vary by customer but our average request to submittal is under 24 hours. Throughout our performance tracking, we have found that clear and direct communication, on a regular basis, is the most critical element when looking to improve our clients'satisfaction.


Retention is Key

      In an industry plagued by turnover, our consultants remain loyal to us and our clients for an average of five years, compared with an industry turnover average of every 2.5 years, As a result, we consistently demonstrate our ability to retain staff for much longer periods enabling us to fully meet the commitments we have made to our clients and their expectations.

      We are committed to providing our customers with the services of the most highly qualified and capable consultants in the industry by continuing to maintain a 95% annual employee retention rate (compared to the industry average of 80%), with an average tenure of four years.

Quality Management

PDS captures client and consultant feedback by contacting each on the first day, once every week for the first four weeks, and monthly thereafter.  Appropriate feedback is shared between our client and consultants to ensure the highest level of consultant performance and client satisfaction.
