IT Consultant Task Force Created To Assist Candidates & Clients In A Changing Economy

PRLog (Press Release) – Sep 16, 2009 – New York, New York – Staff IT, Inc. an IT staffing firm with offices in the New York City tri-state area has created an IT Task Force.  This program was designed to provide clients with substantial savings when using a consultant as compared to hiring an employee internally.

Dipak Chatterjee, Director of Global Sourcing states, “We have partnered with a select group of IT professionals to form this IT Task Force.  Those consultants who choose to join our Task Force will enjoy significant benefits for being a member. The main benefit to each candidate is that Staff IT will specifically market them out to thousands of IT managers on a frequent basis in order to create new opportunities for them. These are qualified candidates who enjoy the peace of mind knowing that Staff IT is at work securing their next project thus have committed to providing more competitive rates. In addition, Staff IT is also reducing our markup drastically which results in a huge drop in overall costs for our clients.  Reduced rates are only one of the substantial benefits of using a consultant from the Task Force.”  

Research has demonstrated that there are many financial benefits that an organization will receive by hiring a consultant rather than hiring an IT professional through internal means.  Hiring and turnover costs alone can cost a company upwards of 20% of the persons annual income. SHRM, the Society for Human Resource Management, estimated that it costs $3,500.00 to replace one $8.00 per hour employee when all costs -- recruiting, interviewing, hiring, training, reduced productivity, etcetera, were considered. SHRM's estimate was the lowest of 17 nationally respected companies who calculate this cost.
