Leading IT Distributor Offers Solution Providers an Easier and More Effective
Alternative for Hiring and Outsourcing Technicians
SANTA ANA, Calif., March 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing to innovate new
services in the IT Channel, the world's largest technology distributor, Ingram
Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM), today announced a lineup of professional staffing and
recruiting services called IT Staffing Solutions. Available immediately to all
Ingram Micro solution providers in the United States, the new professional
services assist solution providers with locating and qualifying trained
technical personnel on a temporary, part-time or full-time basis.
Ingram Micro has segmented its IT Staffing Solutions into three affordable
offerings:
* Temporary, Project-based Staffing: Ideal for short-term needs, this
option offers both low-end labor and high-end specialized technical
resources.
* Temporary-to-Hire: Provides solution providers with the flexibility to
observe candidates' skills and suitability in the field without a
commitment to hire.
* Direct Personnel Placement: An economical solution in which the solution
provider pays only 12 percent of the candidate's annual salary.
"Finding qualified technicians, engineers or developers quickly and at a
reasonable rate is a challenging task in any city," says Brian David, COO, The
Lloyd Group, a solution provider in New York. "Ingram Micro's IT Staffing
Solutions empower us to bring the necessary talent on board as we need it and
with little-to-no hassle. It's much easier and more cost-effective than using
a headhunter and allows us to stay focused on our core business versus combing
through resumes."
Launched as a beta program within the Ingram Micro Services Network (IMSN)
earlier this year, the new recruiting and placement services have become the
staffing solution of choice for many value-added resellers and is now one of
the company's fastest growing professional services offerings. Jason Beal,
group manager for the Ingram Micro Services Network, attributes the growing
success to the ongoing quality control and value checkpoints the new program
offers, including:
* Resume Search and Review
* Technical Screening
* Background and Reference Checks
* Interview Scheduling
* Payroll Processing
"We're focused on helping our solution provider partners grow their
business from all angles, especially when it comes to professional, value-
added services," says Beal. "Ingram Micro's IT Staffing Solutions also provide
a profitable way for our partners to maximize utilization rates and meet the
growing demand for on-site technology services and support without investing a
tremendous amount of time and money."
