Connections is an unparalleled provider of both full- time candidates and consultants on an as-needed basis. Our commitment to expedient, individualized and diligent searches has helped Connections to be a recognized leader in the industry.

Connections has a top down and bottom up philosophy, coupled with the idea that there is strength in numbers. We have a unique blend of highly qualified talent at our core, and tap into an extensive in-house research team with the uncanny ability of finding the needle in a haystack. There is no waste, and no downtime in our execution. Much like a well-oiled machine, all of the engine parts work synergistically ensuring consistency and reliability. We draw upon this diverse talent to provide "Pursuit Teams" at a moment's notice. These teams can respond to immediate and long-term requests with alacrity, adeptness, and precision. This gives us a clear advantage in tracking down the hottest and most sought after candidates.

We believe that IT priorities for the years ahead will be to maintain or improve service levels, drive productivity and efficiency initiatives, and extract maximum impact with minimal cost. Our understanding of the business paradigm coupled with our multidisciplinary backgrounds and experience allows us to address the needs of our clients and harness IT to ever-changing business conditions.

We understand that both full-time employees and consultants are subject to the same rigors, and clearly communicate the importance of accurate information and full disclosure to potential hires, and this enables us to move candidates through the process in a seamless manner.

With regard to hiring technical candidates, each applicant undergoes a thorough screening process prior to being presented to the client. All applicants are initially pre-screened by phone to assess work eligibility, communication skills, current and past functional job experience, general aptitude, technical competency, product, and/or subject matter expertise, corporate and cultural fit. Applicants are also subjected to preliminary technical screenings, which are performed by senior recruiters. Selected applicants are then asked to come in for face-to-face interviews for I-9 verification in addition to secondary and tertiary technical skill testing compiled from various sources (both standardized and non-standardized). Assessment is then made of candidates' reasons for leaving current and past positions, commute/transportation logistics, driving motivational factors for seeking new career opportunities as well as simultaneously managing realistic salary expectations. We also educate candidates about client philosophy, business, objectives, details of the group's responsibility within the firm, and lastly, the specific requirements and individual job functionality. Upon request of client, we check pay stub and education verification, perform drug screens, fingerprinting, and criminal background checks which are provided by third party background check.
