Let's take a look at our recruiting process...

 
Recruiting Process
Candidate Search
Interviewing
Skill Evaluation
Background Check
Performance Review
Our primary business objective is to exceed our clients’ expectations in the timely delivery of quality, approved technology resources for consultative assignments (whether staff augmentation, contract to hire, option to hire or permanent placement). It is our goal to address requirements and to focus our recruiting efforts on filling a position as quickly as possible. Upon receipt of a client’s requisition, we have the proven ability to submit resumes of qualified candidates within 24 hours. Our ability to respond in 24 hours is made possible by our proactive recruiting style.

HTS takes the time to understand the technical, functional, and cultural environment of our clients. By directing our recruiting staff to constantly search for candidates that fit a client’s profile, we dramatically reduce our turn-around time by presenting pre-qualified candidates. This is typically known as pipeline recruiting.

HTS prides itself on our ability to do referral based recruiting. We also recruit through the Internet, local and national advertising, telemarketing, job fairs, universities and technical schools, and our own proprietary database system. Our offices accept resumes from IT professionals through our website and we have dedicated sourcing personnel who search the Internet for resumes of qualified professionals across the country and abroad.

When HTS receives a requirement from the client, it is entered into our proprietary database. This triggers a notification that is sent to all HTS recruiters.

HTS technical recruiters use the following process for sourcing candidates:
A search is conducted among local consultants on our bench and coming off assignment for the appropriate skills and availability to provide a match to the open requirement. Candidates with previous client experience are given priority.

Next, proactive candidates are considered that fit the client’s profile.
If we cannot fill the requirement immediately in this manner, we search for local candidates and referrals with appropriate qualifications that have recently sent us their resumes or have recently interviewed with one of our technical recruiters.

We then search the print media, the Internet and other sources. If necessary, the search is broadened to use our national database.

As the recruiting process proceeds, account managers and technical recruiting staff meet frequently to review the status of all outstanding requirements and to ensure that all viable candidates and resources have been fully reviewed.

At HTS we believe it is necessary to meet each prospective applicant in person in order to screen our potential employees effectively and to help with the analysis of the non-technical aspects of every placement i.e. communication and interpersonal skills. An extensive one-on-one interview between the applicant and our operations personnel identifies the skills, qualifications, personal attributes and career and ambitions of each applicant. The interview also gives us the opportunity to create the employer-employee relationship that is so vital to providing you with satisfied productive workers.
Once identified, each applicant is subjected to a variety of examinations using technical screening tools and phone screens. The internet based testing tools measure technical proficiency, comprehension and skill levels of a variety of technologies in over 100 categories. To qualify for submittal, candidates must score within the 80th percentile or better. HTS currently uses a variety of testing tools including TeckChek, ProveIT, Brainbench and various in-house written examinations. TeckChek and ProveIT have been utilized as a requirement at several of our current vendors. The HTS Account Manager will personally screen each and every candidate prior to submittal. When possible, we will also utilize SME's – subject matter experts – we know who are proven experts in their field. HTS has amassed a pool of SME’s who can do technical interviews with candidates on a variety of technologies.
Each HTS applicant must submit at least one personal and two professional references. At least one stellar supervisory reference must be completed before submission to any Client. With the Beeline system at Discover, we have sped up the process a bit by entering reference information – contact name, phone number etc immediately upon leaving them a message and returning to the system to enter the results then approving for submission to client. Based on other glowing results – i.e. perhaps they have worked for us before or aced a technical test – we may seek permission to OK a submission through the Beeline system and add the details of the references comments as soon as they get back to us.

Timing is of the essence. Quality is essential.

Candidates, who possess certifications, are required to submit certificates of achievement. HTS requests input from former employers regarding rehiring ability, details of job functions, performance, and soft skills.

Additionally, HTS conducts in-depth background checks through Casebreakers. Reference checks and background checks are collected and saved in the candidate’s permanent file.

Our in-house staffing software tracks candidate work history and resume presentation history. This information is used to help track candidates that have done exceptionally well on assignments.

Our goal is to consistently exceed our client’s expectations. We want to make the right match of skills and personality, ensuring that our consultants met your expectations. The quality of service and quality of work our consultants provide are our number one priority.

HTS has found that frequent and honest communications is a key factor to achieving excellent performance results. HTS Account Managers always do a first week review – double checking with both the consultant and the client that all is going well. Each consultant is henceforth given an annual evaluation and career development assistance. Our Consultant Relations Manager (CRM) can conduct a Consultant Satisfaction Survey with the appropriate client manager after 1 month, 6 months, and 12 months of employment, and thereafter, every 6 months until the end of the project. Under VMS guidelines – we adhere to the review/evaluation process as directed by the Client.
