Welcome

Focus on "Hot Skills"
Many consulting firms offer multiple services and skill areas to their clients, and don't necessarily focus on only what's hot in the information technology space. They are so busy trying to recruit and deliver within numerous areas of Information Technology that they simply don't have the time and/or resources to focus only on what's hot. Many of our employees and contractors come to us because we focus purely on talent that is in very high demand and we have the time and focus to engage a long-term relationship with our candidate because of this. This focus allows us to attract some of the best and brightest people in the I.T. consulting industry. Our clients benefit greatly by having a focused partner in the hot skill areas, as it allows them access to a talent pool that many of their current vendors do not possess.

Proactive Recruiting vs. Reactive Recruiting

Proactive
HotSkills focuses on skill areas that are in very high demand, and proactively recruits individuals in those areas. We are able to build practices around some of the most talented individuals in their respective "hot skill" areas, building off their network of recruits as well as our own through our proactive recruiting methodology. We are able to do this by offering a focus in high-demand areas and a culture that provides for individual growth in the information technology consulting space. We are also an incubator for the spin off of future service businesses in these "hot skill" areas, so many of our recruits become leaders of their own business with our help.

Reactive
Many consulting firms take a reactive approach to their recruiting efforts, as they become very busy with a workload that spans multiple service areas and disciplines. Often, their sales staff comes to the recruiting staff with an "open requisition", and they are expected to recruit for it reactively (competing against any number of other firms seeking the same skill set, also reactively). This practice does not allow any of these firms to differentiate themselves from one another and can lead to candidates playing one firm against the other. Often, the candidates themselves are active vs. passive, so you're often only able to make contact with active candidates currently on the market vs. passive candidates who are already employed but perfect for the job.

Supply and Demand
It's one of the oldest laws of economics, and it's at play if you engage HotSkills as your vendor. Because of our proactive recruiting methodology, we engage some of the best and brightest minds within information technology “hot skill” areas. If you work with HotSkills, you are going right to the supply of qualified "in demand" subject matter expert skill sets. You are able to save the time and effort in finding the right candidates, and increase your access to qualified candidates, which means cost and time savings for you.

Pricing
We are able to offer our subject matter expert consultants to our clients at extremely competitive rates, as we have implemented processes to keep our overhead down and we are able to earn a profit on smaller margins. A high level of talent at a lower price means good things for our clients. Working directly with HotSkills saves our clients from having to pay a middle-man for access to our talent pool.
