Welcome

Focus on "Hot Skills"
Many consulting firms offer multiple services and skill areas to their clients, and don't necessarily focus talent that the client has difficulty finding in the information technology space. These firms are so busy trying to recruit and deliver within numerous areas of Information Technology that they simply don't have the time and/or expertise to focus. Many of our recruits come to us because we focus purely on talent that is in very high demand and we take the time to focus on engaging a long-term relationship with our recruits. 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 passive talent pool of subject matter experts.

Quality vs. Quantity (Ideal Candidate Profiling)
Many consulting firms overwhelm their clients with resumes of unqualified individuals. Not only does this waste your time as a customer, it wastes the candidate's time. If you're like most people, you don't have the time to sift through multiple resumes to try to identify the right resource. This is where HotSkills works to understand your need, and will only submit candidates that have all the mandatory skill sets you are seeking. To take this a step further, we have an extremely thorough due diligence process, which further qualifies any individual or project team we present to you. Ask us about our Case Study on Quality vs. Quantity, which is a real world example citing a current HotSkills customer.

Proactive Recruiting vs. Reactive Recruiting

Proactive (GOOD!!!)
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 services space. Because we are also an incubator, many of our recruits become leaders of their own business practice with our assistance.

Reactive (BAD!!!)
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 as a client, you suffer as you are 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 pre-qualified 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. A higher level of talent at a lower price means good things for our clients. You can pay twice as much for a subject matter expert and receive half as much experience as our consultants possess. Working directly with HotSkills saves our clients from having to pay a middle-man for access to an awesome talent pool.
