SkillsetGroup IT: A ‘Champion in Your Corner’ for Tech Professionals

As a senior service engineer for a global software company, Zack Weingartner helps large commercial clients implement their software solutions “from soup to nuts,” as he explains it. Once the strategizing and planning for a project is done, Weingartner makes sure to fully implement and optimize the software solution in partnership with the client, whether it’s a global Fortune 500 company or a smaller firm. Almost a decade ago, however, Weingartner was doing MSP-focused customer support for a medium-sized software company in Southern California when SkillsetGroup approached him to fill a position he now occupies. He couldn’t be happier with the advocacy and service from our team. “SkillsetGroup found me, and through that opportunity, I’ve really been able to improve the trajectory of my career, as well as my personal life,” Gartner said. “Steve (Coppola, now SSG’s special projects director) found my resume. He called me and we talked for a good 40-45 minutes, and then he started putting me in front of the company.” At the start of negotiations, Weingartner said he couldn’t take the job because of some of the contract conditions. But our consultants at SkillsetGroup IT don’t just give up when we have someone with crucial technical expertise on the line. “About a month later, Steve got me back involved in the process, and we were able to negotiate some changes to the offer that made me want to take the job, and I’ve been doing this for seven years now,” he said.

“It was a bit refreshing to feel like I had a champion in my corner to be an advocate,” he said. “If I ever find myself needing another job, I’ll be coming back to SkillsetGroup. It’s a great payoff; it’s opened up so many doors… There is no telling where I’d be today if SkillsetGroup hadn’t approached me.”

SkillsetGroup IT: Global Software Leader Says, ‘Leave it to the Experts’

When you create the nerve centers of civilization, you need a consulting and staffing partner like SkillsetGroup IT who takes your work as seriously as you do. Keeping the data flowing to support our financial, health and transportation systems requires an IT consultant who can keep pace with your vision, changing technology and the language of your highly technical sector. Too many consultants only dimly understand the real requirements of tech companies, which can be disastrous when your IT infrastructure projects underpin the bulwarks of global society.

Qualified IT Professionals, Right When You Need Them

Netreo President Andrew Anderson is the leader of a firm supplying some of the most ubiquitous dashboarding and monitoring SaaS solutions to institutional and big-business clients throughout the US and globally. When you’re monitoring the function of thousands of ATMs globally used by millions every day, securing and surveilling server farms with petabytes of sensitive health and financial data, or analyzing data streams from nationwide railway safety systems, the right expertise is vital. “We require very specific skill sets in network engineering, IT, and help desk, and it takes time to find the perfect hire,” Anderson explained. “With SkillsetGroup IT, we can save time and move directly to interviewing pre-screened, qualified candidates.”

What Can SkillsetGroup IT Do for Your IT Company?

Anderson said consultants and recruiters at SkillsetGroup take the time to thoroughly understand the necessary expertise, headcounts and software certifications needed for the crucial dashboarding and monitoring solutions Netreo sets up for its clients. SkillsetGroup has serviced Netreo for nearly a decade. “SkillsetGroup is there when you need them – they’re reliable,” Anderson said. “They listen and dig through our requirements to precisely target IT pros with the exact right expertise. Really, it’s been a great success rate.”

For Netreo, that success rate is nearly 100 percent.

In seven years of service to NetReo, SkillsetGroup filled nearly all requested positions across 13 different disciplines, from those with the most rigorous education and technical certifications to administrative and customer service staff. These included:

• Sr. Perl Developers,
• Linux Systems Specialists,
• Applications Developers and
• UX/UI Programmers.

Because SkillsetGroup IT focuses on building a culture of retention, the vast majority of these workers are still working productively for Netreo.

Failures in this IT infrastructure are dangerous and expensive; they can affect all of our lives, not just the institutional managers and CIOs Netreo works with every day.

And just as a surgeon’s operating room team supports the doctor in their intricate and demanding work, SkillsetGroup IT puts the precise right talent and expertise at your fingertips exactly when you need it. Finding the right people for these vital roles is too important to leave to anyone less than the best, and SkillsetGroup IT is the best in the Southwest. “SkillsetGroup IT cuts out the labor-intensive work it takes to locate these potential employees, saving us time, money and other resources,” Anderson said. “Their support is invaluable – I’d recommend SkillsetGroup to any business looking to streamline their hiring processes. Leave recruiting to the experts.”
