> Project: Apache Commons Geometry
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Basia Burch
> Priority: Major

> Choosing a technology staffing company to hire IT personnel is a decision
> that shouldn't be taken lightly. They will have access to sensitive data or
> passwords, and will be handling all the technology that helps your business
> function. If you are an employer without technical expertise and must rely on
> a technical staffing agency to provide reliable personnel, here are five
> points to help you determine which agency will be right for your business.
> 1. Location is Important
> Distance can often negatively influence communication. Working with an
> out-of-state technology staffing company may involve red tape, delays in
> decision making, or an overall lack of responsiveness. Technical staffing
> agencies with local offices generally have a much better knowledge of the
> industry needs and standards of the local market area.
> 2. Matching Services and Skills
> How well does the technology staffing company match its employee talents to
> client needs? If you have questions about the firm's screening process, don't
> hesitate to ask! The agency should have a very clear understanding of what
> skills you need in an IT employee, and their screening process should reflect
> that.\

> 3. High Caliber Employees
> Look for technical staffing firms that are well-established and not
> understaffed, as they probably acquire high-quality employees. Also, seek out
> technology staffing companies that are run by people who have actual IT
> experience. You may also want to look for one that does IT consulting, since
> they typically have a better understanding of the local job market and the
> type of IT employee you're looking for.
> 4. Fair Compensation
> Since it is the technical staffing agency that sets the employee's wages, and
> not you, ask about their compensation and benefits package. A fair package
> will be a good measure of the talents and types of employees they acquire.
> 5. Ethical Business Practices
> Some staffing companies will throw a number of applicants your way hoping
> that one will work out, while others will spend time and effort into finding
> you a perfect fit. A company that seeks quantity over quality can't maintain
> high quality standards. How does the technical staffing agency treat its
> employees? What is its mission? You want to find technology staffing
> companies that value a balance between quantity and quality, with selection
> processes that align with your beliefs.
> It is essential to have honest, reliable IT personnel working for you. A
> local technical staffing firm that treats its employees well, and also offers
> IT consulting, will have the greatest chance of giving you the talent you're
> looking for.
