 Hello Everyone,
Below are the top two requirements that we are focusing on today. One is
with Optum and the other is with Pearson. The role with Pearson is actually
an additional Sr. Software Developer, but they do want someone who is local
here to MN already. We do have a number of direct hire opportunities
available – Does your team ever work on direct hire (I apologize if I have
already asked that). We are growing our direct hire practice here and the
available job openings are currently superseding our contract roles (at
least at this moment), but we do expect our contract/contract to hire roles
to really take off soon! Let me know if you would be interested in details
of any of our direct hire roles moving forward.



Thank you!
