Why Veredus
Veredus separates itself from other staffing firms in a variety of ways. First of all, we strive to offer you
unparalleled customer service and personalized attention. We listen to your needs and ask questions about how we can
provide you with even better service. We strive to be an innovator in our field with everything that we do. Our candidates
are the cream of the crop and we can prove it.
What's more, we have the industry experience and know-how to ensure
that you receive the best match of candidates to fulfill your job request. Our recruiters know the market, know the
technology. We aren't just putting someone in a position, but filling a job with a talented professional.
About Our Candidates
Veredus has partnered with Prove It!, an
online skills assessments and certifications leader, as its primary skills and assessment service provider.
Prove It! provides online certification and
assessment for more than 375 different skills that drive business success today. All of their skills tests are web-based,
eliminating configuration management and geographical issues.
Partner with us and Prove It! in measuring
the skills of our employees and/or find qualified professionals by contacting
one of our recruiters.
Our Matching Process
When you have a position that needs to be filled, we meet with you to determine the technical aspects of the job and the
other issues that can ensure a great outcome. Such other issues can be experience in your industry, experience with a
similar project, or perhaps even familiarity with a foreign language. We interview, we listen. Next, we meet with our
recruiters who have personally interviewed our candidates. We discuss how we can meet your unique needs and the recruiters
set out to find candidates for you. When we feel that we have some matches, we send you their resumes,
Prove It! test scores and references. From this
information, you can determine if the technical aspects are met and if you are interested in interviewing this candidate.
Tips for Selecting a Professional Staffing Firm
As new technology and business regulations drive the need for highly skilled employees, business is turning to professional
staffing companies for help in locating and attracting high-quality people. Business and industry are under increased pressure
to locate the right employees to cope with reduced deadlines, wildly fluctuating workloads, match unique skills to new product
and service opportunities, and find solutions to the increasing complexities of managing a modern workforce.
All professional staffing firms are not equal. Here are some questions you can ask a potential firm before you ask for their
assistance in staffing for your company.
1. Do they have direct experience in staffing for that industry?
It is vital that you work with a firm that specializes in knowing the particular industry of the position you are seeking to
fill. Many staffing firms will add an industry to their list of services simply to jump on the bandwagon of a "hot" industry
and are simply doing a keyword search on their database of applicants.
Veredus Corporation is experienced in the recruitment and placement of Information Technology, and Finance and Accounting
fields. In fact, our recruiters and account managers average over eight years experience in the staffing business.
2. How does the company recruit and retain its qualified and reliable workforce?
Be wary of companies that cite the Internet as their source for recruiting. While convenient, their lack of personalization
and depth of knowledge of the applicant will eventually end up as your problem. Does the firm offer training or continuing
education resources for advanced training of their consultants? When a company takes an active interest in their consultants,
they are showing their commitment to them and to you.
Veredus Corporation uses the Internet only as a tool in the process of recruiting and pre-qualifying consultants. Our main
focus of recruiting is based on personal, one on one conversations and interviews. We believe in a longterm outlook, which is
in everyone's best interest. As a result, our consultants stay on with us and prefer to work with our clients.
3. What steps do they take to pre-qualify candidates before you interview?
Before you spend time interviewing a potential candidate, you want to be sure that this person is honestly reflected in their
resume. Are you also provided with any other information on this person besides a resume? Does the staffing company recommend
the most qualified candidate, or do they dump a stack of resumes in your email? References or test results are helpful.
Veredus Corporation is very selective with the candidates that it presents to you. All consultants are personally interviewed
with a recruiter and take an on-line skills assessment test. When we identify a candidate for you to interview, you are provided
with their resume, skills test results and information obtained from the references check. Plus, the consultants are briefed on
your company and the job opportunity prior to the interview. This helps both of you to have an informative interview.
4. How quickly can they fulfill your requests?
Response time is important, but so is quality. A staffing firm that makes unrealistic promises to fill your opportunity may be
too good to be true. However, a staffing firm that quickly responds to your request and begins to act on it is acting in your best
interest. Responsiveness is key. You should expect feedback and expect your agent to be responsive to your query.
Veredus Corporation is very responsive and flexible to your needs. Our clients speak very highly of our ability to respond
quickly and to be flexible. If, for any reason, Veredus is unable to service your needs, you will be informed in a prompt and
respectful manner.
For temporary assignments, we recommend taking advantage of our "Working Interview." This is a risk free way to quickly fill a
position when time is of the essence.
5. How is the "service after the
sale"?
Beware staffing firms that make a placement
but never follow up with the consultant
or client. This lack of follow up means
they are not in touch with, or concerned
about, your satisfaction with the assignment.
Veredus Corporation works actively with
you throughout the term of your contract
with temporary and contract employees.
Through constant communication with you
and the consultants, we chart the progress
of the project toward completion. We work
diligently to reassign our consultants
once the current project ends. Our account
managers will often be on site to resolve
any problems and to ensure a timely outcome
of the projects. Our services are always
guaranteed. We also carry a $1,000,000
worker's compensation policy.
6. Do they have references that can
be checked to determine their credibility
in staffing for a particular industry?
Talk to other companies in your same industry
about whether a staffing firm is ethical
and professional. A firm's reputation
is usually accurate. Call their references
and discuss the aspects of the project
or hire. Use some of the questions above
to determine if they meet these guidelines.
Veredus Corporation has a list of industry
references that have offered to discuss
the details of their projects with any
potential clients. This list is available
by calling us at (813) 936-7004.
7. What organizations is the staffing
firm a member of?
Membership in various community and industry-related
organizations demonstrates that the company
is active in the marketplace and is representing
itself as a dedicated professional staffing
firm. It shows that they have committed
to abide by the highest ethical standards
in the industry and is up-to-date on all
the latest developments and market trends.
Veredus Corporation is active in the
Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce, Tampa
Bay Technology Forum, CIO Council, CEO
Council, Junior Achievement of Orlando,
TOPIE - Team of Professional Internet
Entrepreneurs, Global Technology Partners,
Suncoast Human Resource Management Association.
8. Will the company do a presentation
for you and your management team?
After speaking with representatives from
three or four firms that you feel may
meet your needs, ask for presentations.
This is your chance to gain as much information
as possible about the company, including
answers to many of the questions posed
here.
Please contact Veredus Corporation
at (813) 936-7004 to arrange a personal
presentation by one of our account managers.
We would be happy to discuss how we can
help you overcome the staffing challenges
that you face.
9. How do they communicate with their
consultants and clients?
Check out the web sites of various professional
staffing firms. A good web site shows
the investment the firm makes to both
the client and contractor.
Telephone or email the staffing firms,
and you'll get your first clue as to their
business style. If you're treated brusquely
or do not receive a response, it's not
a good sign. Remember the staffing firm
is the employer. Their customer service
practices greatly affect the quality of
the employees who come into your offices.
They recruit, hire and train their staff,
so make sure you are dealing with a professional,
capable organization.
You will always be greeted by a professional
at Veredus Corporation who has one goal
in mind -- your success. Whatever your
need may be, we will work with you to
quickly respond to it.
