Overview

The West Coast tech boom may have sparked the fierce competition for today’s top technology talent, but the national and international boundaries have since dissolved.  From Silicon Valley to Silicon Alley, the resources required of a top-tier internal recruiting function have changed dramatically.  How do ventured-funded startups and mid-sized technology companies compete with the likes of Google, Microsoft, and other Fortune 500 players?  With Accolo clients benefit from a level of expertise, resources, and infrastructure that not even the top technology companies can duplicate.

While attracting top engineers and developers can earn a business a lot of attention, the sales, marketing, operations and finance positions are just as important and challenging to fill.  Accolo has gathered an exceptional network of professionals in the software and technology industries which, when combined with our innovative process and other resources, can work to lure top talent to your company.

Solutions

“My firm is a small, venture-funded software company that is ramping up over the next year.  How can Accolo help?”

Accolo’s On Demand solution is ideal for companies that need to ramp up quickly but are not able to commit to a consistent, long-term hiring need.  The base monthly commitment is as low as $1,950 per month, and the company can tap into Accolo’s recruiting team and full range of resources as needed.  In situations where a client needs to make multiple hires - such as recruiting a team of developers or a team of inside sales people - Accolo’s pricing structure allows you to make multiple hires for one flat fee.

“Our firm has consistent hiring needs, but our current recruiting infrastructure and resources are not going to get us to the next level.”

Depending on your hiring volume, Accolo’s On Demand or Enterprise options may be a fit.  The On Demand option is best for companies making 15 to 75 hires per year, and the Enterprise is best for companies making more than 75 hires per year.  In either situation, you get a fully functioning internal recruiting department in a matter of weeks. Our Hiring Consultants manage your jobs from start to finish and work with your hiring managers to drive the process. And Accolo Hiring Consultants come equipped with our proprietary technology, full range of resources, and our 1,000,000+ person Career Network.

“We’re an established technology firm, but we have one particular hiring area that is always a challenge.”

PHP, Java, Perl—we know the challenges of recruiting for the skills most sought after.  The issue isn’t finding one candidate for a 25% fee—there are thousands of contingency recruiters to choose from.  Rather, how do you build a hiring infrastructure that makes successfully hiring for the difficult-to-fill positions a repeatable, scalable and efficient process?  Accolo’s technology and Career Network allow us to build relationships and pipelines that will make your hiring more predictable.  Our flexible approach to client service allows us to work as part of your HR team, focusing our process on a select job function or business unit.
