The speed at which business is changing combined with new employment trends is why companies need to build a workforce that is flexible and focused. TrueBridge Resources, a leading professional staffing company, has opened for business to address this need and the increasing demand for professional contract staffing.

According to Workforce Management (10/20/08), the current performance of the U.S. staffing industry has been a tale of two sectors. Demand for skilled, professional workers has remained strong even as cutbacks hit the commercial sector, populated by lower-skilled clerical workers. The need to find the right skills to fill critical jobs could continue to bolster demand for certain types of professional temporary workers even if the economy worsens.

Information technology (IT) professionals are among those who are most in demand, partly because they are assigned to more important and integral corporate tasks and projects, so companies are less likely to immediately let them go.

TrueBridge Resources focuses on helping organizations identify critical needs in IT and professional back office staffing, then bridges the gap with professional candidates who can be immediately effective within an organization. TrueBridge partners with clients across a broad spectrum of industries to help find professionals on a contract, contract-to-

hire or full-time basis.

“We saw the growing need for organizations to use contracted professionals as a human resources and overall business strategy, especially in today’s dynamic work environment,” says Scott Kriscovich, president of TrueBridge Resources. “The biggest issues facing U.S. companies now and for the next two decades are a shortage of talented professionals and the growing costs of recruiting and training employees. We help companies engage candidates with proven professional experience for specialized skills. While perhaps needed only for a certain project or initiative, trained and highly-proficient support is critical during that period of time.”

By bringing in specialized talent on a contract basis, companies can be highly competitive. Barry Asin, chief analyst of Staffing Industry Analysts, says that one of the reasons temporary staffing is so popular with U.S. corporations is because of its flexibility. Companies can use temporary help to expand or shrink staffing levels to respond to economic conditions without the complications of hiring and firing permanent employees.

TrueBridge Resources helps companies make sense of these profound workplace changes. Its particular expertise is in placing skilled resources as business analysts; instructional designers and trainers; data architects, modelers and analysts; ERP (functional and technical); application developers (e.g., Java, .Net, C#, UI Design); project analysts, coordinators and managers; quality assurance professionals and testers; and financial analysts and accountants.

The need for top talent is greater than ever, yet this is the most challenging environment for filling critical, senior-level positions. Working with a professional staffing company like TrueBridge Resources allows organizations to better manage and reduce costs by paying for the right talent at the right time.
