For more than three decades, Elite Technical has been a trusted partner for IT staff augmentation across the United States. Staffed by subject matter experts with in-the-trenches technology experience, the firm’s senior technical recruiting team understands both the nuances of technical skills and the sometimes-unspoken needs of hiring managers. As a result, this certified woman-owned small business enterprise, and senior technical recruiting team, has placed 4,500+ technical professionals with more than 400 of the nation’s leading companies.

In addition to federal and state government, Elite Technical serves the aerospace, automotive, finance, healthcare, legal, media and broadcasting, medical device industries. The firm meets the market with flexible engagement models, including contract, contract-to-hire, direct placements, SOW, MSA, and/or subcontracting arrangements.

“Ensuring a trustworthy reputation became the rudder for our business on Day One,” said Joseph Monaco, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “Each day, we make sure that clients and candidates see us as highly credible and competent, trust in our integrity, and rely on our expertise. Our commitment to transparency at all levels helped us build longstanding relationships with clients, candidates, and colleagues alike.”

The firm’s focus on integrity, accountability, and compliance is paramount in guiding every placement and partnership.

“We are grateful for the longevity of our sales, recruiting, and back-office teams,” said Donna Keller, President and CEO. “Half of our corporate employees have been with us for 15 to 33 years. Their longstanding industry experience and institutional memory translates to excellent service for our clients, and many contractors return to us for future engagements.” This level of talent retention is remarkable in an industry in which turnover is estimated above 30% annually.

Merging Technology with Human Intelligence

Elite Technical combines heavy investment in technology, artificial intelligence, and recruiting resources with the human ability to forge trust with technical professionals nationwide, while engaging with active and passive candidates to ensure a highly competent and diverse talent pool.

“Supported by AI and a robust proprietary Applicant Tracking System (ATS) of personally pre-screened candidates, our recruiters concentrate on building meaningful relationships, which ultimately improves candidate and hiring manager experiences,” added Mr. Monaco. “Before submitting candidates, our team conducts detailed interviews, along with deep technical and behavioral assessments, to verify each candidate’s ability to meet technical criteria and fit into each client’s workplace culture.”

The firm’s focus on integrity, accountability, and compliance is paramount in guiding every placement and partnership. Elite Technical collaborated in developing SubmittalCheckTM, an industry-first “Right-to-Represent” platform that ensures ethics, accuracy, and transparency with every candidate submittal, reduces post-offer withdrawals, and provides clients with detailed candidate information.

Case in Point

This balance of technical innovation and personal insight delivers results. For instance, when a federal health insurance company transitioned from mainframe technology to big data and cloud platforms, Elite Technical staffed 400 positions, with dedicated recruiting staff allocated to support ongoing client needs.

Driving the Future with Purpose and Vision

While also filling non-technical positions upon request, Elite Technical remains committed to its niche focus on the technology sector and reputation as an employer of choice, while a plethora of positive reviews and its corporate giving program, Recruit for Your Cause, supports ongoing talent cultivation. In addition, the Elite Technical Jobs App (available at the Apple App Store and Google Play) works hand-in-glove with recruiters. Candidates also can easily apply for positions at EliteTechnicalJobs.com, where they can explore online job alerts and make referrals.

Known for business agility and attention to detail, Elite Technical operates eight U.S. locations, including its corporate headquarters in Ronkonkoma, New York.
