Here is a recent press release for the newest upcomming industry standard for IT engagement resourcing.

Announcing The Quality Certified Candidate™ Program
Unified Technology Associates, LLC is pleased to announce our premier technical staffing program; the Quality Certified Candidate, because reputation is more than a resume™. This newest standard in technical staffing allows us to place highly qualified candidates that are scored with scientific backing on success probability and are proven in their field. This is then presented in a simple to understand quality score, much like your credit score.

Why Quality Certified Candidates™?
Hiring a temporary technical resource is a very daunting ordeal. Critical resources must spend time heavily reviewing resumes and interviewing to ensure that they get the right resource. If you rely too heavily on the recruiter or the one interview with a refined personality, you risk accepting a resource that won't succeed on your project due to lack of skill, capabilities, or collaboration.

A Quality Certified Candidate™ removes this risk from the hiring manager and allows the candidate to separate themselves from the crowd. We match your exact project needs and team dynamics with the candidate's quality score. The higher the score the better qualified the candidate is for your engagement. The hiring manager is easily able to distinguish the proper candidate for their needs and budget.

How it works.
Our proprietary process identifies five critical points of success for any engagement and applies an overall score which is a representation of the candidate's skill and real world reputation of those skills. This score includes measures of problem solving, collaboration skills, technical skill level, and learning style.

The fifth measure is a Quality Certified Reference™ loop. This loop is a full disclosure reference check in a group setting. No other staffing agency takes this extra step to become this intimate with their candidates. This deep feedback is used to supplement the quality score and provide the candidate insight into their perceptions so that they can further their careers. All of our candidates have career paths with our company that go to Senior Partnerships and receive mentoring and career counseling.

This intimacy allows us to place a one of a kind guarantee on our candidates. A guarantee that the resource we place will be successful on your project1. Our candidates submit to our voluntary full disclosure process because they have nothing to hide. They also know the power, and challenge, of presenting a great reputation which will differentiate them as the best resource.
