Smith Johnson Tech Has the Answers

Why should I use Smith Johnson services instead of filling the position on my own?

Our team of recruiters constantly work for you sourcing, screening and presenting qualified candidates. This is what we do every day, which gives us the edge in vetting out employees who will do the job for you. Our job is to recruit for you so you can maintain business, increase profits, retain and develop staff and take care of your customer needs.

What types of positions do you specialize in?
Smith Johnson has been in the IT contracting and placement business since 1993. We specialize in all IT-related positions. We have helped clients fill all levels of IT Management positions as well as positions in applications development, systems administration and technical support. If it’s an IT position, we can help you fill it.
What services do you provide?
Smith Johnson specializes in contracting and direct hire placement. We have many clients who prefer to use the Contract-to-Hire model to fill their needs. Contact a Smith Johnson representative to discuss the benefits of each method and help choose what’s right for your company and needs.
What are our fees?
We keep our overhead low so our pricing is very competitive. Full-time hires are generally billed at a percentage of first year salary while contract and contract-to-hire positions are billed hourly based on the consultant’s experience level and benefits cost. Rate breakdowns are available upon request.

How big is Smith Johnson?
Smith Johnson is large enough to take care of our clients and small enough to provide personalized care to our clients and candidates. We are locally owned which allows us to make quick decisions to meet changing industry needs. Our lower operating costs allow us to pass savings on to our clients.
What makes Smith Johnson different from other recruiting or contracting companies?

Smith Johnson is open and honest with our clients and associates. Our officers have worked as IT Contractors and Consultants and have used their experience to create policies and procedures that foster a partnership atmosphere that is absent in many recruiting/contracting companies. Smith Johnson strives to create and maintain long-standing relationships with our clients to become your trusted hiring partner.

Are you going to overwhelm my hiring managers with résumés?
Absolutely not! Smith Johnson picks our top 3 or 4 candidates for any given opening. We don’t see any point in sending 20 or 30 candidates to a hiring manager, which causes extra work for them instead of simplifying the hiring process. We have an excellent submission-to-hire ratio which also cuts down on the work of hiring managers. If you don’t get what you need from us the first time, our skilled client representatives will work with you to refine our search criteria and make sure we send you the best candidates.
What does your candidate search and qualification process consist of?
Smith Johnson recruiters are trained in all industry standard recruiting procedures. We screen for personality and corporate culture fit as well as skill fit and long-term goals. Our clients can request specific technical assessments, background checks, drug screening, education verification or reference checks to match their internal hiring requirements. We’re here to help make the hiring process easier.
How long does it take to hire candidates?
Time to hire depends on many factors. Those factors include your hiring timelines, skills required, screening requirements and your process for candidate selection. Positions requiring commonly available skills can take as little as 1-3 days to submit candidates. More difficult or uncommon skill sets can take longer. Our average search and qualification time is 1-3 days with most hires happening within 2 weeks. We’re ready and willing to move as quickly as our clients need and we’re in it for the long haul on those more complicated positions that could take an extended amount of time searching.
What can I expect when my company partners with Smith Johnson?
Smith Johnson strives to deliver the top candidates at the best price in the time frame you need them. Our goal is to build a long-term relationship. You can expect personal contact from a dedicated Smith Johnson representative, honest feedback about your jobs and our candidates, quick and precise billing and flexibility when you need it. We’re here to help your company succeed.
