Resource 1, Inc. was founded in 1982 with the goal of delivering outstanding IT staffing and consulting services. Our number one priority is in building long-term relationships with quality technology professionals and highly reputable organizations. We are proud to be part of a company that aspires to be a true partner, helping people achieve their objectives and representing them in the marketplace with honesty and integrity. Our success is built on a careful balance of time-tested strategies and innovative tactics that keep us ahead of evolving industry standards. Where many IT staffing and services firms turn to the default business model of transactional relationships, we go one step further, transforming our pursuit of perfection into superior IT talent acquisition.Throughout my career, my focus has been on building solid, long term relationships with technology executives at all levels from Manager to CIO. My approach has always been to listen to my clients to gain an understanding of their business and technology goals, as well as the company culture, so that we can provide them with the ideal technical resources to successfully complete their IT projects. I have been at Resource 1 for over 23 years and have delivered technology staffing solutions to midsize and large clients in the Chicago area and across the U.S. I have experience providing both contract and contract to hire resources across all functions of the IT organization, including Application Design/Development, BI/ETL/EDW, Systems/Network Engineering, Project Management, Business Analysis and Quality Assurance/Testing. I have a strong understanding of the IT landscape and the challenges that hiring managers face in getting the right talent. During my extensive tenure in this industry, I have seen nearly every situation and can provide substantial value to the clients I partner with. It is a great feeling to help the client and find the right opportunity for the consultant. I get a lot satisfaction in matching the right resources with the right client and project. Resource 1 has been in business for 40 years and many of the core people on our team have been here for over 20 years. The people at Resource 1 is what makes us different. We have a great team and take a tremendous amount of pride in the quality of service we provide to both our consultants and our clients.
