OUR OBSESSION “To assist our clients in meeting their business objectives by identifying and delivering the necessary human resources to their organization.” WORKING WITH US Our work with our clients and our associates is important to every member of the Fast Switch team. It's important for you to understand our philosophy of working with our clients and our associates. WORKING WITH OUR CLIENTS In working with our clients, we structure everything we do on the following operating principles: Relate Honestly and Truthfully ... set the proper, real expectation to ensure client satisfaction and simply tell the truth at all times Profile Thoroughly ... understand the skills, experience, and expectations of the position we are trying to fill Search Diligently ... proactively “mine” for candidates where others don't Present Conservatively ... present only qualified candidates and highlight strengths and weaknesses WORKING WITH OUR ASSOCIATES We are obsessed with continuing to support an environment where people want to continue to work for us ... for the rest of their career. This requires that we reduce turnover by: ... keeping overhead low so we can pay the most while still charging market rates ... humanizing benefits, continuing education, and associate development policies ... participative management We asked our staff to tell us why candidates were uniquely attracted to a career at Fast Switch or to work with us in advancing their career through the use of our executive search services. Their answers were: "I feel comfortable talking to candidates about our clients when discussing job opportunities because they are real clients, and the opportunities we offer are real too, not just some job request that comes from a subcontracting house broadcast list." "Our open book policy with clients allows candidates to get a fair deal." "At Fast Switch, our consultants are more than just a name ... they are a face and a member of the Fast Switch "family". At Fast Switch, we recognize that our biggest asset is our people and we make an effort to let our consultants know this. Without our consultants, we would not have a business and we acknowledge this as a company. We treat our employees as the value add that they truly are…not just as a means to an end. Fast Switch is also very flexible with the different benefits it provides to its consultants (i.e. benefits, retirement saving with company match, etc.). The benefits/perks that a consultant can receive is specific to the needs/desires of that particular person. Fast Switch does not try to pigeon-hole its employees into a plan that does not work for them." "We engage candidates with our no strings attached, no non-compete, and "flat organization" flexibility ... not by confusing legalities, fine print and organizational hierarchies." "My favorite line to any new recruiter that joins our recruiting team (a potential peer) is "Fast Switch is the best kept secret of Columbus" - I mean it. Behind the unassuming, "cute", casual environment lies a professional and quality conscious company staffing IT professionals and top executives for large automotive giants, banking mammoths, well known software makers, and research organizations. I cannot remember a time when I was bored. Fast Switch is the SAS of small businesses. I say that because SAS was listed for the 8th straight year by Fortune magazine among the "100 Best Companies to Work For" and one of their winning points has been workplace flexibility. The extent of workplace flexibility I have, my friends can only dream of." "Respect for individuality is an integral part of the Fast Switch culture. I experience it every day." CONTACT
