What are the advantages of working with a Certified Recruiter?
Certified Recruiters have taken the extra step to provide their candidates and clients with "leading edge" expertise, making their services even more valuable in an ever-changing market. The Certified Personnel Consultant (CPC) and a Certified Temporary Staffing Specialist (CTS) designation that follows an individuals name is the industry's badge of professionalism and seal of excellence. It is recognized as the staffing industry's highest standard, and it is the public's assurance of quality service. Certification assures the following:

What areas of the country do you serve?
We have a staffing practice serving clients all over the US. Since the markets in which we specialize are in such high-demand, where experienced consultants are in such in low supply, our clients recognize that the best resources are seldom found locally. At the same time, our consultants understand the need to be "road warriors" to be able to work as consultants in their markets.

Does your company work with independent contractors?
When the best consultant for a project is an independent contractor, we gladly work with him or her to provide our clients the best possible service. However, whenever possible, we prefer to work with W-2 staff or hourly employees (since that is the preference of most of our clients).

Does your firm provide permanent placement services?
Yes, we do. Whitaker Consulting is a division of The Whitaker Companies, the roots of which are in the executive search business. We have successfully differentiated ourselves from IT contract services firms by applying our depth of knowledge in permanent search services to the contract market. We have dedicated personnel who work this market exclusively and provide top-quality candidates to our clients who request these services.
