Recruitment Solutions to fit you We specialise in providing software, comms and infrastructure resources throughout the project lifecycle. We offer a range of service levels and supply options, which means we can tailor our staffing solutions around your needs and commercial parameters;
- Limited Duration Staffing Services
This allows you access to specialist CIS professionals on a short term ad hoc contract basis, giving you the flexibility to resource up and down as the needs of the project dictate
- Work package solutions
A work package solution is a fixed price ‘packaged’ resourcing service, this type of service is ideal for clients who want resources to achieve very clearly defined project deliverables within specific timeframes. This type of solution eliminates the head count issues and employment risks associated with conventional contingency staffing and gives you the assurance of on time and on budget project resourcing.
- Project Teams
For large, mission critical projects it is often best to resource a full project team on a contract or combined contract and permanent basis. Certes have successfully sourced a number of multi skilled teams for many projects of this nature.
- Turnkey staffing
This service has been developed for clients wanting to reduce the cost and risks associated with conventional contract resources, using Employed consultants. IT consultants of all levels employed by Certes can be supplied on either a permanent or fixed-term basis. This type of service will provide up to 20% reductions in the average cost of contract labour, and completely remove the burden of resource management.
