| TES: The best of both worlds |
July 6, 2006 |
The IT industry is known for its focus on growth and new technology—occasionally at the expense of more effective business models. It’s refreshing when a company comes along with an established track record and an approach to business which is simultaneously adventurous and sensible. Over its 30 year history, recruitment specialist TES has created a blend of entrepreneurial spirit and business sense.
From its origins in the engineering recruitment sector, TES expanded into the I.T. and Telco sectors 13 years ago. Since that time it has made a concerted effort to forge a solid national footprint that provides the full realm of Information Technology Staff Augmentation Services which guarantees quality results when and how customers need them. Today, the company has grown to 90 employees supporting 1,000-plus contractors from nine office locations across Canada and the U.S.
TES encourages innovation and personal development amongst its staff, while reviewing its internal technologies and processes to find new, more efficient ways to service its customers.
TES also understands what many organizations do not: that innovation is only one side of the story.
A measured, mature approach to business is also necessary. “One reason we weathered the dot-com crash is we didn’t put all our eggs in one basket,” explains president Frank Wilson. “You have a fallback position when you have other areas of expertise.” Consequently, TES diversified its business, providing contract and permanent staffing services, while maintaining centres of excellence in different business sectors.
Today the demand for IT staff continues to grow and TES is poised to become one of Canada’s largest High Tech Staff Augmentation firms.
Already anticipating a skills shortage, TES is growing its candidate base through development of its IMAC workers and exploring bringing in skilled IT staff from outside the country.
Wherever it finds candidates, TES will be sure to nurture them and make them part of the family. “We have two customers: the client and the candidate. We have to treat each of them equally well,” says Wilson.
