General business cycles or specific initiatives can often require additional qualified personnel to meet the demand.  It is your advantage to have a firm to turn to for these resources in a consistent manner.  Paragon is different from other firms for staffing with four distinct advantages for you:

1. We are led by a group of IT managers and long term technology consultants.  Many IT staffing firms are led by sales or recruiting personnel who cannot adequately advise you or resolve issues when they arise.  Because we are led by people who have sat in your chair and actually used the tools and processes, we can understand your problems, propose the right resources, recommend solid solutions, and effectively mitigate the risks you face.
2. We employee our consultants, providing a consistent flow of personnel.  Most staffing firms provide people they have subcontracted, and often met the person shortly before they introduce them to you.  We employee and stand behind our personnel, even when they are not working for you.  This means that when you have a recurring need, the same person will often be available either for re-engagement, or to effectively transition a second resource to take care of your important needs.  This reduces your risk.  Additionally, our hiring process is not based purely in client demand – we hire highly qualified, diligent people whenever we come in contact with them.  We have hired employees and they have been idle for the first 90 days, but when engaged are identified as high quality performers that really add value, and are asked for by name on subsequent needs.
3. We offer a no-charge project assessment to make sure your project is on track as part of the engagement.  This is a four part audit that reviews the alignment to the business, project planning, staffing, and methodology.  It will help you assess the plan and performance to increase your ability to meet your goals.
4. We are a project oriented firm that can offer qualified people.  Our consultants have worked projects in a professional, process oriented application lifecycle, and will advise you on best practices.  Our success in projects can become your success!
