07Engagement

How do you engage PRI Technology?

PRI offers four ways to engage. Which fits depends on the requirement; the full detail is on the services page.

Consulting and temporary staffing

PRI develops company, department and user profiles to plan for your unique business needs, then screens, interviews, tests and reference-checks each temporary employee. Workers complete comprehensive orientation and performance training before the assignment, so they arrive at your office ready to begin.

How it works →

Contract-to-hire

A consultant works with you for a defined period before you hire them onto your own staff. If you are facing an uncertain budget or staffing situation, a consultant can fill the position until the position or project stabilizes; once circumstances change and the consultant has proved a valuable team member, you can make a permanent hire without reservations.

How it works →

Direct hire

Permanent placement that has to be right the first time. PRI identifies, interviews, screens, tests and reference-checks every candidate before sending them to you, examining education, qualifications, skills, references, experience, demeanor, ethics and personality.

How it works →

Executive search

In every executive search PRI becomes your business partner, placing qualified professionals in mid- to senior-level positions. Searches are conducted in human resources, information technology, accounting and finance, and administrative support, in a confidential and timely manner.
