Major Sports Entertainment firm selects Pierce Professional Resources as Vendor of Choice due to its superb candidate quality and fast turn around

The Client
As the marketing and regulatory arm of a major sports entertainment organization, this client ensures the integrity of the parent company’s brand by controlling and monitoring worldwide licensing and distribution of its images and logos that will be used for goods and services.

The Challenge
To meet increased operational demands and maintain efficiency, the client turned to several staffing providers for contract IT talent. After being repeatedly provided with poorly matched IT consultants, the client’s frustration level was high. “Within one week, we had to let three contractors go for performance issues,” said the company’s Director of Business Systems. “On top of that, a new consultant showed up for a position who was a different person than the individual we interviewed by phone and selected the day before.” The client sought to find a consulting partner that delivered what they promised. They turned to Pierce Professional Resources.

The Solution
Pierce Professional Resources began by providing the Business Systems Group with IT professionals including business analysts, PeopleSoft testers and technical writers. Right away, the client noticed a marked improvement in both service level and contractor quality. “From the start, Pierce Professional Resources delivered the right people,” the Director stated. “They make every effort to accommodate our needs, and provide excellent and responsive customer service at competitive rates.”

The Results
Impressed by Pierce Professional Resources’ ability to quickly find the right talent (in one case, the first candidate Pierce Professional Resources submitted on a requirement was immediately hired for the assignment), the Director referred three colleagues to Pierce Professional Resources for their contingent staffing needs. They, too, were very pleased with fast and accurate recruitment services Pierce Professional Resources provided. As a result, the Vice President of IT recommended Pierce Professional Resources to the company’s human resources department, which is responsible for all full-time hiring. Based on its excellent reputation and track record, Pierce Professional Resources was selected as a vendor of choice and now provides the client with contract, contract-to-hire and direct-hire IT recruitment services.
