From all of us at Next Step Systems, we hope you and your family continue to stay well and safe. I wanted to reach out to the executives in the Human Resources group in your company for an update.

We recognize these are unprecedented times for all of us. Some of our best clients in the Illinois area are still hiring hard-to-find IT candidates for their IT openings. We help companies throughout the Illinois area and across the country with information technology recruiting needs. I wanted to see if we can help your company in any way with your technical staffing needs now or in the future. To find out more about our services in the Illinois area, click here.

We work with all levels of Information Technology Professionals.

We recruit for C++, Java, C#, ASP, .Net, Linux, UNIX, SQL Server, Sybase, Oracle, Python, Cisco, etc.

We specialize in finding high-quality candidates for a range of information technology jobs, including Software Engineers, Programmers, Network Engineers, Systems Engineers, Quantitative Analysts and all levels of Management.

We stay in tune with the staffing industry trends and facts during the Covid-19 pandemic. Here is some survey information from an article in a staffing industry publication from July 29, 2020:

“The survey found 77.1% of employers are struggling to find qualified talent. In addition, 39.0% of employers said “receiving unqualified/irrelevant applicants” was their No. 1 challenge when recruiting through a job board. Also, 38.1% said “finding qualified candidates in my area” was their main concern. Still, when it comes to hiring, 72.8% of employers said they were actively hiring despite the pandemic.

For job applicants, 18.8% said they were most frustrated by not hearing back from employers after applying or interviewing. And iHire noted that employers will face more of a challenge getting back to applicants because of “mass applies” from unemployed workers.

The survey also found 21.5% of candidates said they first go to industry-specific platforms when searching for a job, up from 17.1% in a similar survey in 2019. Included in the survey were 343 employers and 2,841 job seekers across 56 different industries.”
