DLS Solutions is a full-service staffing firm working with a broad range of clients within the technology, marketing, finance and consulting markets. We partner with clients to afford access to top information technology talent, across a multitude of employment options.
We specialize in the following areas:
Management Consulting and Business Development
DLS Solutions affords clients access to business professionals who understand fundamental business principals and statistics which are crucial for successfully driving business. These leaders have extensive experience through the full development cycle of emerging businesses and have successfully lead efforts across many lines of business.
Web Development and Architecture
We provide access to senior, web-centric developers and architects who have a wide breadth of industry experience, coupled with business acumen. These professionals are able to digest business objectives and end-user requirements, and design technical solutions across the full life cycle of development (client side and server side).
Network Infrastructure
DLS Solutions sources the most experienced infrastructure specialists who excel at defining requirements, creating network architecture effective in supporting business objectives, and understanding the need for an architecture that is cost effective today, yet scalable for tomorrow.
Database Development and Administration
We’ll connect you with professionals who understand the fundamental need for databases which run optimally, are able to handle the inherent issues associated with a full web presence and have specific connectivity for data exchange. These professionals know that development and administration of your database(s) is the most critical component in the success of a web-based company.
We offer a variety of employment options:
Staff Supplementation
This solution is a means of limiting client project costs and involves providing consulting staff on a negotiated hourly bill rate basis to perform tasks mutually agreed upon by DLS Solutions and the client.
Collaborative Staffing
This hybrid service aids clients with large projects and affords them complete project control. It balances the features of staffing supplementation and project outsourcing. It frequently involves specialized teams that are a mix of senior experts and solid technical consultants. As in the case of staff supplementation, all consultants perform tasks that are managed by the client, but supervised by a DLS Solutions team leader. This solution utilizes a negotiated bill rate that can be equalized between the highest paid skills and the lowest, reflecting a more level billing rate across the project.
Business Consulting Staffing
This ‘virtual e-consulting’ method is most effective when a client is looking to outsource an entire project. Rather than pay a large project management fee, DLS Solutions allows clients to ‘in-source’ the project, reducing overall costs and bringing complete project control to the client. DLS Solutions has made significant investments in developing alliance relationships that provide access to the most proficient and knowledgeable high-level business/IT consultants in the area. Once the senior consultant ensures overall business objectives will be met, DLS Solutions will provide further cost reductions by providing the precise contract staff needed to complete the project.
Direct Staff Development
When clients need access to senior level Information Technology personnel on a full-time basis, DLS Solutions will bill clients at an agreed upon placement fee, usually a percentage of the first year’s salary. A 90-day guarantee is offered for this service.
We use proven methods of attraction and retention:
Candidate Identification
DLS Solutions attracts the area’s best Information Technology professionals in a variety of ways—referrals, online database houses, technical organizations and reference checks. Our vast contact network enables us to attract quality candidates referred by other qualified professionals.
Behavioral Interviewing
We begin the hiring process with a face-to-face interview designed to select only the most qualified candidates in each skill set. The behavioral interview allows DLS Solutions to evaluate the candidate’s personality traits, self-esteem, past successes and failures, and commitment to seeking a new place of employment. Additionally, we gain an understanding of the candidate’s expectations for acceptable working environments and aspirations for future career growth.
Technical Screening
DLS Solutions understands the need for a testing tool that effectively evaluates candidates from a technical standpoint. For this reason, we have partnered with Reviewnet to provide clients with a skill test that is reviewed and validated by the hiring manager and is an effective measure of technical expertise.
Reference Checking
DLS Solutions requires each candidate to provide three, recent direct supervisors as references. Each reference is asked a series of questions to measure past performance from many standpoints. Through effective referencing, we are able to understand the strengths and weakness of each candidate, personality traits and ability to impact client’s projects.
