Recruiting Quality
Our success is largely a result of our ability to quickly recruit and qualify the best available resources. EDGE employs seasoned fulltime recruiters with a total of more than 50 years of experience and dedicated to fulfilling our client’s needs.

The value of this effort is clear - our clients accept 78% of our consultants whom they interviewed.
Employee Base
The majority of our staff are full-time employees and many of our contractors have worked for us on multiple assignments. This combination of “known commodities” contributes greatly to our success rate placing resources. EDGE also relies heavily on our employee base to attract other qualified individuals through our employee referral program. Our outstanding corps of senior consultants affords us a pool of resources we frequently call upon for value-added support to our clients.

We continually monitor market trends to identify fair market consultant pay rates for various skill sets and levels within both geographic and industry markets. Understanding the market enables us to recruit the highest quality employees available and offer them to our customers at competitive rates. Managing consultant retention to minimize turnover keeps our rates stable.
Geographic Alignment
