Company Profile

The Whitaker Companies provides the highest quality temporary, permanent and consulting staffing solutions for a broad range of organizations across the U.S. Our three divisions -- Whitaker Consulting, Whitaker Medical & Whitaker Technical -- provide the best talent for our clients, and the most challenging and rewarding opportunities for our candidates. Since our inception, our methodology has been, and continues to be, the use of executive search techniques to satisfy ALL our clients' staffing needs. We constantly search for the best candidates, not the first available.

Whitaker Consulting

Whitaker Consulting provides the highest-quality staffing solutions for companies and candidates who want the most from today’s information technologies. In business since 1993, we have extensive experience in the industry and have synthesized a unique and successful methodology that is working for our clients and candidates alike:

- By focusing on a narrow segment of the market, we effectively recruit ahead of our clients’ requirements, identifying the experts rather than simply the unemployed. Our first question is not "Who’s available?" but "Who’s the best?"

- We focus on the high-end, high-demand markets for ERP and e-business solutions.

- Far beyond simply matching clients and candidates, we immerse ourselves in their market to become intimately familiar with their technology and its most talented practitioners.

Unlike traditional staff augmentation, we apply intensive search methodologies to the contract marketplace.
We combine our industry’s most powerful tool— search techniques—with extensive familiarity with both technologies and the marketplace to satisfy consulting needs for today’s most challenging IT environments.

The Whitaker Companies has provided the highest quality temporary, permanent and consulting staffing solutions for a broad range of organizations across the US since 1993. Our three divisions: Whitaker Consulting, Whitaker Medical and Whitaker Technical provide the best talent for our clients, and the most challenging and rewarding opportunities for our candidates. In a business where nearly every staffing firm, personnel agency, solutions provider or recruiter will tell you the same thing, here's why we believe we're different:

We don't run ads for positions, garden the Internet, or interview every candidate who contacts us. With a background in recruiting, we employ rigorous search techniques for all positions-permanent, temporary or contract. We focus on a specific range of industries, and on vertical segments within those industries, which enables us to become intimately familiar with the field, the market and the most qualified candidates.
