Highland Advantage

HIGHLAND - A GREAT COMPANY TO WORK FOR

INTEGRITY & RESPECT

Highland is founded by IT professionals.  We’ve been contractors ourselves and we’ve experienced first hand non-responsive contracting companies.  As a result, we’ve made it our mission to treat our employees with respect, professionalism and honesty.  On that we stand.

HIGHER RATES

Due to our long-term approach to the business and our efforts to streamline our back office processing through the use of technology, we are able to pay you a higher percentage of the contract.  We work extremely hard to keep our overhead and administrative costs the lowest in the industry and we pass those savings back to you in the form of higher pay rates.

CAREER GROWTH

Highland returns some of our cost savings to our clients in the form of lower bill rates.  This competitive advantage translates into a growing list of satisfied customers.  Hence, you can leverage Highland’s growth to your career advantage by picking from a strong list of technical opportunities.

TEMP-TO-HIRE

Converting to regular employment with our client is easy. In fact, one year over 30% of our employees converted to regular employment with our clients. We'll help you make the right career move.

CONFIDENTIALITY

We keep your resume in strict confidence and will never present you for an opportunity without your expressed desire to have us do so.  We take the time up front to explain the opportunity to you in detail and answer any questions you may have.  Your career is just as important to us… as it is to you.

FREEDOM OF EMPLOYMENT

Many staffing companies require you to sign a no-compete statement before you are allowed to work for them.  Signing this can severely restrict your future employment opportunities and only serves to benefit the contracting company.  We at Highland do not require our employees to sign these no-compete documents.  We believe that it is our job to offer you the finest employment solution in the marketplace today.  If we fail in that mission, you should have complete freedom to do what’s best for your career.

MANAGEMENT SUPPORT

Every Highland employee is supported by an experienced staff management team, which averages 15+ years of previous management experience.  Our managers work side by side with our employees to make sure they are fully supported on the job site.

CAREER OPTIONS

At Highland we recognize that there are many ways to shape a career.  Whether it is contracting, temp-to-hire or direct hire with our customer, Highland can offer you the solution that works best for you and keeps your career in the fast lane.

"COMMITMENT TO THE EMPLOYEE..."

"What I appreciate most about Highland is their integrity toward their employees – placing the individuals first.  Other companies have abandoned these philosophies for profits and competing in the worldwide marketplace.  Highland has not compromised their commitment to the employee."

Steve Smith, Application Programmer (hired 1996)

"GOING OUT OF YOUR WAY TO REWARD ME.."

"I just wanted to say thank you for giving me the opportunity to work for such a wonderful company as Highland.  I have been with the company for almost a year and I am so happy that I made the choice to come on board.  I feel that not only Highland cares about their employees but you do as well and it shows.  I really appreciate you going out of your way to reward me and acknowledge my efforts where I am currently working.  It has been a pleasure working for you and Highland!"

Kellie Garkow, Customer Support Agent (hired 2004)

 

 

 

"COMPANY THAT CARES ABOUT ME..."

“When I joined Highland, the company was just getting started.  Over the years I have watched the company grow and change.  Despite that growth, they remain a company that cares about the needs of their employees – on a personal and professional level.”

Connie Erickson, Database Services (hired 1994)
