OperationIT.com Merges With Staff IT

Provides staffing specialists with “The Best of Both Worlds”

NEW YORK, NY – March 22, 2001 – www.OperationIT.com and its parent company Staff IT, Inc. have fully merged into a new staffing entity to be known as OperationIT “The Technology Sourcing Management Company”.

Staff IT, Inc. a leading IT staffing firm based in New York city and www.OperationIT.com a leading IT career site have joined forces to focus on developing their performance based internet recruiting models.  The main objective of the new enterprise will be its established Career Center which competes directly with other top IT career sites, its new PFP(Pay For Placement) center that only charges corporate clients once a placement has been made and the Staffing Exchange which is a new service designed for staffing firms to market their best talent and give them the ability to work on “Split” placements and corporate job orders to increase revenues. 

The new OperationIT is separating itself from the current mix of job boards by offering performance based pricing models in addition to its subscription based Career Center. The new OperationIT will be powered by its latest version of its TSMS (Technology Sourcing Management System) software.

“The complete merger of Staff IT, Inc. and www.operationIT.com provides recruiters and staffing specialists with “The Best of Both Worlds.”  The reach, traffic and unparalleled software of www.OperationIT.com and the personal touch, expertise and recruiting services of Staff IT. The new OperationIT offers three very distinct types of staffing services that can accommodate every staffing need imaginable for both staffing firms and corporate recruiters. The current mix of career sites are essentially static job boards that make the client pay a monthly fee regardless if they fill their open job orders or not. OperationIT is the next evolution in online recruiting and will offer recruiting professionals the choice of a subscription based model or performance based model.”, said Jim Ivon, CEO and founder of the company.

“We are no longer focusing on advertising that drives traffic just to increase the number of hits on our site.  Our main objective for 2001 is to increase the number of qualified candidates being sent to job openings and more importantly to increase the number of successful placements being made at our clients.  For the past several months we have been focusing our resources away from external advertising and marketing to internal development of our TSMS software and the results are showing.  We have increased the number of resumes going to jobs by over 300% since last fall”, said Ivon.
