Fortitude Systems

Fortitude Systems is a highly successful technical staffing firm headquartered out of Austin, Texas, with locations in Chicago and Washington, D.C. The company looks forward to opening two additional branches in Boston and Seattle in the near future. Fortitude uses a proven screening process to place skilled professionals at companies of all sizes in a number of fields, including engineering, telecommunications, information technology, and business applications. Fortitude Systems sets itself apart from other technical staffing firms in several ways. To begin with, the firm takes the time to get to know its client companies, including the unique needs, goals, and culture of each organization. This allows Fortitude to find the best candidate for the position. The firm maintains a proprietary database that is constantly updated by the company’s recruiters. Ninety percent of professionals in the database are candidates who have been referred to Fortitude Systems by clients or past and present consultants. Unlike other staffing firms, which use job boards to locate candidates, Fortitude’s approach enables recruiters to find clients the most qualified individual for the job, rather than the person most in need of a job. In addition, Fortitude Systems goes to great lengths to ensure the candidates it provides to clients are properly screened in advance. The firm’s recruiters carefully review each resume, perform supervisory reference checks, interview candidates in person, and administer technical assessments, all before referring the applicant to its clients. By taking these measures, Fortitude allows clients to focus their time and effort solely on candidates who are highly qualified and have a thorough understanding of what the position entails.
