originally agreed upon service points: pay rate, availability, job duties, reference information,
employment requirements, and timeframe of position. We believe this continual and mutual
EDGE and Candidate commitment is paramount to immediate success for our consultants before

6. Recruiting and Account Management Best Practices
EDGE’s Account Team is dedicated to meeting the needs of our client’s hiring managers,
ensuring their success by providing the most qualified consultants available in the market today in
a timely and cost-effective manner. Our focus on attention to detail and follow-up truly separates
us from the other staffing suppliers in the industry. In today’s dynamic IT and technical markets,
identifying the candidate that exhibits the required technical skills coupled with a
cultural/environmental fit requires an organization that is focused on the quality of a candidate
not just speed to market.
An experienced Account Manager (AM) is assigned to each EDGE client to provide a
consultative approach to understanding their technical staffing needs. Whenever possible, our
Account Managers take a pro-active approach, building contractor usage profiles for key client
hiring managers, and initiate on-going candidate searches to locate hard-to-find skills across a
broad spectrum of candidate resources. EDGE Account Managers work with our clients on an
ongoing basis to discuss current and upcoming projects as well as forecast future needs,
sometimes several months or quarters away.
Our Technical Recruiters have the resources, training, and extensive candidate network to provide
well-screened, qualified personnel within a variety of technical and business fields such as;
Engineering, Financial, Information Technology, Scientific and Technical. Our recruitment
resources and candidate network are extensive and employ state-of-the-art technologies as we
pride ourselves on being able to find the right candidate for our valued clients. We utilize a
variety of recruiting resources to identify, recruit, and candidates, to include: EDGE “VIP”
Program, HOT List, internal database, referrals, user groups, industry forums, network
associations, teaming partners, and subcontractors.

consultants are our representatives at our clients, and it is our goal to make their employment

effective and professional manner, are our representatives and the face of EDGE on a daily basis
to our client managers. We are dedicated in continuing every effort to ensure their success and
