Corporate Backgrounder
Overview
For more than two decades, MATRIX Resources has connected great people and achieved great solutions. Serving the IT marketplace exclusively, MATRIX is a premier IT staffing and solutions provider to the business community, as well as the preferred partner for career assistance by job seeking IT professionals. We meet the evolving IT services needs of our client companies through a full portfolio of Staffing Solutions, Workforce Solutions, and Professional Services. With offices in Atlanta, Birmingham, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Jacksonville, New York, Phoenix, Research Triangle Park, San Francisco, and Seattle, MATRIX is ranked among the nation’s top IT staffing and services firms by IT Services Business Report Staffing Industry Analysts.

History and Scope
At the core of the MATRIX operation is the spirit of the company’s five founders. Lambert Chandler, Frank Glenn, Bill Gower, Ron McGinty, and John Scarbrough—all former IT professionals themselves—began in 1983 with a vision of matching top-notch professionals with opportunities to use their skills and advance their IT careers. They combined this objective with a commitment to the highest standards of professionalism, integrity, and responsiveness. Their success is evident: When IT professionals were asked to rate the performance of six placement companies, MATRIX ranked No. 1 in 12 of the 16 attributes measured (respect for confidentiality, follow-up, knowledgeable employees, etc.).

MATRIX is different from most staffing firms because it covers a large and diverse range of companies—ranging from small, family-owned operations to the Fortune 500, and a broad range of industries including manufacturing, software development, retail, pharmaceutical, and business services.

MATRIX Services
MATRIX has evolved with the IT industry, becoming an expert resource on today’s technology marketplace. At the same time, the company is always on top of emerging IT trends. The MATRIX idea is that a top-notch candidate is its single greatest asset—an asset whose potential can best be maximized when supported by a number of value-added services. MATRIX provides such services to its candidates—from career counseling to education programs to technical training—so that its pool of candidates reflect the most up-to-date IT disciplines available in the job market.

  • Staffing Solutions
    MATRIX is a premier full-service IT staffing provider for both contract consulting and permanent positions, averaging 2,500 placements yearly. The company maintains an exclusive database currently exceeding 48,000 IT professionals, pre-screened by MATRIX recruiters with face-to-face interviews, reference checks, and skills testing.

    MATRIX is committed to matching the needs of clients and candidates for both permanent placement and contract consulting positions. This is an important distinction for MATRIX from most other staffing firms. MATRIX recognizes in today’s Information Technology industry an ever-increasing need for short-term, project-oriented contract staffing. A company may want only to invest in the specific skills of a high-level technical specialist for a one-time assignment; a candidate may want the freedom to choose his or her projects, one at a time. MATRIX stands behind both with resources for meeting these dynamic needs.

    In addition, MATRIX provides full-service staffing solutions for long-term employment, satisfying the most selective permanent placement requirements of job seekers and businesses alike. The opportunities represent many levels of experience in multiple technologies, including systems design, programming, database design, project management, software engineering, quality assurance, and technical writing.
  • Workforce Solutions
    MATRIX “next generation” Managed Services helps corporations bring order to the process of procuring and managing contingent IT workforces through multiple staffing vendors.

  • Professional Services
    MATRIX offers cost-effective professional services to satisfy a broad array of business needs.
