Tools & Touch

Technology recruiting is both a science and an art.

It can be very black and white. Maybe your company needs a C# developer with 5 years of financial applications experience. Our online tools can help you find that person.

But a search is usually more complex than that. For instance, what if the same C# developer you're looking for needs to be a certain kind of leader, too? What if you need just the right guy to motivate a department of talented but disjointed programmers? Identifying good candidates at that level takes a conversation, and a handshake. It takes a professional with the training and experience to uncover the real person behind the resume.

Every Jobspring and Workbridge recruiter spend his or her day meeting with people, looking them in the eye, to understand their skills and needs. Armed with the data our tools provide, and with the real-world insight they've developed as experienced recruiters, our recruiters help companies identify the right set of candidates, faster and more efficiently than those companies ever could on their own.

It's through this combined application of art and science that both Jobspring and Workbridge are able to deliver hiring value that's truly unique.

The Power of Teams

The vast majority of our industry works on a proprietary model. Recruiting is a business that's all about putting together relationships—so it can be quite lucrative to be the one guy who holds the keys to the right series of connections. That's why recruiters can seem so secretive and sometimes, even exclusionary. They're simply protecting their source of income.

The problem is, proprietary recruiting doesn't work very well for either job seekers or hiring managers. It limits the range of opportunities for both.

The Stride family of placement agencies was founded on the belief that our industry could do better.

Our agencies are built around the placement team, not the individual recruiter. Resumes, clients and compensation structures are all shared. Hiring managers and job seekers all benefit from across-the-board access, and exposure.

To make sure that we stay true to this philosophy, we've built our company around a strict approach to our own hiring and career development practices. Our system can only work if it's in the right hands.

Evolution: Our Legacy Recruiting Network

Together, our two placement firms operate 18 offices in 10 different US cities.

Jobspring and Workbridge represent the consolidation of Stride's legacy network of recruiting & placement agencies. Previously, the Stride network was known by 5 different brand names. You may have known us as Atlantis Partners, The Boylston Group, MacArthur Associates, Napier Partners, or Remington International.

In March, 2009, new corporate leadership consolidated these 5 companies into the new Jobspring and Workbridge brands. Focusing our service and support energies on two entities rather than five – while maintaining the same market footprint – will significantly enhance Stride's ability to provide excellent service and results to both job seekers and hiring managers. Jobspring and Workbridge represent a bold new direction for the Stride network of technology placement agencies.

We'd love to work with you, and show you what the new Jobspring and Workbridge are all about.
