Compensation: $45.00 - $50.00 per hour Our History Years ago, SynergisticIT founders Carlos Pinzon and Antonio Proto recognized a significant gap in IT consulting and staffing services. On the one hand there are thousands of staffing firms who overload their clients with resumes that do not come close to meeting client needs. Alternatives-such as global consulting firms with costly layers of bureaucracy-achieve great results, but at a very high price. In response, Carlos and Antonio built a new type of IT staffing company where technical recruiters-all experienced IT professionals-match IT resources to our client's exact job requirements, providing superior talent at a lower cost and far lower risk. Our Mission SynergisticIT's mission is to match great companies with great talent, serving our clients with professionalism, honesty and integrity.
