January 25, 2009 – Rolling Meadows, IL- Getmetherightjob.com is an “employee advocate” firm founded with the express purpose of addressing the needs of IT professionals seeking new temp, contract and permanent opportunities.  GetMeTheRightJob.com was founded to help high quality IT professionals seeking full-time and contract opportunities develop portfolios and career marketing strategies that enable them to stand-out and negotiate directly with employers.

“Unemployment is close to 10% nationally, yet there is still incredible demand for SharePoint, .NET and Business Intelligence expertise,” said Velu Palani, CEO and president of GetMeTheRightJob.com.

The demand for IT talent is being driven by a number of factors including organizational investment in new projects, a dramatic reduction in the number of IT grads from U.S. colleges and pending baby boomer retirements.  The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates demand for IT workers in the U.S. will increase by 25% from 2006-2016 equating to 780,000 new IT jobs. And, according to a Robert Half Technology Survey, 77% of all CIOs polled said it is more challenging to find qualified IT candidates compared to 2007 – especially in IT specialties such as applications development, web development and network administration.

“Because of the demand for these skills is so high, quality applicants can afford to be choosy,” said Palani.  “Unlike other IT recruiting firms, we’ve developed a unique business model that puts the power back into the hands of the applicants. Job Seekers that use GetMeTheRightJob.com receive a complete briefing and complete dossier on the marketplace, potential employers, the history of the employer’s organization, and, if available, information about the hiring manager(s). We also guarantee a call back within 24 business hours. All of this is detailed in our Job Seeker Bill of Rights.”

“Our approach also allows IT hiring managers to reduce job search costs by 80% or more and increase the quality of the candidate pool,” said Velu Palani, CEO and founder of GetTheRightJob.com. “The IT recruiting process was broken. As engineers, we’ve found ways to improve the process and remove many of the inefficiencies. Employers save time and money because our IT candidates have defined their competencies, are tested, vetted and qualified to hit the ground running.”
