HomeA little about us.
Our goal is to be deserving of the title "expert", and you simply can't be an expert at everything.
So we focus on one thing - ERP talent delivery. We turn on the lights every morning,
make coffee, and execute a proven ERP talent delivery process, honed over thousands of contract placements - evolving
every day, and focused in our niche. Best in class, progressive, effective - ERP talent delivery.
Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
Why we win.
A look inside the machine.
Inside the very best machines are inspired design, uncluttered and exacting parts of the whole. It's these refined tools and processes that allow us to win, the reason we are deserving of a call - the reason you'll be glad you offered us a chance to see how we compare to your current partners. Take a look...
Quality Process
You didn't hire us as a resume forwarding service. We do the leg-work: multiple interviews, technical screens by experts, detailed reference checks - all just a portion of our quality process.
Transparency
The best business models - the best companies - look just as good in the light as they do in the dark. We are proud to share all aspects of our business with our clients. Margins, screening process, favorite colors.... anything.
Resumes Aren't People
We have access to consultants others do not. Like GlobalSource IT, the best consultants are selective. They choose to work with us because we’re fair, honest, and have the industry’s best sourcing team.
Known Resources
Do you know who's behind the resume? We do, because our Resource Managers have an average tenure of over 8 years. That's more than twice the industry average, doing highly specific ERP recruiting. They have developed thousands of relationships, and understand the people, the market, and the skills at play.
Response Time
Our network is established and ready to go to work at any moment. We have the capacity to deliver fully vetted resources within 24-48 hours of request. One or a dozen - we're ready to meet the need. (Sleep is over-rated anyway.)
No
Seriously, no. We're ok with saying it. If you need a Java consultant, call your general IT shop. If you need an SAP expert, call us.
Retention
Our consultants stay the full duration of assignments. The reasons? They receive more than 75% of the billing rate, and understand the assignment details. They also have clear contractual commitments, and choose the projects they're deployed to.
Trade Secrets
We lead the industry when it comes to innovative ways to bring you ERP talent. Want to hear more? Contact one of our team members to hear more about how we can improve your talent acquisition.
Why work with us?
At GlobalSource IT, our Resource Managers focus exclusively on cultivating relationships with the most talented ERP professionals in the market. To us, consultants are our customers.
Our goal is to build and maintain a long-term relationship with you, in order to find the ideal opportunities that match your skill set and assist in your career growth.
Known Resources
We have an ERP-focused resource management team with the best tools and processes, making us the leader in the industry. This makes your project search easier for you.
We know what’s behind the resumes, since our Resource Managers have an average tenure of over 8 years of ERP experience. That’s more than twice the industry average, doing highly specific ERP Recruiting. We have the ability to provide professional guidance and support, such as resume crafting to highlight applicable experience and in-depth interview preparation. The better you are prepared the better your chances are of landing that project.
Honesty
Ever been told by other firms that a project was 6-12 months, only to find out it was just 3 months? We believe in candor and transparency throughout the relationship, from the beginning.
Honest and open communication between Resource Managers and candidates means full disclosure of project details: who the client is, the location, the nature of the business, and the length of the project. Giving you as much information as possible will only help in determining whether or not the project is a good technical and cultural fit. It only works for us, if it works for you. We’re in this for the long haul, and our reputation is paramount.
Ongoing Relationships
Our goal is to build long-term relationships with our consultants. We have proactive next-project marketing. This would mean ongoing work for you.
Once you are placed on a project, your relationship with our Resource Managers does not stop there. Through continuous project follow-up, we maintain contact with you to see how the project is progressing and how you are doing. We also have a 24-hour Issue Resolution Plan that will allow you to speak to our Resource Managers, Sales Directors, or internal contacts to help in resolving any problems or concerns you may have.
ERP Only
We know sap comes from trees and SAP is Systems Application Products.
GlobalSource IT has been around since 1998 and we have ALWAYS specialized in ERP and this is ALL that we do. We have a core team who is familiar with the industry and the technologies involved. This allows us to truly match the right candidates to the right positions.
Direct Clients
Layers are for cakes. We work directly with Fortune 1000 companies, putting more money in your pocket!
We work with over 200 Fortune 1000 companies, and that list is growing every week. These direct client relationships also lead to more interviews and placements. Direct client/manager relationships mean that we are able to better qualify the client’s need and control the delivery process. What does this mean for you? A higher probability of us securing a project for YOU.

At the end of the day, our success as an organization is a result of the emphasis we place on relationships we build with partners across the globe. I’m incredibly proud to be surrounded by a team that puts far more effort into doing the right thing by our clients, than monitoring the bottom line. Our business is defined by the people found throughout this site, and the hundreds of consultants who represent us across the nation.
- Married to a wonderful woman, and together they have a most precious little girl, Elliot.
- Thinks jumping out a perfectly good airplane is absurd, mostly because he’s spent gobs of time learning how to land them (and he can, just ask Chad).
- Spends the vast majority of his free time "convincing" trout to eat a hook made of thread and feathers. (Trout are scientifically proven to have pea-sized brains, Mark wonders why he doesn’t win the battle more often?)
- Once found himself standing between Newt Gingrich and Dick Armey at a cocktail party. (In his mind, that pretty much made him 4th in line of Presidential succession if things went really south- it was a good night.)

Having been in the staffing industry for over 8 years, I have learned a great deal about various industries and ERP- but there is always more to learn. I am grateful to have such a wonderful team to work with and clients that I truly enjoy. I believe that I cannot be successful until my clients are.

I have been in the industry for almost 5 years. With the complexity of this industry, it is great to have a firm like us on your side with our integrity, our Midwest style, and straight-forward approach. Understanding the ins and outs of the ERP space is something that I am continuing to strive for success in. I believe that a sale is not something you pursue, but it’s what happens when you are engaged in serving your business partner.

A sales consultant with more than 20 years of experience who believes that no matter what you're selling, the most important part of the process is to make everyone involved feel important and valued. From the CEO to the food service coordinator, everybody contributes to the success of a company. The two keys to my individual success are working hard and having fun. In the words of Dale Carnegie, "People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing." Or to quote another famous author, Dr. Seuss, "Fun is good."
- At 11 years old, saved enough money from paper route to fund half of the cost of a $2,000 organ (the musical kind, not a heart or lung).
- Knows all the words to Rapper's Delight by the Sugarhill Gang.

I grew up playing sports, and I still think about how cool it would be to play in the World Series. Those past experiences have taught me so much about teamwork, determination, attitude, and passion- all which have rounded me into the salesperson I am today. I want to win, not just for me, but for everyone involved from the client-down. There’s nothing better than giving a high-five to a colleague after knowing you helped satisfy a need. The World Series will have to wait, I have orders to fill.
