THE CHALLENGE
Our relationship with GEICO began with a single requisition back in 2001. At the time, Global
Technical Talent was just one of more than 100 companies that were all vying for the opportunity to work with GEICO.
The client had experienced continued difficulty finding candidates for a relatively complicated assignment involving a highly
specialized middleware technology application. Several recruitment agencies had made promises to GEICO and then, ultimately,
failed to produce. When the position had been open for three months with no success, the client decided to take Global Technical
Talent up on our challenge and see if we could truly deliver on our promise to fill this position.
OUR SOLUTION
Global Technical Talent's skilled recruiters went to work contacting, interviewing and pre-screening
numerous potential candidates among our exclusive resource network database. Then, true to our word, we presented GEICO
with three highly qualified candidates within 24 hours. By providing a choice of candidates, all of whom have the
required skills for the job, Global Technical Talent gives clients the luxury of selecting the right people based on
their attitude, how well they fit the corporate culture, and other attributes besides simply their qualifications.
Global Technical Talent's proven ability to deliver as promised has since led to many other opportunities at GEICO, In the last five years, we've
placed over 125 people, and not just IT developers and architects, but also executives in highly visible management positions.
Recruiting senior employees takes more than simply satisfying their salary requirements. These people tend to be long-term loyal employees,
which is great, but also makes it a significant challenge to convince them to leave their existing positions or relocate. At Global Technical
Talent we go to great lengths to ensure that the career aspirations and qualifications of the candidate, and the quality of the opportunity, culture and
technical business environment at the hiring company truly match. As a result, we ensure in a better long-term outcome for both our candidates and
our clients.

The fact that GEICO's corporate application architect and its corporate data architect both came from
Global Technical Talent referrals is testament to the superior caliber of candidates produced by our recruiting process.
Since they have been at the company, these technical architects have established new and much improved software development
standards for GEICO.
Similarly, when GEICO needed people for its Enterprise Data Warehouse Group which was tasked with migrating the company's database
to a new system, among the handful of recruiting firms involved, only Global Technical Talent succeeded. We provided all 10 of the
candidates who were ultimately recruited. Including the group director, who was instrumental in revamping GEICO's existing enterprise
data warehouse, by leveraging best practices and implementing the latest technologies.
Flexibility is another advantage of working with Global Technical Talent. For GEICO, we fulfill a wide variety of staffing needs, including
contract, contract-to-hire, and permanent placement requests.
When GEICO needed candidates to establish a new team to manage Sarbanes/ Oxley compliance, we went beyond our normal specialty to source
CPAs and other financial accountants for non-IT positions and satisfy GEICO's need.
As a low-cost provider, GEICO must be very cost-efficient in everything the company does, including its hiring practices. Global
Technical Talent has established a long track record of success providing high quality talent and still meeting GEICO's tight budgetary requirements.
Since winning GEICO's confidence by delivering on our promise on that first project, our relationship has evolved into a true partnership.
Global Technical Talent is committed to delivering the best candidates for any position within 24 hours. And we fill those positions with half as
many candidates as the industry average. That is a welcome benefit for clients who would rather focus on managing their own departments instead of
recruiting.
By providing the best people possible, Global Technical Talent has steadily helped GEICO raise the quality and capabilities of its internal
IT department. In recognition for this service, GEICO bestowed the 2002 Partnership Excellence Award on Global Technical Talent, and invited
us to become one of two primary recruitment providers.
