IT Support Staffing

Help desk and IT support staffing.

The people who keep everyone else working. We staff support desks that stay staffed.

Support that shows up, and stays.

The market

Support hiring gets treated as easy. It is where turnover quietly costs the most.

Help desk roles get filled fast and badly. The screen is usually a resume check and a certification, which tells you nothing about whether the person can stay calm with a frustrated executive at nine in the morning.

Then it turns over in seven months and you run the whole process again, while every unresolved ticket lands on someone who was hired to do something else. The real cost of a weak support hire is paid by everyone around them.

How we help

We screen for temperament as hard as we screen for skill.

Help desk, desktop support, and infrastructure staffing have been core to this team for years, including large support organizations and multi-site rollouts.

Technical skill and patience, both

Resetting a password is not the hard part. Doing it for the eighth time that morning without making the person feel stupid is. We screen for both and we do not treat the second one as optional.

We staff contract, contract to hire, and permanent

Coverage for a leave, a project surge, or a permanent desk hire are three different asks. We handle all three and will tell you which fits your situation.

We keep a warm bench

Support roles open with no notice. Because we work this market continuously, we are usually starting from a list of people we already know rather than from zero.

Pain points

Where support hiring quietly costs you

The screen tested knowledge, not temperament

Technical questions are easy to write and easy to pass. Whether someone stays calm and respectful with a frustrated executive is the actual job, and it rarely gets tested.

Turnover is treated as normal

Support desks churn because they are hired as a stopgap and managed as an afterthought. Each departure resets institutional knowledge that was never written down.

Coverage gaps land on people hired for other work

When the desk is short, engineers and office managers absorb tickets. That cost is real, it compounds, and it never appears as a support expense.

Executive support was assumed rather than screened

Supporting a managing director or a firm partner is a different job than general help desk. Discretion, availability, and composure are the requirements, and they need their own screen.

The MSP rotates staff every few months

Outsourced desks solve headcount and create a knowledge problem. Nobody learns your environment, and every escalation starts from nothing.

Off-hours reality was never scoped

Trading floors need coverage before markets open and law firms need it while a deal closes at midnight. Discovering that after the hire means renegotiating or replacing.

Questions

The questions we hear most.

Do you staff help desk on contract or permanent?

Both, plus contract to hire, which suits support roles well because you see how someone handles your actual users before committing.

How fast can you fill a help desk role?

Faster than most technology roles. Because we work this market continuously we usually have qualified people to present within days rather than weeks.

Can you cover after hours or weekend shifts?

Yes. Off-hours and weekend coverage narrows the pool, so it takes a slightly wider search, but it is a normal part of staffing a support desk and we plan for it.

What does help desk staffing cost?

Contract placements bill at an hourly rate, permanent placements at a percentage of first-year salary. Both vary with tier and shift requirements. Send us the role and we will give you a number.
