As a professional services firm that provides IT staffing solutions to businesses and organizations nationwide, The Coddington Group, LLC, knows that in an uncertain economy and a time of substantial change, great organizations need great talent…and they need that talent right away.
“Companies need highly skilled IT resources to help them adapt to rapidly changing market environments and to emerge successful amidst increased competition and external challenges,” says CEO Jason Coddington, who founded The Coddington Group in 2004. Today, his firm delivers technology professionals with deep domain knowledge in application development and integration, enterprise architecture, database design and development, and IT project management and leadership. The Coddington Group assists clients in the communications, healthcare, high tech, and professional service industries.
With decades of collective business and technology domain experience, The Coddington Group provides its customers with talent ranging from management individuals with more than a decade of full lifecycle involvement, to developers and testers, to functional and technical people with package specific implementation knowledge. Finding the perfect match between IT professional and position is an involved, and rigorous, process.
For instance, when it comes to placing Enterprise Architects, The Coddington Group seeks technologists who demonstrate the ability to do architecture work of the broadest nature, across an entire enterprise. “These candidates typically have years of experience working within a range of architecture disciplines,” says Mr. Coddington. These professionals have a minimum of three full lifecycle implementations and more than four years of specific package experience. “With clients investing millions in IT projects critical to their business success, providing the best talent in the industry to lead and execute on these efforts will continue to be our core focus.”
“But it’s not necessarily the technical skills that keep our clients up at night,” explains Mr. Coddington. “What employers need most are talented professionals who possess deep industry knowledge and a true understanding of the issues that impact their business.”
Among the clients most in need of The Coddington Group’s talent acquisition services are those who work in the healthcare industry. With an increased political and economic emphasis on healthcare IT, management and delivery, the firm is working with a number of providers to prepare them for what could be a huge industry transformation.
“With upcoming initiatives such as electronic medical records exchange, HIPPA 5010 and ICD-10, we’re helping ensure that our clients have the right talent on board now—and into the future—for these types of industry transformation projects,” notes Mr. Coddington.
The Coddington Group achieves its perfect matches by utilizing a meticulous process that includes defining requirements, conducting searches and screenings, performing technical assessments and working to achieve the right “cultural match” between the client and technology professional.
“We know the value of partnering with a firm that has the proper knowledge of the current market and trends, one that appreciates the importance of the right professional match,” explains Mr. Coddington. “Identifying, attracting, and retaining key talent is more art than science. Our continued growth proves that our focused strategy is working well for us—and for our clients.”
