The Client
Global Professional Services Provider
A $500m global provider of professional services with more than 1,000 sales, consulting, and implementation resources at work around the world, with 120 offices in 30 countries. Many programs and services are deployed via the internet and are available in multiple languages. The main website provides multiple portals for key functional areas of the business and information exchange, and in many languages.

The Challenge
Corporate Website Security and Database at Risk
The main website had become corrupt with a string of code which put the entire website and corporate database at risk. Left unnoticed, this could have had worldwide implications, and it is estimated that for every day the website was down while correcting the issue, the company could face losses $1.5m in revenue per day.

The Solution
After a comprehensive assessment of top IT Staffing Firms, this client chose Oxford Solutions because of it’s…

• Successful track record of delivering mission-critical solutions
• Keen Business and IT intelligence
• Exceptional client references
• Abundance of industry contacts and substantial database of skills

After an in-depth analysis of our client’s specific hiring requirements, Oxford Solutions was able to identify a seasoned ASP.NET Developer that had co-delivered successful web-based solutions multiple times in the past. Oxford’s resource was able to pin-point this issue on the 450+ affected pages of the main website and to quickly update the security updates for each page, getting the client up and running and back on track within days.

The Results
Within three days of identifying the issue, corrected the code security breach and successfully updated the nearly 500 pages of the web site – all without having to bring down the main site – resulting in no net loss of revenue. Additionally, installed upgraded hardware servers to prevent any similar issue from occurring in the future.

The Client
National Health Services Provider
Our client, a national Health Services Provider, unexpectedly won a very large out-of-state contract which would require significant manpower to fulfill. It was determined in order to meet the need, 6 more highly sought after software developers would need to be added to the current project team.

The Challenge
Severely understaffed, with large volume of work and tight schedule
The technology experience required to deliver the project is the latest in web development technology to include ASP.NET and C#, one of the more highly demanded skills in the area. Available resources with these skills would need to be identified and recruited specifically for this opportunity…resources of this caliber would not be posted on job boards.

The Solution
After a comprehensive assessment of top IT Staffing Firms, this client chose Oxford Solutions because of it’s…

• Ability to respond immediately with top-notch, highly qualified resources
• Exceptional client references
• Quick understanding of the need and exceptional customer service

After an in-depth analysis of our client’s specific hiring requirements, Oxford Solutions was able to identify and assemble the entire team of 6 developers that were required, and the solution was delivered on time, actually exceeding expectations.

The Results
Our client was able to deliver this critical and sizeable project, exceeding expectations, which now catapulted our client into a much more prestigious and lucrative opportunity base.

The Client
National Engineering and Consulting Firm
Our client, a national Engineering and Consulting firm, was suddenly faced with a need for a licensed PE (Professional Engineer). PE certification is specifically required for any engineer who does work that has the potential to impact the public (civil, mechanical, electrical and chemical are most common).

The Challenge
Licensed Professional Engineers (PE) are not widely available
Professional Engineers (PE) are the individuals that put their final stamp of approval and give the “go-ahead” on major engineering projects like, bridges, tunnels, dams, buildings, etc. – the level of responsibility and experience is extremely high and PE’s normally are hired on full time and gain many years of valuable experience working as an employee of the consulting or engineering firm, so they are not normally readily available or easy to find.

The Solution
This client did not hesitate in contacting Oxford Solutions immediately because of their…

• Reputation and track record as Pittsburgh’s #1 supplier of Engineers
• Ability to respond immediately with top-notch, highly qualified resources
• Extensive database of candidates, solid relationships that span many years
• Quick understanding of the need and exceptional customer service

Oxford Solutions has maintained excellent relationships with the top Engineers across the multiple disciplines in Western Pennsylvania over the past 10 years. It did not take long for Oxford’s recruiting team to quickly identify and provide resumes for great candidates.

The Results
Within 2 days of receiving the requirement, Oxford Solutions was able to respond with the resumes of 3 Professional Engineers, one of which was an original Pittsburgh native out of the area looking to relocate back to Pittsburgh. The client was able to interview all three candidates in order to choose the most appropriate candidate. It was agreed for the PE to work as a contractor for the immediate term, which this engineer did, and was hired full time shortly thereafter. The client delivered their project and gained a valuable employee.
