- Staffing Strategy
- U-Sourcing™-University-Based Programs
- Organizational Alignment
In today's business world, competition for the best people has never been greater. As attrition rates increase in key areas of the organization, it is essential for companies to create ways to fulfill hiring needs. Virtually every company uses traditional hiring and recruiting methods to garner the best people in the industry. Backes Consulting & Technology can help you with strategic recruiting and staffing programs that can extend to every organization in your company. Our services provide differentiation to our clients as they build long-term and reliable staffing programs.
Our U-Sourcing™ program is a structured program that allows our clients to build a virtual farm-club of talent using university students. U-Sourcing™ uses the same basic principles as intern or co-op programs but our program focuses on retention through constant employment and a comprehensive, multi-year curriculum. Students that participate in the program receive thorough training and be part of live projects for the company. The student employee is continuously evaluated throughout the program so that only the best candidates will be considered for full-time employment.
Many factors influence how well an organization performs over time. From companies that re-organize every 6 months to those that keep the same structure for years, keeping an effective team balance and focus impacts productivity. We can look across your business and match your operational and performance goals with how your teams are structured. Further analysis looks at skills sets and how they match the functions that an organization must accomplish. Because real people must accomplish work tasks, our analysis also considers employee attitudes and perception of their role in the organization.

A key component of building a strong business is being able to hire qualified people when you need them. Traditional "just-in-time" hiring and intern or co-op programs do not provide a dependable source for qualified new employees to keep pace with today's demands. We have developed non-traditional staffing programs that provide a constant and dependable source of qualified new hires using university level student employee programs. Our model can be scaled to corporate-wide programs and, like all of our programs, is able to be centrally managed with measured results.
