Meridian is a technology company with a long history of providing technology solutions to our clients. With that same philosophy, Meridian has invested to ensure that the same expertise is transferred to our candidate experience.

Working with an IT staffing firm offers you more opportunities than if you were to seek employment on your own. Our team of staffing professionals has developed strong business relationships with decision makers and hiring managers at our clients and within the business community as a whole. Many open positions are not posted on company websites but instead are given to staffing professionals like Meridian to fulfill.
We provide a service to our clients that includes screening hundreds of resumés and selecting the best candidates. We will work with you to ensure you are the best fit for the opportunity and then present your qualifications to the hiring manager. Many positions begin as contract assignments and convert to permanent opportunities directly with the client. This allows both you and the client to determine if a good job fit has occurred. Some positions may remain as “contract” for an extended period of time. Our team of experienced staffing professionals will work with you to place you in a position that fits your short- and/or long-term career goals.
Of course we will. The most important thing to remember is to stay in touch with your recruiter and keep him or her updated on your status. Communication is key! Be sure to contact your Meridian recruiter approximately six weeks before the expiration of your current contract so we have sufficient time to identify new opportunities for you.
