The MAKE Difference
Here at MAKE, we take pride in our extensive experience and knowledge in IT staffing and recruiting. We are dedicated to the growth and development of the IT services industry through involvement with organizations such as TechServe Alliance, Staffing Industry Analysts, and VMS Professionals. In fact, I am the proud co-founder of VMS Professionals, a national association of end-user companies that network to discuss best practices in the acquisition and management of contingent labor. We are deeply committed to giving back to the community—a belief that permeates our entire team from top to bottom and we hope that some of our activities will inspire you to MAKE a difference in your community!
