Vantage have been providing IT Contract resources to Ireland’s top 100 companies and Government departments for over 15 years. We combine strong IT technical knowledge with HR competencies to ensure the delivery of quality candidates. Aided by our enriched candidate database, with over 30,000 personnel, as well as the power of the Internet and viral marketing we provide a high value quality service offering. Due to ongoing demand from our customers we have expanded our services to include a permanent staffing solution.
As a company we take time to understand both your business and technical environment and realise how doubly important it is that our customers management team minimise the time and effort required to find suitably qualified people to staff their projects. Run by experienced IT managers with a background in applications development and systems management we take considerable care when proposing any candidate to customers. We will therefore, only propose candidates that we are convinced are suitable.
Our range of services cover:
Contract Resourcing: We supply a wide range of IT professionals to Customers across different technology platforms to supplement client’s in-house personnel. This can cover a single individual or a team of resources all on temporary contract assignment. The client in this case manages the resource(s) on site.
Permanent staffing: Vantage combines strong IT technical knowledge with HR competencies to ensure the delivery of quality candidates to fill high value permanent vacancies within the IT departments for some of Ireland’s largest companies.
Managed Service: Vantage source and supply a team of resources to be assigned to a specific project or function e.g. Helpdesk. We define the entire team from Team Leader or Project Manager to individual team members. The senior Vantage person assigned as ‘Team Lead’ reports directly on an on-going basis to an assigned client manager. The actual function or project is run by Vantage but the customer takes overall management responsibility for delivery of the project or service.
Project Delivery: Vantage take complete ownership and delivery responsibility for a specific project. Terms of Reference and the Functional Requirements for a project are defined by Vantage and its Customer. Vantage then delivers to this defined project scope. This service is predominately carried out in the Payments Systems arena specifically covering Behaviour Scoring and Fraud Detection Systems.

I recently took part in an IT contracts market research competition with Vantage Resources Ltd and won the star prize of an Ipod nano.
Vantage explained to me that continued ongoing research into IT contractor attitudes will help Vantage to implement new IT marketing campaigns.
They also outlined that this type of research will raise the company's awareness and exposure to an even greater proportion of IT contractors and clients in the Irish IT contracts industry.
I was delighted to take part in the research process and was very pleased to hear that my views together with other respondents that took part in the survey will help Vantage to improve its IT contracts services and marketing activities.
