Recruiting Methodology

All Galen Technology Solutions, Inc. (GTS) applicants undergo a comprehensive evaluation. By rigorously screening applicants, whether employees, hourly employees, or independent contractors, we have achieved an extremely low turnover rate. The screening process consists of the following steps:

Extensive Background Investigations (employment, experience, education, certifications)
Upon arrival to our offices, each candidate is required to complete a job application form. This form helps us gather personal data including job references. Each technical recruiter conducts an extensive background review; job and salary history; proofreads resume; certifies dates; and collects references.

Non-Technical Interviews
Each candidate will have an in-house interview (evaluation of presentation, communication and interpersonal skills). Prior to submitting a candidate's qualifications to the client, the account executive reviews the candidate's profile, discussing with him/her the specific position. Only then does the account executive submit the resume to the client. A resume is never submitted before the candidate is properly matched to the job requirements.

Technical Interviews
Each candidate will undergo a comprehensive, technical interview with an in-house technology expert, a web-based technology-testing site (www.measureup.com), or a hands-on technical assessment by one of our technical associates.

Reference Checks
Technical recruiters contact all references provided by the candidate. Two references are required from each candidate. Previous managers are required. Our recruiters follow a reference-verification procedure. Each reference answers a series of questions confirming the details of the candidate's work experience. If negative and/or misleading information is gathered, the candidate is eliminated from any potential employment opportunity.

Verification of ability to work in the United States
Each candidate that applies for employment with GTS is required to fill out an I-9 form and provide two forms of identification (Drivers License, Social Security Card).

Criminal Background Check
GTS believes that criminal background checks are critical and necessary evaluations for employment. However, we perform these only at the request of the client. GTS would be willing to discuss criminal background check services.

Drug Screening
GTS believes that drug tests are critical and necessary evaluations for employment. However, we perform these only at the request of the client. GTS would be willing to discuss drug screening services.
