TESTIMONIALS
Jason White - CEO
“Our Company is a 40+ year old family-owned, national business. We identified a need to take our IT leadership to the next level with the addition of a CIO.
In early 2023, we posted this position on Indeed and social media. Simply put….that did not work.
After sharing our “struggle” with friends and peers, we were introduced to Jason White and the DataMasters team. Within days, Jason’s team provided a dozen candidates and helped us to identify five to interview.
I was most impressed that they knew every candidate personally due to their work in IT staffing over many years.
Working with DataMasters was a huge success. Within three weeks we conducted four rounds of interviews and we found a great fit for our company.
The DataMasters team is professional, easy to work with, and well-connected in the IT space. Even though we could only hire one candidate, I’m confident all interviewed were capable and qualified.
We highly recommend DataMasters to help you identify and find the right IT professional for your organization.”
CEO/ President – Privately-held Retail/ Wholesale company
“When you envision the prototypical recruiter, thoughts of quota-driven individuals with zero vested interest in their candidates come to mind.
They are very thoughtful and meticulous when pairing candidates with a perfect fit opportunity.
Expect a high level of personal service without sacrificing high-performance results. You will be in good hands with the DataMasters team cheering you on to success.”
VP of Information Technology, Not-For-Profit
“You do more than fill positions…you help build great teams.”
