Credibility
September 27, 2019

Bob Dylan has passed… according to Siri. If you asked her last week about the famed musician, she would have said he passed in 2008. He has not. Fortunately, the mistake has since been corrected.

What makes someone (something) credible? Though Siri is no longer erroneously reporting the singer songwriter’s demise, the bug raises the issue of credibility.

Words like trustworthiness, honesty and authenticity come to mind. At Optomi, a core aspect to the success of our technical recruiters is the importance of credibility. This starts with being genuine and honest. Our consultants trust them to relate honestly with them about their career objectives. Our clients trust that our team will find the best professional and culture match for their projects and organization. And throughout, we lead by being an informed and transparent partner in the IT landscape.

Being credible is what sets us apart from so much of our competition. It’s a driver of why we remain atop the list of fastest growing tech staffing firms in the U.S. (as reported by Staffing Industry Analysts).

Optomi attracts in-demand talent with its unprecedented consultant experience. Optomi Consultants are treated like true employees of the firm with genuine career partnership, unique charity welcome gifts and recognition for their dedication. They become part of the company’s mission to bring value to the client and the community we have the privilege to work with.

Optomi’s consultant retention rate for its key clients hovers around 86%.  An astounding endorsement for Optomi’s ability to place quality, culturally on-point tech talent. It’s a testament to the trust our clients and consultants have in our company. Many firms in our Industry scour job boards and postings, while at Optomi we pursue the passive candidate…professionals who are gainfully employed but willing to make a career move for a particular reason. Establishing credibility is key to being a partner in a successful career move for a consultant and client.

The importance of credibility… it’s how Optomi is driving tomorrow’s technology with today’s optimum talent.

We are proud to announce that Optomi has once again been named one of the Fastest-Growing Staffing Firms in the United States by Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA)—marking our seventh appearance on this annual list. Earning this recognition year after year is not something we take lightly. In a constantly evolving market, sustained growth requires more than strategy—it demands vision, adaptability, and a relentless commitment to excellence in every facet of the business. This milestone is a reflection of the strength of our model, the caliber of our people, and the lasting partnerships we’ve built with our clients and consultants. We’ve remained focused on delivering IT talent solutions that solve real business challenges, while staying rooted in a culture that values integrity, performance, and purpose. “Achieving a compounded annual growth rate over the last few years of 25.6%, when the market as a whole has faced significant headwinds, is truly remarkable. It's a testament to the fact that during uncertain times, clients don't just look for a service; they seek a true partner,” said CEO Chuck Ruggiero. “This growth is a direct result of the trust our clients place in us to deliver the critical talent they need to navigate complexity and innovation. That trust, paired with the unwavering dedication of our team, has allowed us to excel in a down market.” As we look to the future, we’re proud of this achievement—but even more committed to what comes next. With a strong foundation and a proven approach, Optomi remains well-positioned for continued growth and impact.
