Optomi's Charlotte Team Volunteered with Beds for Kids
November 6, 2019
The Optomi Charlotte team had an amazing day yesterday volunteering at a Beds for Kids event!! We were able to partner with Beds for Kids, a local organization that provides beds and furniture for families transitioning into new housing. We spent the day organizing their warehouse, refurbishing old furniture, delivering furniture, assembling beds, and praying with families in need. In 1 day we were able to deliver 5 truckloads of furniture to 5 families all over Charlotte. Over 15 people who did not have a bed to sleep in Monday night were able to crawl into a brand new bed last night. This was such an amazing day and made such a huge impact on not only the people we were serving but on our Optomi family as well!
Today, we welcome the 20th group of recent college graduates to The Acadomi—Optomi’s 3-month training program designed to fully prepare entry-level Tech Recruiters and Account Executives for a successful career in the IT Staffing industry.
To deliver cutting-edge connected products, a mobility, Big Data, and Cloud Intelligence company struggled to source local, on-site resources to handle this initiative.
The pitch is always polished: an impressive roster of placements, a nationwide recruiting engine, a bench of “elite technologists ready to deploy.”
A Fortune 500 utilities company faced several challenges with running its Cyber Security Operations Center (CSOC). After evaluating the situation with their prior managed security service provider (MSSP), the client realized the MSSP did not have the appropriate access or authorization to investigate alerts off-site. This was extremely important for the client as they had multiple security protocols in place, meaning that investigations of alerts and escalations required on-site authorization or full-time employee (FTE) access. The client also struggled with retention and did not have effective methods to find quality candidates that fit the culture of their organization.

A Fortune 500 software and technology company was struggling with executing an organizational shift to user and product-focused initiatives. The client had a surplus of UX designers and not enough product-focused designers to handle requests flooding in from shared services. The company was evolving and needed all inquiries to funnel through one, robust team comprised of individuals capable of carrying multiple skillsets.
A Fortune 500 financial services firm was preparing for a major upgrade to its insurance platform but struggled to build the necessary technical team. Previous attempts to hire through Contingent Labor Programs and traditional outsourcing partners had failed, plagued by cultural misalignment and restrictive conversion terms.
For 20 years, a multinational healthcare services company relied on the outsourcing support of a managed services provider to fulfill their hiring needs. Upon evaluating the deal later on, the client learned that not only were they overspending on resources, but that they lacked all contract proprietary rights. They did not own any of the documentation or standard operating procedures in place in their own company, handcuffing them to their old vendor.
Optomi has been named one of the Best Staffing Firms to Work For in 2026 by Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA).
