About us: We are one of the largest IT Finance staffing firms in the tri-state area. In New York, we have a large office of recruiters, client managers/sales, and back office. Our client list consists of most banks on Wall St., as well as numerous hedge funds, broker dealers, and financial software companies.

Who we’re looking for: Someone who can dive into every corner of our business and determine areas in need of streamlining and improvement. We have already established several problem areas, listed below. We need someone who can both collect and analyze data useful to these issues, while also determining other areas in need of improvement. Our end goal is to pinpoint the weakest areas of our business, and use the data collected to create practical solutions.

Key Issues:
1. Consultant analysis: One of our main sources of revenue comes from the consultants we place at our clients. However, we have a lack of knowledge when it comes to which specific types of deals are most profitable for us. We want to analyze data on both a client by client and consultant by consultant basis, so we can determine which types of deals are most profitable—and then create a strategy that utilizes that knowledge, in order to maximize profits.
2. Consultant retention: Consultants leave regularly. How do keep them longer?
3. Internal processes: look at employee production and revenue. How do we make employees better, and more productive?
4. Recruiting recruiters – how/where do we find good people? What is the best hiring model for us?
5. Company expenses: we have a lot. Are there surplus or unnecessary expenses we should be cutting? Are there areas we should be spending more?

COMPANY HISTORY
Established in 1990, Open Systems Technologies has been the definitive leader in supplying technical engineers to the New York financial services community since its inception. Our original emphasis was with Unix O/S and distributed technologies. Much of the financial industry at that time, was committed to proprietary operating systems. Our unique ability in understanding this new technology offered Open Systems a competitive advantage as computing environments transitioned and moved forward.

In 1995, we expanded into the Massachusetts region, providing candidates to both the financial services sector, and the computer services industry in Boston’s route 128 area. Clients welcomed the opportunity to work with a firm who supplied engineers combining top-notch technical skills with specific domain knowledge of their applications. Applicants appreciated our knowledge of advanced technology and our ability to place them in a well suited match.

In the past five years, we’ve continued to expand both our philosophy and methodologies across the country. With offices in Philadelphia, Houston, and Chicago, we continue to service the top-tier financial institutions in search of rapidly shifting technical disciplines. Currently we have 1000+ consultants, and a permanent placement division with an unceasing demand for qualified technical engineers.
