What areas of the country do you serve?
We service clients all accross the US. Since the
markets in which we specialize are in such high-demand, where
experienced consultants are in such in low supply, our clients
recognize that the best resources are seldom found locally. At the same
time, our consultants understand the need to be "road warriors" to be
able to work as consultants in their markets.

Does your company work with independent contractors?
When the best consultant for a project is an independent contractor, we
gladly work with him or her to provide our clients the best possible
service. However, whenever possible, we prefer to work with W-2 staff
or hourly employees (since that is the preference of most of our
clients).
......................................................................................................................
Does your firm provide permanent placement services?
Yes, we do. WhitakerIT is a division of The Whitaker
Companies, the roots of which are in the executive search business. We
have successfully differentiated ourselves from IT contract services
firms by applying our depth of knowledge in permanent search services
to the contract market. We have dedicated personnel who work this
market exclusively and provide top-quality candidates to our clients
who request these services.

How is travel handled for consultants who are "road warriors"?
Whitaker employs full-time administrative staff who are dedicated
to arranging travel for all of our consultants who travel to and from
the client site. Whitaker provides travel arrangement services to
ensure that our consultants are free to focus their efforts on the
project at hand.
