The iVantage Group is in the midst of some big changes and the Brighton-based staffing firm has a lot of growth to show for it.
The 10-year-old company specializes in staffing services for the IT, insurance and banking sectors. It helps its clients find IT, engineering, finance and executive talent in the tech world. The iVantage Group is in the midst of moving to a new home in Brighton, which is triple the size of its former space. The 4,500-square-foot office has room for better training and space for its current staff to stretch out.
"It's an amazing space in so many ways," says Juliet Shrader, president & CEO of
iVantage Group. "We are growing so fast we were bursting at the seams."
The iVantage Group employs 12 people at its headquarters and another 100 in the field. It has hired four recruiters over the last year and is in the process of adding two more. That employee growth comes after several years of double-digit revenue gains, the smallest of which was 18 percent.
The firm also recently reorganized its leadership structure, adding more management positions. The idea is to help bring more leaders in to help grow the company, which has paid off handsomely so far.
"We now have a recruiter lead," Shrader says. "We never had that before. Creating that position has made our team not only bigger but stronger."
