Stout Systems has helped place 39 people in new tech jobs in Metro Detroit, helping make 2011 the best year for the Ann Arbor-based staffing firm.
Stout Systems either finds technical people or sends its own techies out to its customers to get jobs done. These workers cover all technology aspects, ranging from IT to software development. The 19-year-old company currently has 35 people on its payroll and isn't having a problem finding places to put qualified technical talent to work.
"The biggest demand on our company is filling all of the demand for technical talent," says
John Stout, president & founder of
Stout Systems. "I could triple the size of our company if there was enough technical talent to fill all of these roles."
He adds that the Detroit market "has been pretty hot" lately, including in the automotive, manufacturing, government and medical industries. The company has also seen a demand for technical talent across the board from entry level to senior talent.
"We have been seeing an influx of people right out of college," Stout says. "We have hired three in the last month."
