Contract and consulting staffing
Technology professionals engaged for a defined period of work — a migration, a release, a backfill, a regulatory deadline. PRI carries the employment relationship so your team carries the project.
How it works →Employers
PRI Technology fills technology roles across ten disciplines and fifteen industries. Every candidate is identified, interviewed, screened, tested and reference-checked before a profile reaches you — and terms are agreed at the start, not renegotiated later.

01The short version
How does PRI Technology fill a technology role?
It starts with a principal of the firm, not an account coordinator. PRI builds company, department and user profiles so the standard you set on one requisition is applied to the next one, and its recruiters are trained to keep current with the technologies they staff — which is what separates a shortlist of practitioners from a shortlist of keyword matches.
Candidates are identified, interviewed, screened, tested and reference-checked before submission. Background screening covers education and employment verification as well as criminal and credit searches; drug testing is conducted on request.
The firm maintains two levels of back-up employees — which it describes as unique to the staffing industry — and holds a second back-up person on the highest-priority projects at no cost to the client, so a departure mid-project does not become a stoppage.

02Coverage
Which technology roles can PRI staff?
Ten disciplines, from application development through to CIO, CTO, CISO and CDO search.
- Application design and development
- Product and platform engineering teams — the people who design, build and maintain the software your business runs on.
- Infrastructure and support
- The layer everything else depends on: networks, systems, end-user support and the operations staff who keep them running.
- Data management, engineering, science and analytics
- From pipelines and warehouses through to modelling and reporting — the discipline most AI programmes stand or fall on.
- Architecture and business intelligence
- Solution and enterprise architects, plus the BI practitioners who turn a data estate into decisions.
- Cybersecurity and governance, risk and compliance
- Security engineering and the governance side of it — audit readiness, regulatory response and third-party risk.
- PMO — project management, business analysis, QA and testing
- The delivery function: the people who scope the work, write the requirements and prove the result works.
- Cloud-based technologies
- Migration, platform engineering and the cost and reliability discipline that has to follow it.
- Artificial intelligence
- Machine-learning and applied-AI practitioners — and, through PRI AI Advisory, the strategy and governance around them.
- Marketing
- Digital marketing, marketing technology and communications — the people who run campaigns, administer the marketing stack and report on what it returns.
- Executive technology management
- Retained and contingency search for technology leadership, including CIO, CTO, CISO and CDO mandates.

03Engagement
Which engagement model fits the requirement?
Four commercial models, each with a different risk profile. Full detail — including how executive search is priced — sits on the services page.
Contract-to-hire
A try-before-you-hire route for roles where fit is genuinely hard to judge from an interview loop. The consultant works on your team, on PRI paper, and converts when both sides are sure.
How it works →Direct hire
Permanent placement, with the full screen, interview, test and reference-check process completed on every candidate before a single profile reaches you.
How it works →Executive search
Leadership mandates — CIO, CTO, CISO and CDO — run as a search rather than a requisition. In every executive search PRI works as a business partner rather than a vendor.
How it works →04Process
What happens after you send a brief?
Four steps, with the same senior person on the account throughout.
01
Define the role with someone senior
Your first conversation is with a principal of the firm. PRI builds company, department and user profiles so the standard you set is applied consistently on the next requisition as well as this one.
02
Search the network before the database
Recruiters are trained to keep current with the technologies they staff, which is what makes a shortlist of practitioners rather than a shortlist of keyword matches.
03
Screen, verify and position
Every candidate is interviewed and reference-checked. Background screening covers education and employment verification plus criminal and credit searches; drug testing is conducted on request.
04
Stay on the account through onboarding
Terms and process are agreed at the start — no surprises. On the highest-priority projects a second back-up person is held at no cost to you.
05Assurances
What happens if a placement does not hold?
This is the question that actually decides a staffing relationship, so it is answered here rather than buried in a contract.
Senior staff members are your primary contacts
Account managers at PRI are principals and owners — decision-makers themselves. You are not handed to a junior rep after the first call, and the firm states that its commitment to diversity recruitment is paramount to this philosophy.
Our candidates come with “satisfaction guaranteed”
A dedicated research team identifies, interviews, screens, tests and reference-checks every candidate before a profile is submitted. Nothing reaches you that has not been through it.
Consistency and reliability save you time and money
PRI develops company, department and user profiles so the same standard is applied to every search, rather than re-litigating what “good” means on each requisition.
And no surprises
All terms and processes are agreed at the start of the relationship. Unique to the staffing industry, PRI offers a second back-up person on the highest-priority projects at no cost.
