MSPowerhouse staffing and engineering team reviewing IT candidate profiles together

Technical Experts Screen Candidates

A generalist staffing team checks the resume. Our technical team helps check whether the candidate can actually do the work.

We Work in These Environments

Microsoft 365, Azure, cybersecurity, Power Platform, Power BI, data engineering, infrastructure and end-user support.

Replacement Included

If an eligible placement does not work out, we help replace the candidate without forcing you to restart from zero.

No Large Upfront Staffing Fee

Use a predictable hiring model instead of a large percentage-based placement fee upfront.

The Result

5 qualified candidates presented within 9 days; the client hired in week three and the placement is still in seat.
