Recruitment Process
Loblolly on-staff consultants have key skills that are common for many projects. But we understand that you may need additional specialized skills. By utilizing both our on-staff consultants and our wide network of recruiting partners, we can help you get the best team member for your specific request in the most cost-effective way.
We also have contracts already in place for all public-sector (e.g., State, City, County, University, etc.) agencies in Texas to speed up the procurement process.
Here are some common scenarios for staff requests:
- General: common project roles like business analysts, project managers, etc.
- Specialty / Scarcity: specialized skills that are often difficult to find
- Volume: full team ramp ups where you need multiple roles staffed quickly
Whatever your staffing needs, we can help!
How Does it Work?
The Loblolly unique and proprietary recruitment process begins with a wide search for candidates both on-staff and using our wide network of sourcing partners.
We consider many factors, including:
- Skills
- Industry
- Culture Fit

Using our proven interview process, we narrow the pool of candidates to identify the ones who are the best fit for your particular project and needs. The Loblolly delivery management team handles the final vetting and selection before submitting candidates to you.
The process is summarized as follows:
