Additional Facts Concerning Opportunities with Us

Staff Jobs for Network Consultants, Desktop Service Specialists,
Security Consultants, and Online Help Professionals
Progent is seeking to hire fulltime, results-driven Microsoft accredited consultants with Microsoft MCSE or MCSA certification; Cisco accredited network consultants who have CCIE credentials; security consultants with CISM or equivalent security certification; and advanced system design experts with a background in mobile solutions, wireless networking, high uptime, business continuity, information protection, and virtual servers. Progent also seeks professionals to work on our team of help desk support technicians and off-site troubleshooting experts. In addition, Progent is looking for experienced managers who can perform effectively in our high-growth, virtual office culture.

By supporting a team of talented and motivated consultants, delivering attentive client care, and offering a strong value-based fee model, Progent has managed to expand our client list rapidly while delivering consulting support to hundreds of businesses in the San Francisco area and across the United States. A sophisticated virtual office network, a common knowledge base, and a group strategy for problem resolution have allowed Progent to retain a skilled consulting team and a satisfied client base.

If you are a network professional with technical support expertise, joining Progent or working for Progent's clients will enhance your knowledge via interaction with Progent's staff of highly team-oriented, expert engineers. Our focus on delivering information technology expertise and technical support to small companies will give you the chance to collaborate intimately with key players and contribute appreciably to the growth of exciting companies.

Progent is hiring consultants that can show verifiable certification related to their special focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you should have earned your Microsoft MCSE certificate. In the case of Cisco experts, show us your CCIE or Cisco Certified Network Professional credential. For network security, you should have earned you Certified Information Systems Security Professional, CISA, CISM, or one of the other top security credentials. Of course, Progent is familiar with "paper experts". Notwithstanding, the fact that a credential can not guarantee expertise is no reason for not earning one. If you know your field, then the majority of those tests should pose no challenge. The crux of the matter is that if you represent yourself to be a professional, then clients deserve to see certifications. We can broadcast your skills, but you need to have a baseline of credentials for Progent to work with. In case you happen to be strongly against the idea of credentials, we can sympathize with and honor your position, but you are probably not an appropriate fit.

Enhance Your Abilities with the Best Technology and
Working with a Great Group of Network Engineers
Progent's productive atmosphere will make you a more capable consulting professional by enhancing your technical skills and increasing the loyalty of your customers. Progent makes good on this commitment by recruiting the top consulting talent for you to work with, providing an advanced network and communications architecture, running proprietary software tools to enable the maximum quality of service, and by streamlining proven business structures for finding and maintaining customers.

The decisive factor that separates us from most network support companies is the high quality of our support professionals. Out of the 50 or so consultants who have joined us, we have recruited top expertise across a broad array of technical areas. Whether it's Microsoft servers, Cisco firewalls, network security, Apple, Linux/UNIX, VMware, or other crucial technologies, we engage experts who can help you to be effective on major projects by leveraging the collective skills of Progent's team of professionals.

To ensure the productivity of our team, we invest heavily in making available the most powerful tools to perform the work properly. We will leverage information technology to an extraordinary degree and our state-of-the-art virtual office infrastructure allows seamless communications, cooperation, and information sharing with fellow Progent consultants — all from home-based or mobile offices. Consultants don't throw away time or lose income with daily commutes to a conventional office, and any travel you do for on-site customer work is determined by your time table, not Progent's. The most attractive part is that most of Progent's consulting services can be performed off-site, representing 100% efficiency for income-producing time. In fact, some of our team members do remote support exclusively.

Progent's business structure is geared towards reacting rapidly and efficiently to client needs through information sharing and cooperative problem resolution. Even though Progent's consultants work with a great deal of independence, dispatching is centralized, client problems and resolutions are carefully monitored, recorded, and organized for convenient retrieval, current engineer schedules are published to streamline group tasks and simplify problem escalation, and client satisfaction is always monitored. We strengthen the sense of connection through periodic team conferences and quarterly corporate events.

The majority of our team is situated throughout California, however Progent is attracting a rapidly expanding group of consulting professionals throughout the U.S. Our virtual office infrastructure eliminates regional boundaries that restrict the efficiency of conventional business models. We enhance the package by offering a full employee care program to ensure the health and economic welfare of our team members and their relations.

Just as we have world-class consulting professionals, Progent's sales and operations teams match the excellence that defines Progent. These top-notch contributors to Progent's growth are helping us to target and sign up the scores of new customers we are now engaging every month. Progent lately celebrated the delivery of services to our 1,000th customer. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to see for yourself why we are also an effective sales operation.

Possessing a passion for technical excellence is a cornerstone for growth with us. A job in consulting will drive you to learn more than is possible in any other position in network technology. Being exposed to a steady stream of network challenges is what keeps professional support interesting. Customers rely on consulting firms to perform the “hard stuff.” Creative projects, advanced deployments, puzzling or chronic problems, and difficult upgrades are the basis for our services every day. At Progent, you will not stall or be pigeonholed, as is all too common for computer engineers in ordinary corporate roles. You will wake up every morning excited about the opportunities to come.

On the way, you will work with some great people, both by building close customer contacts and by operating closely with other Progent team members, where you will learn from and contribute to their growth. Of course, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-focused company heart and soul. If you don't have strong communications skills or enjoy cooperating with a diverse group of personalities, then Progent is probably a poor match.

If this seems right for you, we urge you to talk to us about our view of the new paradigm of network consulting.
