More Information Concerning Opportunities with Us

Staff Work for Network Consultants, Computer Support Technicians,
Security Consultants, and Remote Help Professionals
Progent is seeking to hire full-time, solutions-driven Microsoft accredited consultants with MCSE or MCP credentials; Cisco accredited network engineers who have Cisco CCIE credentials; security consultants who have CISA or comparable security certification; and high-end network design consultants with experience in mobile solutions, wireless connectivity, fault tolerance, workplace recovery, data preservation, and VMware. Progent also is hiring employees to join our team of helpdesk service technicians and off-site support professionals. In addition, Progent is hiring talented managers who can operate productively in Progent's fast-paced, virtual office culture.

By supporting a team of talented and motivated consultants, providing attentive client care, and following a strong results-based fee structure, Progent has managed to expand our customer base rapidly while providing consulting services to numerous companies in the San Francisco area and across the U.S. An advanced virtual office environment, a common knowledge base, and a group approach to problem resolution have allowed Progent to maintain a talented staff and a loyal customer base.

If you are a network consultant with troubleshooting expertise, teaming with Progent or helping our clients can expand your skills through interaction with Progent's group of mutually team-oriented, talented engineers. Our commitment to providing network consulting and computer help to small and midsize companies will give you the opportunity to collaborate intimately with decision makers and add significantly to the growth of dynamic businesses.

Progent is hiring consultants that can show recognized credentials related to their technical focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you should have earned your Microsoft MCSE credential. In the case of Cisco consultants, show us your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or CCNP certificate. For security, you should show you Certified Information Systems Security Professional, CISA, CISM, or one of the other leading security certifications. Of course, Progent is familiar with “paper MCSEs.” Notwithstanding, simply because a certificate can not ensure expertise is no justification for not owning one. If you have mastered your field, then most of these certifications should be no challenge. The point is that if you call yourself a professional, then clients deserve to see credentials. Progent will promote your talents, but you must have standard certifications for Progent to market. In case you happen to be adamantly opposed to the concept of certifications, we can understand and respect your position, but you are likely not an appropriate fit.

Be it Microsoft Windows, Cisco firewalls, corporate security, Mac, Linux, server virtualization, or other crucial application, we engage experts who can enable you to be effective on larger projects by leveraging the collective experience of our team of experts.

To ensure the success of our team, we invest significantly in making available the best tools to perform the work efficiently. We will leverage information technology to an extraordinary degree and our advanced virtual office environment enables seamless connectivity, cooperation, and information sharing with other Progent team members — all from home-based or mobile offices.

The best part is that most of our support work can be done remotely, representing maximum efficiency for billable time. In fact, some of our staff do remote support exclusively.

Progent's operations are geared towards reacting rapidly and effectively to client needs through knowledge sharing and collaborative problem solving. Although Progent's engineers operate with a high level of independence, resource allocation is unified, customer problems and resolutions are carefully monitored, recorded, and archived for easy reference, current consultant availability is published to streamline group projects and simplify trouble escalation, and customer approval is continually evaluated.
