John Nesser has over 20 years of experience locating superior talent within the IT business community at both a local and national level. He brings 10 years of hands on custom development experience, primarily in the Microsoft windows and web environment along with a solid understanding of the SDLC. John held the position as Staffing Manager at Systems Group, an Inc500 consulting firm, from start up until the sale of the company. He has worked for both smaller consulting firms as well as national staffing organizations. He has experience staffing within the consulting industry as well as traditional direct hire.

Having been raised in a family where his father was a successful entrepreneur, owning multiple grocery stores and delicatessens, John learned from an early age the concept of hard work and commitment. He also learned from his father the value of customer service, honesty and “your word is Gold” mentality. Serving four years with the U.S. Marines, John learned what it truly means to work as a team.

A key perspective that John brings to the table, due to his technical development experience, is a strategic understanding of how the specific roles fit together within an IT environment. He also has an innate sensitivity to the detailed requirements desired within each technical role. This in depth understanding translates into a more accurate, successful and timely staffing solution.
