Starpoint’s Resource Qualification Process

We provide higher-caliber, qualified resources

Starpoint employs a three-tier screening methodology for hiring employees for a client’s team or our team for screening our resources for client projects and project augmentation

Step 1: Trained from a functional and technical perspective, our resource managers source, screen and interview initial candidates. Approved candidates are then forwarded

Step 2: Starpoint functional and technical managers validate skills and confirm candidates’ hands-on experience

Step 3: Starpoint CTO and practice director conduct final interviews to approve or reject the candidate

“I have been working

with Starpoint for the

past 6 years. They do

an outstanding job of

screening candidates

properly in both

technical skills and

soft skills. We know

that when Starpoint

has partnered with us

on a project, staffing

initiative or retained

search, we will find

the right resource in a

short period of time.”
