Additional Facts Concerning Opportunities with Us

Fulltime Jobs for Network Consultants, Desktop Support Specialists,
Security Experts, and Remote Help Technicians
Progent is seeking to find staff-level, results-driven Microsoft accredited consultants with Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer credentials; Cisco certified system engineers who have CCIE certification; security professionals with CISM or equivalent security certification; and advanced system design experts with experience in mobile access, wireless connectivity, service continuity, workplace recovery, information protection, and VMware. Progent also is hiring professionals to join our team of desktop service technicians and remote support professionals. Also, Progent is seeking experienced managers who can operate productively in our high-growth, virtual office environment.

By supporting a team of talented and motivated consultants, delivering world-class customer services, and offering a competitive results-based pricing model, Progent has been able to expand our customer base rapidly while providing professional services to hundreds of businesses in the San Francisco area and throughout the U.S. A sophisticated virtual office network, a common knowledge database, and a team strategy for problem resolution have helped Progent to maintain a skilled consulting team and a loyal customer base.

For a network professional with troubleshooting experience, joining Progent or working for Progent's clients can enhance your skills through cooperation with Progent's staff of highly team-oriented, talented engineers. Progent's commitment to providing network expertise and technical help to small companies will give you the chance to collaborate intimately with key players and contribute significantly to the success of dynamic companies.

We are hiring consultants that can show verifiable certification in their special focus. So, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you must have your Microsoft MCSE credential. In the case of Cisco consultants, have your Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert or CCNP credential. For network security, you should show you CISSP, Certified Information Systems Auditor, Certified Information Security Manager, or one of the other leading security credentials. Of course, Progent is aware of "paper experts". However, the fact that a credential can not ensure expertise is no excuse for not earning one. If you know your stuff, then the majority of those certifications should present no challenge. The point is that if you are an expert, then clients expect credentials. We will broadcast your skills, but you must provide standard credentials for Progent to work with. If you stand strongly against the idea of certifications, Progent can sympathize with and respect your opinion, but you are probably not an appropriate candidate.

The most important factor that differentiates us from other consulting companies is the high caliber of our service staff.

Whether it's Microsoft Windows, Cisco firewalls, network security, Mac, Linux/UNIX, virtual servers, or other crucial areas, we deploy experts who can enable you to be effective on major jobs by leveraging the collective skills of Progent's group of experts.

To ensure the success of Progent's team, we invest heavily in providing the best technology to do the job properly. Progent will leverage information technology to an extraordinary degree and our state-of-the-art virtual office environment enables seamless communications, cooperation, and information exchange with other Progent consultants — entirely from home-based or mobile offices. You don't throw away time or forfeit revenue with regular drives to a physical office, and any travel you do for on-site customer jobs is determined by your own schedule, not ours. The best part is that much of our consulting services can be performed remotely, offering maximum productivity for billable time. In practice, some Progent team members do off-site support only.

Our operations are set up for responding rapidly and effectively to customer needs via information sharing and cooperative problem solving. Even though our consultants work with a great deal of independence, resource allocation is centralized, customer issues and resolutions are meticulously monitored, recorded, and archived for convenient reference, current consultant availability is broadcast to streamline group tasks and enable problem escalation, and customer approval is always evaluated. We reinforce the sense of connection through monthly workgroup conferences and regular corporate events.

Most of our consultants are located across California, but Progent is building a rapidly expanding team of network professionals from across the U.S. Progent's virtual office environment does away with regional boundaries that restrict the productivity of traditional company structures. We complete the package by offering a comprehensive benefit program to promote the health and economic welfare of our employees and their families.

Possessing a passion for technical proficiency is a key for success with Progent. A job in consulting will push you to enhance your skills more than you would in any other position in network technology. Being exposed to a continual stream of network challenges is what keeps professional support exciting. Customers choose consultants to do the “hard stuff.” Innovative projects, advanced deployments, vexing or entrenched problems, and tricky upgrades are the basis for what we do every day. At Progent, you will not stall or be pigeonholed, as is sadly common for network professionals in ordinary corporate jobs. You will wake up every day enthusiastic about the challenges ahead.

Along the way, you will meet some great people, both by establishing strong client relationships and by working closely with other Progent team members, where you will benefit from and contribute to their success. Of course, technology is vital, but we are a relationship-oriented organization heart and soul. If you don't have excellent communications skills or enjoy working with a varied group of people, then we are probably a poor match.

If all this sounds right for you, we invite you to talk to us about our vision of the future of information technology consulting.
