Staff Work for Network Consultants, Desktop Support Technicians,
Security Consultants, and Online Support Technicians
Progent is seeking to hire full-time, solutions-oriented Microsoft certified consultants with Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer certification; Cisco certified network engineers with Cisco CCIE certification; security professionals who have CISSP, CISM, or CISA or equivalent security credentials; and advanced network design experts with experience in mobile access, wireless networking, high availability, disaster recovery, data protection, and server virtualization. Progent also seeks professionals who can join Progent's staff of desktop support specialists and off-site support experts. Also, Progent is seeking experienced administrators who can perform effectively in our high-growth, virtual office environment.

By maintaining a staff of talented and dedicated consultants, providing world-class customer services, and offering a competitive value-focused fee structure, Progent has been able to increase our client list dramatically while providing consulting services to numerous businesses in the San Francisco area and throughout the United States. An advanced virtual office environment, a shared knowledge base, and a group strategy for problem resolution have helped Progent to retain a talented staff and a loyal client list.

For a network professional with troubleshooting experience, teaming with Progent or helping Progent's customers will expand your knowledge via cooperation with our staff of mutually team-oriented, talented consultants. Our commitment to delivering information technology expertise and technical help to small companies will give you the opportunity to collaborate closely with key players and add significantly to the success of dynamic companies.

We are hiring consultants that have verifiable certification in their special focus. For example, if you are a Microsoft consultant, you should have your Microsoft MCSE credential. For Cisco consultants, have your CCIE or CCNP credential. For security, you should have you CISSP, Certified Information Systems Auditor, Certified Information Security Manager, or other leading security certifications. Of course, Progent is familiar with "paper experts". Notwithstanding, simply because a certificate can not ensure excellence is no excuse for not earning one. If you have mastered your stuff, then most of these tests should present no great difficulty. The crux of the matter is that if you represent yourself to be an expert, then clients expect credentials. We will promote your skills, but you should provide standard credentials for Progent to market. In case you stand strongly against the idea of certifications, Progent can sympathize with and respect your position, but you are likely not an appropriate fit.

To promote the success of our consultants, we invest heavily in making available the most powerful tools to do the job efficiently. Progent will leverage technology to an impressive degree and our state-of-the-art virtual office infrastructure enables seamless communications, collaboration, and information sharing with other Progent consultants — entirely from home-based or mobile offices. Consultants don't throw away time or forfeit income with daily commutes to a conventional office, and all driving you do for on-site customer jobs is based on your own schedule, not ours. The best part is that most of Progent's consulting services can be performed remotely, representing 100% efficiency for billable time. In fact, some of our staff do off-site consulting only.

Progent's business structure is set up for reacting quickly and efficiently to client needs via information sharing and collaborative problem resolution. Although Progent's consultants work with a high level of freedom, dispatching is centralized, client issues and solutions are carefully monitored, documented, and archived for easy reference, current engineer schedules are published to facilitate group tasks and enable trouble escalation, and customer satisfaction is continually monitored. We strengthen the feeling of connection through monthly workgroup conferences and regular corporate events.

Most of Progent's team is located across California, however we are attracting a quickly growing team of consulting professionals throughout America. Our virtual office environment eliminates regional obstacles that restrict the efficiency of traditional business models.

We lately marked the delivery of support to our 1,000th client. Try typing “Cisco consultants” or “Microsoft consultants” into Google to check for yourself why Progent is also an effective marketing operation.

Having a commitment to technical excellence is a cornerstone for success with Progent. A job in consulting will drive you to enhance your skills more than you would in any other position in network technology. Being confronted by a steady series of network challenges is what makes professional support exciting. Clients rely on consulting firms to perform the toughest jobs. Creative projects, advanced implementations, vexing or entrenched problems, and tricky migrations are the foundation for what we do daily. At Progent, you will not stagnate or be narrowly defined, as is sadly typical for computer professionals in traditional corporate jobs. You will awake every morning enthusiastic about the opportunities to come.

Along the way, you will work with some great people, both by establishing strong client relationships and by working in conjunction with other Progent consultants, where you will learn from and contribute to their success. Of course, technology is vital, but Progent is a relationship-focused organization through and through. If you don't have strong people skills or like working with a varied group of people, then we are in all likelihood not a good fit.

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