We will promote your talents, but you need to have a baseline of credentials for Progent to work with. In case you stand strongly against the concept of credentials, we can understand and respect your opinion, but you are likely not an appropriate fit.

In fact, some Progent staff do off-site support exclusively.

Our operations are geared towards responding quickly and effectively to client requirements through information exchange and collaborative problem solving.
