Segula's clients look for all levels and skill types within IT and software engineering. Whether you are running a help desk, programming, designing algorithms or managing a project; we would like to help you. Why not take a moment to browse the opportunities that we currently have to offer?

 
How will I know that I am being spoken to about opportunities that best suit my background, experience and needs?
All of Segula's Resource Managers are very experienced and have been trained to interview you thoroughly with a view to finding out exactly what vertical industries and technologies would be best suited for you. Our Resource Managers make sure that the fit is right not only from a skills perspective but also in regard to those other important features such as commuting, hours, rates, work environment etc.

 
How will I be kept informed of suitable opportunities?
When a suitable position becomes available you will be contacted by a Segula Resource Manager who will walk you through the role. Only when we have your permission will we submit you to our client.

 
Where are Segula's clients located? Does Segula only have projects in their office locations? I live in Kansas City.
Segula has cleints throughout the entire US through their 9 offices strategically placed in Massachusetts, Northern and Southern California, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Texas, Arizona, and Colorado. So the answer is no, the opportunities we have are not just from our office locations.

 
Do I have to pay Segula any fee to find work for me?
You pay nothing. Candidates represented by Segula pay no fee. Any fees are always client paid.

 
Does Segula have a Consultant Care Program?
Yes. Included in the program will be the Resource Manager walking you through your new assignment on the first day (geography permitting) and to make sure that you have everything you need including time sheets etc. We will also ensure that you know the payroll procedures. Once on site and working, Segula will be in frequent contact both by telephone and site visits (including lunches!). You will also have a named contact in our Consultant Services Division who will be your liaison for all payroll issues.

 
I have always been in a permanent job, what is involved in becoming a consultant and what are the benefits of contracting?
For the professional with solid work experience and current skills who is authorized to work for any employer in the US, becoming a consultant can be an exciting endeavor. Many professionals work this way enjoying the flexibility, exposure to different work environments, in some cases opportunity to travel as well as the likelihood of a higher remuneration. We also place into contract-to-hire positions which will allow you to temporarily work in a role to see whether you like it before taking on a more long term commitment. Contracting is not always a short term option, a number of Segula consultants have been on assignment for much longer. To find out more of what contracting has to offer, call a Segula Resource Manager near you to find out more.

 
IC or W2? What is required to qualify as an Independent Consultant?
To secure an assignment through Segula you can work as a W2 employee and we will pay you on a weekly basis. We do partner with Independent Consultants and to do this we need to be sure that the consultants company is incorporated with a valid EIN number and general liability insurance of no less than $500,000 and workers compensation cover of not less than $10,000.00.

What happens when my assignment comes to an end?
Your Segula Resource Manager will work closely and proactively with you to either extend your current assignment or to work with other Segula staff to find your next opportunity.
