(PRWEB) December 5, 2003
Boston, MA, – December 16, 2003 - The Training Associates, the largest and oldest provider of IT trainers, announces that Gary Sicard has joined their ranks as Recruiting Manager.
Gary will be responsible for managing the qualification and interviews for new IT trainers and negotiating contract prices with both trainers and customers to maximize quality while minimizing cost. A highly skilled professional, with over 15 years of experience as a successful staffing, recruiting, HR generalist and business person, Gary has management experience in diverse industries such as technology, manufacturing and publishing.
Even with the prospect of an economic rebound, companies are continuing to utilize business process outsourcing (BPO) as a cost-saving measure. Companies want to continue to train their employees, but do not want the cost of staffing an education department. Because the education of employees is as important as ever, by keeping training as a variable cost rather than a fixed cost, corporations can continue to offer this benefit to their valuable employees.
“Gary’s background will prove to be invaluable as we continue to build industry best-practices for our trainers and customers” said Victor J. Melfa, CEO and President of The Training Associates. "His efforts in this arena will be the cornerstone of The Training Associates ability to continue to deliver the most highly-proficient IT trainers to our customers at the best market price.”
Prior to joining The Training Associates, Gary was the district manager for Marathon Staffing Group. At Marathon, he was responsible for all phases of sales and service for temporary staffing. He managed and directed efforts of all recruiting and office personnel.
Previously, Gary has held high-level HR positions at Corning Incorporated, GSI Lumonics, Cahners Publishing, and Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC).
Gary served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War.
The Training Associates has been the innovative leader in the IT trainer staffing industry since 1994. With over 5,000 qualified IT trainers teaching over 10,000 classes per year, The Training Associates is the largest provider of contract and full-time IT trainers in North America. Leading technology partners include Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, Cisco, Intel, HP, and Novell.
