Keep recruiters online. Keep client data safe. Never lose a placement to downtime again.

You run a people-first business. When your systems lag, recruiters lose candidates — and credibility.
At Strive Technology Consulting, we help staffing and HR firms eliminate downtime, protect sensitive data, and build reliable IT foundations that keep your team productive — wherever they work.

Who We Serve

Outsourced staffing and HR firms with 20–80 employees that:

  • Manage candidate, payroll, or client data that must stay secure
  • Rely on systems like Bullhorn, JobDiva, BambooHR, and Paylocity
  • Have team members across multiple states, even if the company is Colorado-based
  • Want consistent, proactive IT management — not a string of emergencies

You focus on connecting people to opportunity.
We make sure your technology never gets in the way.

How We Help Staffing & HR Firms Thrive

1. Uptime That Builds Trust

When recruiters can’t log in or calls drop, revenue stops.
We enforce hundreds of proactive standards each quarter to keep your systems running smoothly — so your recruiters can focus on placements, not passwords.

2. Smart Security — Not “More Tools”

Cybersecurity isn’t about collecting apps; it’s about closing gaps.
We assess your environment using a well-respected security framework, identify vulnerabilities, and implement pragmatic fixes that strengthen your entire network — without falling for the “shiny object” trap.

3. Compliance Confidence (Including PCI)

If your staffing firm processes payments or sensitive PII, we help you meet PCI requirements and document your protection measures.
Our process-first approach ensures you’re always audit-ready — without extra admin headaches.

4. People-Focused IT Partnership

Technology is the easy part. What sets us apart is our focus on people, not just systems.
We listen first, communicate clearly, and make IT understandable — so owners and teams can make confident business decisions.

Why Staffing Firm Owners Choose Strive IT

  • We’re rooted in Colorado’s Front Range, serving local firms with care — but fully equipped to support employees anywhere in the U.S.
  • We secure your entire environment holistically, not with piecemeal tools.
  • We measure outcomes — productivity, uptime, and trust — not just ticket counts.
  • We align IT with your mission, helping you grow without chaos.

I had been with my previous IT provider for over seven years, so I was used to a certain way of doing things. But after meeting with the Strive team, it was clear just how much the technology-and my needs-had evolved. What stood out to me was how comprehensive their approach is. They took the time to explain not just what they were doing, but why it mattered-things I hadn't even considered, like backing up email already stored in the cloud. It's clear they're not just putting out fires-they're proactive. And by that, I don't just mean they stay ahead of problems, but that they actually help me understand what I might be missing before it becomes an issue. Even though I consider myself fairly tech-savvy, they pointed out gaps I hadn't thought about, and it was like, 'Aha! That makes sense.' As someone who handles sensitive financial data for clients, security is non-negotiable. I appreciate that they understand the needs of businesses like mine and take a security-first approach. It's a level of communication and foresight I didn't have with my previous provider, and it's made a big difference.

FAQ — What Staffing Firm Owners Need to Know

1. What makes Strive different from other IT companies?

We take a people-first, process-backed approach to technology.
Our team enforces over 300 IT standards each quarter and holds itself accountable to the same frameworks we use for clients — ensuring continuous improvement on both sides of the partnership.

2. How do you understand the staffing industry’s unique needs?

We’ve supported recruiting and HR firms for nearly two decades.
We understand the urgency, the data sensitivity, and the pressure of running a high-velocity staffing operation — and we design IT systems that match that pace.

3. How do you keep our data secure without overcomplicating things?

We look at security holistically — across people, process, and technology — instead of chasing the latest tool.
Our framework-based approach identifies the real risks that matter and closes them efficiently, without cluttering your stack with unnecessary apps.

4. Are you only local to Colorado?

We’re proudly based in Boulder and serve businesses across Colorado’s Front Range, from Denver to Fort Collins and beyond.
Many of our clients are headquartered here but have employees nationwide — and our systems are built to support that seamlessly. You get local partnership with national reach.

5. How do you help with compliance?

We help firms that handle payments or personal data maintain PCI compliance and follow cybersecurity best practices that protect both client and candidate information.
You get peace of mind and documented proof of protection.

6. What should I look for when choosing an IT company for my staffing firm?

Look for three things:

  1. Process – Do they follow a consistent, measurable framework?
  2. Partnership – Do they communicate clearly and understand your business goals?
  3. Accountability – Do they track and report performance metrics that actually matter?

If a provider can’t confidently show you all three, keep looking.

7. How long does it take to get started?

Most staffing firms are fully onboarded in 30–45 days.
We stabilize your systems, standardize configurations, and transition seamlessly — so recruiters stay productive throughout.

8. Do you offer co-managed IT?

Yes. We extend your internal IT with enterprise-grade tools, documentation, and process support — so your internal team stays focused on higher priorities.

9. What kind of reporting do you provide?

Quarterly reviews show your uptime, security health, and progress toward industry standards.
We turn IT data into simple, business-focused insights you can act on.
