ANA, Calif., March 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing to innovate new
services in the IT Channel, the world's largest technology
distributor, Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE:IM), today announced a lineup
of professional staffing and recruiting services called IT Staffing
Solutions. Available immediately to all Ingram Micro solution
providers in the United States, the new professional services
assist solution providers with locating and qualifying trained
technical personnel on a temporary, part-time or full-time basis.
Ingram Micro has segmented its IT Staffing Solutions into three
affordable offerings: * Temporary, Project-based Staffing: Ideal
for short-term needs, this option offers both low-end labor and
high-end specialized technical resources. * Temporary-to-Hire:

solution in which the solution provider pays only 12 percent of the

engineers or developers quickly and at a reasonable rate is a
challenging task in any city," says Brian David, COO, The Lloyd

Solutions empower us to bring the necessary talent on board as we
need it and with little-to-no hassle. It's much easier and more
