Innovatix International Recruitment Team: Linchpin of the Development Teams LoB
This paper provides an overview of the Innovatix International Recruitment Team (IIRT) and profiles the main elements of success that make it one of the most successful and important parts of our company. IIRT is the critical part of our Development Teams Line of Business (LOB), as shown in the chart below. IIRT has been a Service Offering of Innovatix Technology Partners, a Macrosoft, Inc. company, for well over the last three decades and has contributed tremendously and consistently to our company’s success. The next sections of this paper provide a profile of this organization, the basic services offered, the types of clients we serve and highlights some of the success metrics of the organization. All the people recruited and hired by IIRT are for positions and clients in the US. There is a second part to our Development Teams LOB, as shown in the chart, a small US-based Recruitment Team that we profile in a second paper. For the most part, the two teams work independently and have different client bases. However, whenever it makes sense, the teams collaborate closely to secure and place new team members with some of our clients. Shown in the chart are four key support organizations within Innovatix that work closely together with the International Recruitment Team to ensure efficiency and success of the overall operation. We describe the roles of these support functions in a later section. We are highlighting this organization within Innovatix to increase visibility to more of our clients and prospects. This is an outstanding and exciting part of our company that makes a big difference in the success of our clients. Over the last two years, this organization accelerated growth and is now well positioned to scale up much further. As described below, the organization is now taking on several major new growth opportunities that greatly increase the scale and impact of this organization. To date, we have not ‘marketed’ our work in this area. The clients currently served have come in primarily thru network connections. Others are utilizing IIRT after having worked with us in one of our other five lines of business. With this paper we are beginning to get the word out.

Development teams are structured and empowered to organize and manage their own work. The resulting synergy optimizes overall efficiency and effectiveness. Among the key functions development team members perform are planning, testing, analysis, programming, and many other activities throughout the course of the project. It’s not likely that all team members will have all the necessary skills to complete a project. What makes a good development team?
