Company Organization

In selecting an IT Consulting Partner, many organizations look for a company with National
presence and local consulting resources for each office site. SA TECHNOLOGIES has the
organizational structure and internal resources to support our customers nationally while
remaining focused on their local needs at each site. We have offshore development centers in
Singapore and India.

With corporate headquarters in Santa Clara, California, and offices strategically placed
throughout the United States, SA TECHNOLOGIES is able to support all of its customers locally.
Every office has full access to the complete range of corporate resources and is connected to a
national wide-area network, to a national email system, and to our proprietary web-based
recruiting tools.

Each branch office has flexibility within our common business practices to address the unique
challenges of your local requirements while receiving centralized support from corporate
resources. This maximizes our recruiting efficiency because each office is familiar with the local
recruiting environment and provides a local account team to attend to our customers’ needs.



Competitive Strengths

We believe that our competitive strengths differentiate us from our competitors and have
allowed us to successfully create a sustainable and scalable national IT Consulting services
business. Our competitive strengths include:

National and International footprint: We believe our name, high-quality consultant base, and
broad geographic presence gives our clients a distinct advantage. We currently engage
approximately 300 consultants and offer a wide range of IT consulting expertise, including ERP,
Database Administration, Analysis and Data warehousing, Web Application development and
integration, application programming and development, client/server development, systems
software architecture and design, systems engineering and systems integration. Our coast-to-
coast presence of 5 offices allows us to meet the needs of our clients on a national basis, as
well as build local relationships. For our large customers that have multiple IT centers in the
U.S., our geographic coverage allows us to provide consistent high quality service through a
single point of contact.

Our Employee Base: We believe our strength is our employees. With over 300 experts in our
consulting practice carrying tons of experience allows us to deliver the best to our clients. Our
employees are our biggest Asset. Each employee has a story to tell. They have achieved
milestones and are expert in their areas.

Focus on IT services: Unlike many of our competitors, we are focused on the IT sector. As a
result, we are able to commit our resources and capital towards a focused goal.

Substantial and diverse customer base: Our diversified client base covers a broad spectrum of
vertical markets, including financial services, telecommunications, manufacturing, information
technology, government, pharmaceutical, transportation, and health care.

Extensive recruiting channels, as well as effective hiring process: The placement of highly
skilled personnel requires operational and technical knowledge to effectively recruit and screen
personnel, match them to client needs, and develop and manage the resulting relationships. We
maintain a proprietary database that contains more than 300,000 candidates, and we also
recruit through the Internet, local and national advertising, and trade shows. Additionally, we
have a National Recruiting Center in the U.S. and an offshore recruiting center in India. All of
these resources assist us in locating qualified candidates quickly, often within 48 hours of a
client placement request. We believe that our operational expertise provide us with a
competitive advantage in meeting the demanding time-to-market requirements for placement of
these candidates.

Complementary service offerings: In addition to IT staffing, we offer our customers
resource/human capital management services, project solutions, and permanent placement of
IT professionals, which help us to build and enhance our relationships with new and existing
clients.

Proven management team: Our management team has significant staffing industry experience.
SA TECHNOLOGIES is a leader in the industry. The SA TECHNOLOGIES Management Team
continues to successfully implement that vision by combining decades of solid business
experience with an energetic, innovative management style.



SA TECHNOLOGIES - Strategic Accounts Program: We operate a Strategic Accounts Program
that has both a client- and industry-specific focus to ensure that relevant resources are available
to and have an understanding of our clients’ industries. This program serves as a formal but
flexible framework providing SA TECHNOLOGIES with the concentration, responsibility, and
accountability that enables us to proactively address the expectations of our national clients.
The continued industry-specific focus of our strategic management team results in their
ongoing growth in key competencies, understanding of industry culture, and knowledge of the
environment in which these clients do business. Another extremely beneficial feature of the
program is its provision for both “lateral” and “vertical” accountability.

Scalable infrastructure: We have a scalable information technology and transaction processing
infrastructure. Our back-office functions, including payroll, billing, accounts payable,
collections, and financial reporting, are consolidated in our shared services center in Santa
Clara, California. We believe this infrastructure will facilitate our internal growth strategy and
allow us to continue to integrate acquisitions rapidly.

Staffing – Contract and Permanent Placement

SA TECHNOLOGIES’ core competency is the delivery of Information Technology resources whose
skills, experience, and aptitudes match the specific criteria designated by our clients and whose
industry vertical experience and personal traits most closely align with client culture and
operating environment. With a nationwide network of consultants and a database of 300,000
resumes, we are uniquely positioned to provide qualified candidates that meet all position
requirements, including the hard-to-fill positions. Since our founding, we have earned a
reputation for providing effective and responsive recruiting and client support processes. We
support clients throughout the United States from our nationwide network of branch offices. We
recruit IT talent locally, nationally, and internationally.

SA TECHNOLOGIES recognizes the importance of recruiting the best and the brightest talent.
We’ve built a reputation for providing skilled IT contractors to industry-leading firms and public
sector clients. Whether our client needs to meet a critical deadline, ensure the accuracy of an
important deliverable, or simply fill an IT staff position, we understand how important it is to
meet every client requirement with the best person available.

To that end, SA TECHNOLOGIES employs various measures to recruit qualified consultants. SA
TECHNOLOGIES employs an industry-superior recruiting force, that search for technically
qualified candidates in multiple ways, including the Internet, local and national advertising,
consultant referrals and current SA TECHNOLOGIES contractors who are completing their
assignments. SA TECHNOLOGIES also utilizes the network of referral relationships it has built
within the industry and searches among other qualified consultants who have completed their
assignments. The following paragraphs provide an overview of our approach.

Recruiting Practices

To ensure the requisite criteria are met on every placement, it is critical to have a thorough and
rigorous recruiting process. Over the years, SA TECHNOLOGIES has continually refined and
improved its recruiting process to capture the best practices in our industry. Our approach is
rooted in two key elements:

8| 2700 Augustine Dr. Suite 285 Santa Clara CA 95054 Ph. (408) 400 3900 F: 650 963 3238


Great recruiting starts with great relationships. The better we understand the client’s
environment, the better we can do at providing the right people. Great relationships are
enhanced by great feedback. In today’s competitive landscape, candidates often have multiple
opportunities. Quick and detailed feedback between SA TECHNOLOGIES and our business
partners often makes the difference in getting the right candidate or not.
SA TECHNOLOGIES’ recruiting methodology is predicated on the foundation of great relationships
and feedback. The number one key to successfully recruiting the right candidate for the job,
understands the job. SA TECHNOLOGIES ensures this understanding by conducting a “requirement
qualification call” with the hiring manager. Present on the call (or meeting) is the Business
Relationship Manager and the Recruiter that will be recruiting for the position. The Business
Relationship Manager utilizes a standardized document that creates the template from which they
will recruit. Once the call is completed, the Recruiter is solely responsible for finding the correct
candidate for the job. Using the myriad of tools available – including other Recruiters in the office
and region, they seek to find the best three candidates, not the first three candidates for the job.
A key factor in this process is that the hiring manager has full access to the Recruiter throughout the
process – a great flow of information develops as the Recruiter works on behalf of the hiring
manager in finding the right person. Seeking to make the hiring manager’s job easier, the Recruiter
is responsible for scheduling interviews, getting follow-up, and dealing with any questions along the
way. The Business Relationship Manager continues to be involved – making sure that the process
moves along smoothly and is always ready to step in and assist in any way necessary.
The SA TECHNOLOGIES process uses many common steps along the way. They include:
Requirement Qualification Call (or meeting) with customer hiring manager(s) to review/confirm
job requirements and skills, number of personnel, work environment, culture, other information
Initial candidate selection
Screening interview (by phone)
Detailed face to face interview
Technical qualification utilizing Subject Matter Experts
Reference checks (minimum of three)
Presentation of recommended candidates to client
Candidate interview and selection by client
Background (employment history, criminal, education) and drug screening – in
compliance with client requirements
Candidate Start and regular follow-up by branch personnel

Sourcing Methods
SA TECHNOLOGIES' recruiting team searches for technically qualified candidates in multiple ways,
including the Internet, local and national advertising, consultant referrals and current SA
TECHNOLOGIES contractors who are completing their assignments. SA TECHNOLOGIES also utilizes
the network of referral relationships it has built within the industry. It is SA TECHNOLOGIES’
experience that the best consultants are not posted in the open market, but are found by word of
mouth. Additionally, SA TECHNOLOGIES searches among other qualified consultants who have
completed their assignments. If these searches do not produce a match to the requirement, we
search local candidates who have recently submitted their resumes or interviewed with our
placement managers.

Innovative Recruitment Quality Programs
SA TECHNOLOGIES also has other SA TECHNOLOGIES-developed proprietary programs to further
satisfy requirements and to promote improvement in overall recruitment efficiency and quality:
SA TECHNOLOGIES Elite Recruiting Team: SA TECHNOLOGIES Elite Recruiting team is comprised of
a group of highly proficient SA TECHNOLOGIES Recruiters across multiple SA TECHNOLOGIES offices.
This team will be deployed on demand to any branch to support:
Large client projects with quick turnaround requirements
Client needs for extremely hard to find skill sets
Branch requirement overflow

SA TECHNOLOGIES Pipeline Recruiting Program: Our new candidate incentive program
encourages pipelining of new candidates into our database and provides a constant flow of qualified
candidates to submit on jobs through searching and referrals. When a Recruiter brings in a new
candidate and pre-qualifies that candidate completing the “SA TECHNOLOGIES Walkthrough
Requirements, all other recruiters have visibility to the pipelined candidate and have compensation
incentives to qualify, submit and place these candidates. Pipelining quality candidates into our
database will allow us to make faster better quality submittals.
Recruiting Certified Lead Program: SA TECHNOLOGIES Certified Lead Recruiters are responsible for
satisfying all of the responsibilities of the Recruiter and in addition have responsibilities unique to
their lead role, including training new Recruiters, mentoring recruiters within the branch /
department and providing various reports and assuring the recruiting staff adheres to system
requirements, productivity metrics, etc. SA TECHNOLOGIES Lead Recruiters also take part on a daily
basis in job requirement prioritization. This program ensures that the client will receive high quality,
consistent recruiting methodology regardless of client location/in every SA TECHNOLOGIES branch.
SA TECHNOLOGIES Excellence in Performance: (EIP) is a methodology around improving our
individual/collective performance in the key areas that we deem most critical in growing our
business effectively. The EIP brings a level of consistency to our coaching/feedback for continuous
improvement and provides the instrument to keep that improvement efforts top-of-mind. This
program ensures that the client will receive high quality, consistent recruiting methodology
regardless of client location/in every SA TECHNOLOGIES branch.
