We were recently notified that Texas Monthly magazine has selected Vintage IT Services as one of the best companies to work for in Texas. We look forward to finding out where we fall on the list at their award ceremonies in February.   I hope these awards, especially the Best Places to Work, provide our customers with confidence that their IT provider has a stable work force, as well as talented individuals with the tools to get the answers they need.

Our hiring program is somewhat unique. Although we can test for skill level during the interview process, we don't know how a candidate will communicate with our clients. All of our employment candidates are given behavior tests administered by an outside company called Maximize. These assessments give us insight into behavioral styles, how they filter information, and how the candidates will communicate with others.

The most successful associates at Vintage IT Services have the ability to be sensitive to others, can communicate well, want to complete the job, and are creative problem solvers with high skill levels. Having these assessments is low in cost compared to making hiring mistakes that could have a negative impact on our customers or our team.
