The IT Pros Story

We are all about taking your job requirements through the entire process, starting from initial intake and extending to sourcing, recruiting, screening, conducting interviews, managing offer stages, and finally, ensuring a successful hire every time.

Our Founding

Founded in 2011 by T. Brad Kielinski, IT Pros initially emerged as IT Pros – Philadelphia, originating as a community for tech enthusiasts situated in the Philadelphia area. This community aimed to foster learning, networking, and mutual growth among members. This initial phase paved the way for the evolution of IT Pros, as it gradually transitioned into aiding enterprises in recruiting suitable personnel for their teams. This journey began locally in Philadelphia, expanded to encompass the East Coast, and eventually encompassed the entirety of the United States.

Over the years, this endeavor has led to the successful placement of numerous individuals in roles spanning from Executive to Individual Contributor positions. Throughout this transformative journey, the central mission has remained unwavering: to facilitate business expansion by connecting them with the right talents.

The origin of the name “IT Pros” can be attributed to the company’s strategic focus on facilitating the recruitment of adept technology professionals with established track records. This emphasis on proven expertise serves to mitigate the risks associated with new hires across the expansive realm of Information Technology. This domain encompasses a wide spectrum of tech-related responsibilities, including the design, implementation, management, and upkeep of computer systems, networks, software applications, and hardware infrastructure.

As a source of pride, IT Pros distinguishes itself as a self-funded recruiting entity, free from external investors. This distinctive characteristic underscores the company’s exclusive dedication to aiding clients in the attainment of their objectives.

Working with Brad on exploring and ultimately attaining a position with the company he was working with has been an absolute pleasure. He stands out above others in his field in that he sincerely listens to your concerns as a prospective employee and takes into account how you feel at every step. Above all, he is honest and straightforward. Your time will not be wasted. I am happy with my placement and wholly recommend working with him to others should they have the opportunity.

Joel Bruno

Technical Implementation Manager

I enjoyed working with Brad and the team at IT Pros. They were professional, responsive, and engaged. They were able to look at my skill set and determine what might be transferable to a new industry. Brad was able to leverage my strengths to find an opportunity that met both my and my new employer's needs. I would recommend working with IT Pros.

Mary Kay Kozeniewski

Human Resource Director

We reached out to Brad to source an IT Manager with very specialized skills for us. Brad "hit the mark" on the first candidate that he sent to us and did so in a short period of time. I would recommend Brad for quickly sourcing the best candidate for your opening.

Max Azzarello

Salesforce Certified Consultant

I had applied to a job that wasn't a great fit, but Brad recognized that there may be another position at the company that I was perfectly suited for! Thanks to Brad's efforts, I had a great job with a fantastic company just three days later. Highly recommended!

Ethan Kenneth Winter

Front End Developer

In the weeks of my job hunt, I was contacted by countless recruiters; most of whom had no interest in paying attention to my skills, wants, needs, or even location. Brad was different. Brad took into consideration not just getting people in for interviews but taking the time to find the positions that fit me best. While other recruiters would waste my time with interviews far outside my skill set, or in cities across the country I had no interest in relocating to, Brad found a position that matched my skills, experience, location, and compensation needs. I would highly recommend working with Brad!

Lori Trzcinski

Salesforce Certified Pardot Consultant

Brad made the process very easy and communicated with me often throughout the process. He asks the right questions and is looking for the best fit on both sides. I am glad Brad and his team were able to find and identify me as a candidate. I was able to find an ideal career fit while filling a much-needed role!

Rich Gallagher

Brad and his IT Pros team have had a tangible positive impact on our technology and product development team's talent acquisition and retention.

They always gave me plenty of context and information before each interview stage, kept me informed about what was going on at every point in the hiring process, and, most importantly, very personable throughout.
