Convergenz

"An Opportunity to Help"

It started on day one. Convergenz, LLC began in July 2000, at what was fast evolving into the “Dot Com bust” and a rapid rise in unemployment. Our own customers were getting laid off en masse and sending us their resumes, desperate for work. Despite the recession that followed, little by little, we were able to successfully help find people opportunities; and as a company survive this difficult time in our economy. Over ten years later, our mission of connecting people with jobs has never seemed more important.

By the nature of the Staffing Industry, Convergenz is in a unique position to help, and positively affect peoples’ lives. For over a decade we have been able to assist professionals through historically turbulent times in the American economy. From the Dot-Com bubble, through the post 9/11 wave of layoffs, and the “Great Recession” of 2008—we have been able to offer help and resources to people who have needed access to new career opportunities. Whether it was making a major career change, or simply needing to be placed on a contract assignment to get through “right now”—we hope that we are able to help our consultants and clients through these times of uncertainty.

When we think of what sets us apart from our competition, we immediately come back to the fact that we have big company success but do it with a small company touch. Hands on, no red-tape, responsive to peoples’ needs, inquiries, and requests. In other words—Provide Great Service All the Time. When we founded Convergenz, we set out to build a firm that we would want to work for. Be a successful business – but do it the right way, in the boardroom and in the community.

Every day is an exercise in self-reflection —we look to get better, to learn, and grow. We set out to make a positive difference every day, and take pride in the results.
