Ottawa, ON, March 15, 2006 - Eagle is pleased to announce the release of the first IT Contractor Certification Program in the Canadian IT Staffing Industry. The Eagle Certified Professional IT Contractor Program recognizes and rewards excellence in the IT contractor profession.
IT contractors who have worked with Eagle will be eligible for the program which is designed to “raise the bar” for IT Contract Professionals. In order to be eligible an IT contractor needs to be technically excellent in their role, professional in their conduct and adhere to an industry benchmark Code of Conduct. Eligibility will be confirmed through job references, acceptance and adherence to the Code of Conduct and by Eagle’s positive experience with the contractor.
There are many benefits to the IT contractor, including a valuable job reference, an industry certification, membership in an elite group and special status with Eagle. It is also expected that clients and other agencies will recognize the status accorded to recipients of the certification.
“We are excited about this program and pleased to be able to recognize the truly professional IT contractors who perform excellent work, year in and year out, in our industry,” said Kevin Dee, Eagle’s CEO. “Independent IT contractors bring a ton of value to the economy and this is a program that sets those great professionals apart. Adoption of the Code of Conduct itself will identify those contractors who believe in high ethical standards, a definite benefit to our end clients and the staffing industry as a whole.”

Although we can all appreciate having codes of conducts and maintaining a level of professionalism in any work we do, I am not sure if Eagle is in a position to be making such certifications for the industry as a whole. This to me just looks to be a means by which they can market their own services as "better than the rest". Is their real focus on making for a better industry or for to protect themselves in their own contracts with clients?
It makes more sense to have an industry level certification and code of conduct, similar to what engineers have, than for each staffing company making up their own set of rules. This is little more than a publicized contract term from what I can tell.
Perhaps Eagle could help form an industry group to look into this further and grow it as an industry initiative and not merely a company level item. |
