SimSTAFF, Technical Services forms alliance with S.A.C. Visa, LLC

ORLANDO, Fla. (June 05, 2009) -- SimSTAFF Technical Services, which recruits and places engineers and technicians in the simulation, modeling, training and gaming industries, has formed a new alliance with Nashville-based S.A.C Visa LLC (www.sacvisa.com). 

Craig Fouts, director of operations at SimSTAFF Technical Services, said together the two firms will be able to leverage their complementary expertise and expand the markets they both serve.

The alliance is part of SimSTAFF's ongoing strategy to build a network of partners that enables them to maintain their reputation of providing high quality talent for highly specialized needs.

S.A.C. has extensive background in placement of former military officers and technicians. They also have strong immigration knowledge regarding H1B employees, E-3s and other talent pools from international markets like Australia and Singapore., said Fouts.  

"For many of the clients we serve, the market for highly specialized skills is global," Fouts said. "To find the right workers for a specific task, we may have to search worldwide," he explained. "S.A.C.'s expertise will help us do that."

SimSTAFF Technical Services is a client of the University of Central Florida Business Incubation Program and located at the Technology Incubator in Central Florida Research Park.
