Smoothstack Inc

Smoothstack Inc. has revolutionized IT recruitment with its unique hire-train-deploy (HTD) model. It fosters new talent while offering strategic consulting and project support in Application Development, Cloud, Digital Platforms, Data Engineering and AI, and Cybersecurity. Operating from McLean, Virginia, this innovative company serves an impressive roster of Fortune 500 companies and federal agencies, with over 46 federal agencies benefitting from its scalable talent solutions. Its corporate client list features notable names like Verizon, Morgan Stanley, and Accenture, and its partnerships extend to significant technology providers such as AWS, Databricks, and Salesforce, enhancing its service capabilities across various IT challenges. Smoothstack's approach diverges from traditional recruitment models by utilizing a modern apprenticeship method, integrating AI and data science to develop merit-based pathways for diverse, outstanding talent in the IT sector. The company begins by recruiting software engineers at the onset of their careers and guiding them through an innovative training process called Mirrored Environment Immersion. This method replicates the technology environments of its clients, ensuring candidates are thoroughly prepared for their roles. After an intensive eight to twelve-week training period, these professionals are deployed to client sites for at least two years. The company manages all aspects of employment, from hiring to payroll, thus allowing clients to augment their workforce seamlessly. Smoothstack Inc. champions diversity and inclusion, with 58% of its workforce comprising women and minorities, substantially above the industry average. The company also actively supports military veterans through programs like the DOD SkillBridge and Virginia Values Veterans, facilitating their transition into civilian IT roles.
