Our Approach

FAQ
Common Questions About Managed Service Providers Recruiting
What makes MSP recruiting different from standard IT hiring?+
MSP professionals serve multiple clients simultaneously, often with radically different technology environments. They need to communicate complex issues to non-technical stakeholders, adhere to strict SLAs, and document everything thoroughly. A candidate who thrives in a single-company IT environment may struggle in an MSP — we screen for the difference.
What roles do you most commonly place at MSPs?+
Help desk and technical support, systems engineers, network engineers, cloud engineers, and cybersecurity professionals are our most common MSP placements. We also place project managers and, less frequently, IT leadership for growing MSPs.
Can you place candidates with specific vendor certifications (Microsoft, Cisco, etc.)?+
Yes. We source for specific certifications including Microsoft 365, Azure, Cisco CCNA/CCNP, CompTIA, and others. Certification requirements vary by role and client, and we confirm credentials before presenting candidates.
How quickly can CRB fill an open MSP role?+
IT roles at MSPs are in high demand, but our active network means most clients see a first shortlist within 5–10 business days for direct hire and 3–5 days for contract. Help desk and technical support roles often move faster given the volume of qualified candidates.
