Tech Company Goes Global

Pride Tech has been synonymous with high-end technical solutions for over a decade in our city. With an ever increasing request for technical talent, the professional recruiting and staffing sister brand, Russell Tobin, will now work in concert with Pride Tech. Pride Global is the parent company of both brands, having just been named one of Staffing Industry Analysts’ “Best Staffing Firms to Work For” list for 2017, with locations nationwide as well as in Brazil and India. Mike Krieger is introducing Russell Tobin to impact the talent pipeline of our city while continuing to build upon a reputation of accountability, commitment and dedication to clients.

Mike Krieger has long been a thought leader, offering high-end technical solutions for over a dozen years through Pride Tech, a subsidiary of Pride Global headquartered in New York City. Mike knows technology, understands people and impacts business by ensuring the best solution is implemented for each unique client situation. Naturally, clients also look to Mike to identify resources for special projects or grow their technical teams. At the end of the day it comes down to trust. Clients need someone they know will solve their business problems as it pertains to technology solutions and technical talent. Enter Russell Tobin, the professional staffing and recruitment arm of Pride Global, a minority owned human capital solutions and advisory firm.

Russell Tobin employs the same consultative approach as Pride Tech to building a tailored solution customized to each client. There is no single template that can be applied as a “one size fits all” as there are unique challenges and circumstances that accompany each client relationship. At the core of what the Pride Global family offers, is service. With 20,000 staffing and recruiting firms in the United States, according to Staffing Industry Analysts, it’s important to differentiate. In the Greater Cincinnati area, it is certainly service and relationship that set companies apart in this field.

As the Managing Director of Pride Tech, Mike knows the impact his sister brands will have in our market. Each brand within the family of businesses is a business impact player to their respective clients. By solving human capital related problems, the bottom line sees an immediate return. The Pride Global network of companies focuses on a diverse array of human resources solutions including managed services, vendor management, payroll programs, business process optimization and staffing for both direct hire and contingent labor. 

Companies will need a dynamic leader in the space of human capital solutions as businesses and the workforce that supports these organizations continue to evolve. The contingent labor market is expected to grow exponentially and companies will need a way to manage this workforce while also identifying the brightest talent. Some believe that artificial intelligence will displace staffing and recruiting firms, however, they forget that this is the business of humans. In an economy where nearly all degreed people that want to work are working, it takes a relationship based in trust and respect to discuss looking at alternative opportunities in the market place.

Beyond assisting clients with technology and human capital solutions, Mike looks to leverage the robust prospects in the greater Cincinnati area to attract, retain and grow new talent. Having a generous number of fortune 1000 companies in the area, excellent higher education options, an outstanding commitment to the arts and a vigorous startup culture only rivaled by Silicone Valley, Cincinnati is ripe with opportunity. 

Mike was the inspiration behind LEAD magazine as a vehicle for recognition for the tech community in our region. In concert with LEAD, comSpark was birthed as an expanded platform for other thought leaders, entrepreneurs and students inspired by technology to come together over a two day period to explore, exchange and celebrate. In essence, this type of connection and sense of community focus is what has always drawn people to work with Mike, Pride Tech and now, Russell Tobin. With leaders like Mike and others published in this magazine, a network of committed technology trailblazers will continue to weave the rich fabric, putting Cincinnati on the map as a top city for innovation and culture.

Who wouldn’t want to work and play here? Cheers to Cincinnati and the future ahead for Russell Tobin as well as the continued success of Pride Tech in our fair city. Stay tuned for more offerings from Pride Global to attract, equip and retain the best talent on the local region and beyond.
