Global Partner
Program
Thank you for your interest in becoming a member of our
International Team.
IT-Careernet is based in
Boston, USA, and Lübeck, Germany, with Associates in St. Louis, and
Bangalore, India. To fuel our international expansion we are seeking
to build further alliances with personnel consultancies across the
globe, particularly in the
USA, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, UK,
Japan, Netherlands,
Finland, Sweden, Russia, South Africa, Australia, India, Pakistan, China,
Taiwan, and Singapore.

|
We closely
cooperate with eligible companies under a common brand to profit from synergies of multi-national
operations. These are, in particular, the utilization of
- differing degrees of the availability of
resources
- price and tax
differentials between countries
- know-how transfer to
secure a competitive edge
What does this mean?
Let us look at a example
from early 2001: (1) In Germany, the economic
boom in the banking sector lead to a severe shortage of programmers, while the
US IT industry experienced a slowdown. Programmers laid off in the US
found tremendous opportunities Germany. Its
recent introduction of "Green Cards" for foreign IT-specialists made
this feasible. (2) In
addition, the inversely proportional development of salary levels fueled the
incentive for programmers to move on.
In this scenario, personnel consultancies need a presence in
both the US and Germany to compete effectively.
We are seeking further small to
mid-sized personnel consultancies, which specialize in the IT market. We also consider entrepreneurial IT professionals who have the resources to
make a significant impact within a reasonable start-up period.
Since "What you share is what you get" we
depend on your active cooperation for the benefit of everyone. This enhances our common know-how, organizational growth, and overall
profitability.
To avoid unnecessary and complex legal and tax issues, team
members operate as separate and
independent legal entities.
A.
No Brand - No Blue Chip Business
Corporations are outsourcing entire departments, because the
costs of monitoring an inflated organization far exceed the benefits of focusing
on their core business. Obviously they will therefore not readily do business
with a list of small and mid-sized companies.
B. The Brand Leverages Your Resources
To achieve a maximum impact in our market at a minimum
investment, partnership is based on common denominators:
 |
One pivotal Internet address and website linking all
countries (we chose .com and .tv as past and future international domain
standards)
|
|
One brand or uniform design, which clients
recognize worldwide.
|
|
Minimized marketing costs: E.g. Instead of every member
visiting a trade show, only one representative or delegation suffices;
instead of duplicating design and marketing content, one set of materials is required; and
volume rebates furthermore reduce costs.
|
C. Do you have Millions of Dollars to Spare?
Since the creation of a nationwide or even worldwide brand
costs millions of dollars, you will most likely not
have managed to establish a brand. However, we expect that a good number of you will have established
some form of local corporate identity. We also understand
that you might feel uneasy to sacrifice this identity for the sake of
a common brand. We therefore allow members to operate with dual corporate
designs until they feel comfortable with the common brand. Once you are securely
entrenched in the organization, we believe that the old identity could very well
prove to be a hindrance and that you will be inclined to phased it out voluntarily.
We provide a
platform to facilitate your international expose, growth and profitability. This
service includes your internet presence within a highly specialized IT
community. As in the bricks and mortar world, location is a key to success. (That
is why store merchants chose malls.) Due to our history of marketing of this venue
to IT
professionals, you profit from our exposure instantaneously.

D. Inter-business Transactions
Members receive preferential rates from us for sourcing services and
targeted data mining services.
The organization
is designed to utilize the investments you have already made to run your
firm. For
example, you incur no additional costs by adding a further feature to your
stationary, advertising, and so on. As
Members have been visiting trade shows, networking events, and job fairs per se,
they are, in general, not reimbursed for their participation, which is now also
on behalf of the group. Vice versa, they are not expected to reimburse fellow
Members representing them at fairs and events abroad. This
policy is, of course, subject to review, if the group decides to dispatch a
representative with a defined marketing mission.
Why should you
represent the group at fairs and events?
|
Member firms
in other countries, or provinces invariably do not compete with you:
Promoting them does you no harm! |
|
However,
mutual promotion generates leads for you, and a new client base. |
Since your and our time is very valuable, we minimize
member's contribution to the organization, we structure and automate procedures,
and standardize internal communication wherever possible.
However, the reasonable input required from
members is essential
for the overall success and must receive priority treatment.

overall contribution to the system.
Applications for exclusive representation status in your country,

statues will depend on your past performance and future prospects.
Since we have
subsidized the start-up costs, and incur an additional layer of ongoing

refer a new member which signs up with the organization.
