Celebrating 20 Years of Business
"I've come to really place a lot of confidence in Taos' judgment. Since Taos is always interested in investing in the long-term relationship, their decision-making process continuously results in what's best for the customer. When push comes to shove, I know Taos will help me solve problems that are in the best interest of my company and my situation. It's never about a near-term goal for Taos, which has resulted in me returning to them time and again."
- Charles Webster, Former Chief Financial Officer, Tessera Technologies, Inc.

"During my nearly twenty years of working in Silicon Valley, I've worked as a contractor on eight different assignments prior to joining Taos. In each assignment, I found myself feeling a bit like the "Lone Ranger," not an employee of the company and somewhat on my own. Since joining Taos, I've come to appreciate being part of a very knowledgeable team that I know I can both tap for assistance and to contribute to. This has filled a missing area of my professional life more than I would have expected. As I've come to know my fellow Taosers better and better and learned their areas of expertise, I feel confident I have a good idea of who to turn to if I run into a challenge on my assignment that in the past would have left me scampering to come up to speed on. This allows me to be more confident and relaxed and to present a more solid, professional image to my client. This is a very satisfying situation to find myself in, and I'm very happy to be here!"

"I view Taos as a true partner. From Ric Urrutia and Coco Brown and down the chain of command, I call upon Taos whenever I feel that I need reliable and competent resources. I know I'm going to get my needs taken care of. I have always felt that their level of customer service and attention to my issues go far beyond anything I've received from other services organizations in my long career."

"Returning to Taos was an easy decision for me. As an organization with its finger on the pulse of Silicon Valley, it offers a collaborative work environment that recognizes and rewards hard work and results. Best of all you never feel like a number, instead you are a valued member of a large extended family."

"Taos is a wonderful place to work. When you are on your assignment, you have the entire Taos consultant team to support you. The VTC Forum is your buddy which you can really count on. I like Taos and Taos' Culture."

"I came to Taos in 2006 after the company I worked for drastically downsized after September 11th and after I had worked with my share of staffing agencies doing various projects. While it was fun and interesting to tackle problems that tested my knowledge and experience, endeavors like these make one feel like he is taking on the whole world. As a Russian idiom has it, "Single man in the field is not a warrior." Once I started at TAOS, "Army of One" is not the motto anymore. Now it is more along the lines of the Musketeers' "One for all and all for one."
Classes, discussion boards, the ability to try new technologies and ideas in a lab environment, to ask the entire community if help is needed and to talk to staff managers if there is something "brewing" at the client site (instead of the "shoot and forget" model of so many placement agencies) and name recognition most definitely makes a winning combination for one's career advancement and ability to sleep soundly at night!"

"One of the things I like the most about working for Taos is that, with every assignment, I learn new things and gain more valuable skills. Another is the supportive environment. Staff Management has always been there to help me with my assignments and with my career. I came back to Taos because it provided me with job flexibility and career growth. It was nice to see that they were confident in my abilities and ready to find me an assignment that was a good fit for me."

"Taos has provided me with a unique opportunity to both reach out to the community and let the community reach out to me. I have never worked in an environment as cohesive and with as many skilled and talented people helping each other as I have both internally at Taos and in its client community. The potential to grow (with and within Taos) has consistently amazed me, and to that end, Taos provides an excellent service for finding the right job for the right person."

"After being a Taos consultant turned client twice, I rejoined Taos in the summer of 2008. My previous position at Yahoo was fun, but being a Taos consultant is a lot more fun, challenging and rewarding! Happy 20th Anniversary!"

"Taos has been a business partner of mine for some time. At Silicon Graphics, Taos manned our support centers for Tier 2 and 3 support and assisted me with experts when needed for professional services projects. At Globix, Taos helped man our world class NOC in all domestic locations. Now at Tessera, Taos has helped architect network security, server virtualization, Active Directory redesign, database management, and SharePoint development resources. No matter where I go, Taos has helped me be successful as the CIO to bring world class people to real world situations. They are my business advantage."
- Alayne Gyetvai, CIO, Tessera, Inc.
