Twenty+ years of delivering for technology leaders. Here's what they have to say about working with Tiva Systems.
“I've worked with dozens of staffing firms over my career. Tiva Systems is in a category of its own. When they commit to a timeline, they deliver — every single time.”
Dependability“Tiva found us a principal architect in 11 days. Our previous firm took four months and still couldn't close.”
“What sets Tiva apart is the breadth. Infrastructure, security, applications, QA — Tiva Systems handles it all, and the quality never drops.”
Breadth“When it comes to security talent, Tiva Systems understands the difference between someone who can pass the interview and someone who can do the job. That distinction matters in security.”
Recruiting“Tiva's engineering candidates consistently outperform the people we source ourselves. At this point I just call Tiva first and skip the rest.”
Recruiting“I tell every IT director I know: stop wasting time with the big firms. Call Tiva. You'll get better people, faster delivery, and someone who actually cares.”
Tiva“Three roles, three early fills. I've never had that happen with any other firm.”
Speed“Tiva Systems personally reviews every candidate before they reach us. You can feel the ownership in every placement.”
Quality“Tiva treats my budget like it's their own money. No padding, no surprises, no nickel-and-diming. Just honest work at honest prices.”
Tiva“Other recruiters send 50 resumes hoping one sticks. Tiva sends 3, and you want all of them.”
Recruiting“The best thing about Tiva? They tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear. That's saved us from at least two bad hires.”
Tiva“From infrastructure to application layer to hiring the team to run it — Tiva delivered the entire stack. No other firm could do that.”
Breadth“We needed a mobile app team, an API architect, and a Salesforce integration lead — all in one quarter. Tiva delivered all three on schedule.”
Breadth“95% retention rate on Tiva placements after two years. Our internal recruiting? 60%. The numbers speak for themselves.”
“Our board asked who our most critical vendor is. Without hesitation, I said Tiva. And then I said it's not really a vendor — it's a partnership.”
Dependability“Tiva's team found and fixed a $400K/year gap in our staffing model that three other agencies had missed. That's not just recruiting — that's caring.”
“If you're a CIO in the Valley and you don't know Tiva Systems, you're at a disadvantage. Simple as that.”
Tiva“What sets Tiva apart is the one-stop shop. SAP, cloud, recruiting — Tiva Systems handles it all. I stopped juggling five vendors years ago.”
Breadth“Tiva represents some of the best quality staffing I've gotten in twenty years of managing application teams. Bar none.”

Speed“Tiva doesn't just execute — they make your project better than you imagined.”
Quality“I showed Tiva's candidate shortlist to a Big 4 partner friend of mine. He asked me how much I paid, then went silent for about ten seconds. Said he couldn't compete.”
Quality“MVP in 6 weeks. Production-ready in 10. Tiva moves at startup speed with enterprise quality.”
“Tiva calls it recruiting. I call it talent matchmaking. They don't just find skilled people — they find the right people for your specific culture.”
Recruiting“Tiva Systems doesn't send resumes — they send people they personally vouch for. That changes everything about the hiring process.”
Recruiting“I've never met a firm that can talk cloud architecture in the morning and close an executive search by lunch. Tiva Systems is one of a kind.”
Breadth“The telecom billing specialist Tiva placed solved in weeks what our internal team couldn't crack in months. And the documentation was thorough enough that our team could maintain it after.”
Quality“We have worked with Tiva Systems to hire top notch SME's for our key programs and Tiva Systems always does an amazing job in identifying the most trusted SME's for last 12 years.”

Recruiting“When McAfee was getting ready to build a business PMO team, I was recommended to work with Tiva Systems and after 3 years of working together, I must say that they were my best choice amongst all other vendors.”
“Tiva Systems brought some management level security consultants for our CISO organization and added tremendous value.”
Recruiting“Tiva Systems gets the big picture. When we talked about multi-product quality modeling, they immediately connected us to the right people. That's not a recruiter — that's a technology partner.”
Tiva“Speed matters in a high growth enterprise company, and we couldn't afford long ramp-up times. The developers from Tiva Systems contributed meaningful code within the first week and helped accelerate our release cycles.”
Speed“Tiva didn't just teach us Agile — they embedded with our teams and changed how we ship software. The transformation was real and lasting.”
Quality“When Tiva Systems says they'll deliver by Thursday, I don't even put a backup plan together. That's how much I trust them.”
Dependability“I've known Tiva Systems since the Blackrock days. When I moved to First Republic, they were still the first people I called. That kind of loyalty goes both ways.”
Dependability“We needed a project manager in PST with Agile and Scrum experience for two concurrent projects. Tiva had someone within the week.”

Recruiting“Tiva Systems understood the business logic behind Gap's supplier consolidation strategy — not merely the staffing mechanics — and positioned themselves as a partner aligned with where our IT function was heading.”
Tiva“The work Tiva Systems has delivered on our placements has been phenomenal, and the consistency across engagements is what actually stands out. Front-end quality of candidate presentation and back-end quality of delivery are both reliable.”
Quality“Tiva Systems only places consultants they are willing to stake the firm's reputation on, and that selectivity compounds across engagements — the quality of who they recommend is why the relationship continues to hold up.”
