-Emmet Ehlberg, Business Communications Services operations manager in New York
The main advantage is that you are not spending a lot of money training consultants. Our operation is on the leading edge of technology. If we're going to the trouble of training people,
their skills ought to be transferable within AT&T. Another point is that we didn't have to fit
people into an organization chart. I didn't have to. worry whether a level-six person could report
to another level-six. That was a big advantage because I could get the level of expertise
I needed to do the job. When the job is completed, I can let these people go off to another assignment.
It is so much easier to sign a contract with Resource Link for six months or a year than it is to transfer a permanent employee in and then to try to move them out a year later.
