Lorien Recruitment - Chicago - Illinois

Lorien is a specialist technology staffing and workforce solutions firm serving enterprise employers across the United States. For companies that need skilled technology professionals quickly, or want a trusted partner to manage their entire contingent workforce program, Lorien offers the full range of engagement models under one roof. It is the kind of outsourcing partner built specifically for organizations where technology hiring directly affects program delivery. The core of what Lorien provides is flexibility across delivery models. Staff augmentation places specialist contractors within your existing team on a time-and-materials basis, with your organization managing the work directly. Managed service provider (MSP) programs go further, with Lorien handling supplier management, compliance, and reporting across your entire contingent workforce. Statement of work (SOW) engagements are outcome-based: Lorien's team owns a defined scope and is accountable for deliverables and milestones, not hours logged. Recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) is available for employers scaling permanent technology hiring, and executive search rounds out the offering for senior IT leadership roles. Technology disciplines covered include artificial intelligence and machine learning, cybersecurity, cloud and DevOps, data science and analytics, software engineering, mobile development, CRM and ERP systems, and program and change management. Industries served span banking and financial services, healthcare and life sciences, aviation IT, energy and utilities, telecommunications, transportation, retail, and data center infrastructure. This specialist focus means deeper candidate networks and stronger technical screening than a generalist firm can offer. With over 45 years of IT staffing experience and more than 20,000 technology professionals placed every year across the US, Lorien brings scale and depth that broader staffing firms rarely match. The firm was named a Star Performer in the 2025 Everest Group PEAK Matrix for US IT Contingent Talent and Strategic Solutions. Typical specialist contractor placement runs two to four weeks when procurement is clear, and Lorien works with employers upfront to confirm access, onboarding, and dependencies before a contractor's first day. If you are looking to add a single specialist, outsource a defined project scope, or build a managed program for your contingent workforce, reach out to Lorien's US team to discuss the engagement model that fits your situation.
