Before the next contract req goes to the incumbent
Stephen asked us to show it works. This is the note that would go out over his name, and three New Jersey and New York employers whose own job boards list open technology roles today.
The note
Sent over Stephen's name to the person who owns technology hiring at each employer. One question, no attachment, no price.
Subject the contract role that stays open
Hi {first name},
Most technology teams in New Jersey and New York have an agency they call first for contractors. It fills the common roles quickly and the specialist ones slowly.
Pierce has placed contract and permanent technology staff from Holmdel, New Jersey since 1992.
Which technology role is your current agency slowest to fill?
Stephen Morrell Pierce, Holmdel NJ
A draft for Stephen to change before anything is sent. The 1992 start and the contract and permanent scope are Pierce's own statements on its site.
Priority screen
Each one's own job board lists open technology roles on 2 October 2026. Research priority, not a claim about its agency.
Its job board lists a Systems Administrator and an Engineer II in IT Infrastructure, a QA Engineer II, a Full Stack Engineer and a Senior Microsoft Dynamics 365 Configurator in Fort Lee.
Why now: Five open technology roles at one bank, two on the same infrastructure team. The note would go to its Chief Information Officer.
Its job board lists a Project Manager for a Technology Modernization Program, an Enterprise Architect, a SIEM Engineer and an IT Asset Infrastructure Manager at 1114 Avenue of the Americas.
Why now: A named modernization program is rollout work that usually runs on contractors. The page does not say how the bank staffs it.
Its job board lists a Staff Software Engineer and a Director of Data Science with Jersey City among the locations.
Why now: An insurer building its own technology team. The roles also list other cities.
Repeatable screen
Headquarters or a technology office in New Jersey or New York City.
Financial services, insurance or healthcare, the sectors Stephen staffs.
A named technology leader: CIO, CTO, or a VP or head of technology or engineering.
Its own job board lists an open technology role on the day the note goes out.
