Staffing firm Kavaliro acquires the Orlando and Charlotte offices of Skills

Thursday 2 September 2010 @ 2:21 am

Orlando, FL - July 2, 2010 – Kavaliro today announced its entry into the arena of technical and professional staffing solutions via the acquisition of the Orlando and Charlotte offices of SkillStorm, a leading provider of specialized staffing services across the nation.  Forged from the owners, leaders, and top producers of SkillStorm and recently acquired SGIS, the new company marches onward, better positioned to serve their clients with a more dynamic and proactive approach.  Kavaliro represents an extension of the shared vision that true strength comes from a collaborative and open-minded environment where employees, clients, candidates and consultants all are supported and empowered to succeed.

The decision to step out of the comfort zone of their successful endeavors was not an easy one to make, but partners Mark Moore, John Mahony, Diane Symes-Mahony and Bill Peppler relished the opportunity to grow and nurture something they could call their own.   Peppler explains, “The four of us considered where we stood, and we realized we wanted to run our own company, one that was streamlined and more agile, and one in which our employees were given the freedom to grow”.   After constructing a savvy business plan and agreeing on a mutually beneficial buyout with their other business associates, they were ready to move forward with their brainchild, Kavaliro.

Derived from Esperanto, the international language of collective harmony and mutual understanding, the term Kavaliro means “knight”, and it pays homage to the institution that brought the friends and partners together, the University of Central Florida.  Years after their time at UCF, the partners bring their respective work experience and expertise back together in this new venture.  The acquisition of the Charlotte and Orlando offices of SkillStorm was a natural next step.

Kavaliro will continue the work of its predecessors in providing outsourced technical solutions to state and local government agencies.  The acquisition will also allow for continued specialization in project management consulting, outsourcing, and staff augmentation solutions within the areas of information technology, engineering, healthcare, and green energy.  Altogether, the entity will offer a wide array of technical and professional staffing solutions that will serve a diverse client base that currently spans 13 states, with plans to serve clients nationwide.

All 125 of the current internal and external employee base will be retained, with plans to add 2-3 internal employees in both Orlando and Charlotte before the end of the summer.   Management estimates that they will add another 60 high wage external positions before the end of the year.  The newly formed entity will be headquartered in Orlando.

About Kavaliro:

By using best practices and optimal employee recruiting strategies, Kavaliro provides employers with integrated staffing solutions, providing only the most qualified professionals who can fill both project and permanent positions in order to ensure the ongoing success of all types of businesses.

Kavaliro accomplishes much more for their clients by passing on the time and cost benefits of reduced back-office bureaucracy.  The company represents an extension of a vision shared by a group of seasoned staffing professionals who have developed strong relationships in the industry and who recognize that true strength comes from a collaborative and open-minded environment where employees, clients, candidates and consultants all are supported and empowered to succeed.

Making the most of your time in college

Wednesday 1 September 2010 @ 1:54 pm

Planning on eventually becoming a professor? If so,  then you probably want to know something about how your university or college’s Grants Management System works. Many of us are already aware of the fact that  having sufficient funding to conduct university based research as well as independent research is an integral part of becoming a successful professor. Every year  , the Grant Management System at various universities figure out what funds are available and help to keep information organized so that university administrators can keep track of which grants are active versus which ones are no longer active or are closed.

If you are interested in applying for a grant, be prepared to do a little leg work . For starters, it helps to know what you are actually going to be writing about. After you’ve finished picking out your research topic, ask other professors or simply speak with someone in your department’s administration about the various grant options that are available. If you are already in the middle of applying for a professorial admission to a university or college, then chances are , you’ve already had some exposure to grant writing and are somewhat familiar with the process. If you dig around a little and look at other alum students’ theses, you will more than likely find that many of them wind up thanking whatever grant fund or people behind a particular grant for assisting them with funding for their research project. 

Behind the scenes, however, what many of us fail to realize is that grants are typically made possible and/or available due grant tracking software as well as grants management software. Such software usually  includes grant management software tools for macro-level management for both active as well as pending research project grants. to boot, this same grant accounting software includes features such as compliance monitoring and time and effort tracking, both which are hugely important in the research world. It is not enough to be meticulous with your own research. Rather, it is even more important that your funding is properly credentialed, as this greatly affects the university or other source where the funds are coming from . Department grant accounting software also helps to provide elaborated management of individual research projects as needed for grant accounting in various universities.
