Prequel Solutions

Prequel Solutions is a workforce solutions firm headquartered in the Pittsburgh area, serving clients and candidates across the United States. It was established in 2003 and describes itself as a workforce solutions firm rather than a staffing firm.

The firm recruits in information technology, finance and accounting, engineering and robotics, and business banking, and fills executive roles from manager and director to VP and C-suite level. It works on a contract, contract-to-hire, direct hire and project support basis, and also runs executive search. It says its screening combines identity validation, live skill assessment and fraud signal detection before candidates reach interview, and it reports a 98% success rate across contract, contract-to-hire and direct hire placements.

Beyond placement, Prequel offers compensation benchmarking and advisory services, including compensation band creation and pay equity analysis. Its managed service project support covers recruiting, onboarding, performance management and workforce continuity for a client's team. It lists WOSB, WBENC, SBD and LGBT certifications. Jen Frazier is president and Dan Cain is vice president.
