Granite Solutions Groupe Helps Sponsor the 28th Annual March of Dimes Charity Golf Tournament

Global recruiting firm connects childhood memories with support of November 6 event at S.F. Olympic Club

San Francisco, CA, October 30, 2006 -- Granite Solutions Groupe (Granite), a San Francisco-based financial services and IT recruiting firm, announced today its sponsorship of this year’s Annual March of Dimes Golf Tournament on November 6th at The Olympic Club here in San Francisco.

Granite, a proud sponsor of the charity event, specializes in the placement of highly skilled senior-level Project Managers, Business Analysts and IT Managers at global firms throughout the financial services and IT Market.

“Recruiter Ray Sarlatte and I have fond memories of walking for the March of Dimes when we were kids,” explained John Henning, Granite's San Francisco-based Director of Business Development. “It left a lasting impression on us, and we’re thrilled to continue the relationship as adults by supporting this great tournament, and by giving back to Bay Area communities.” The money raised by the annual tournament helps support research programs to find out how to prevent premature birth, and to help the families who experience it.

Granite attracts the best financial and IT talent in the industry through extensive research, networking and industry contacts, and offers greater value than high-priced consulting firms without sacrificing quality and domain expertise.

As the world’s financial and IT powerhouses see the effects of fewer knowledgeable and experienced resources for their key management positions, progressive companies are looking for alternatives to the old retained and contingent systems. Granite recently introduced Guaranteed Retained Search Services (GRSS), turning the industry on its head by giving clients exclusive, dedicated focus while also providing flexibility and reduced recruiting fees.
