 dedicated individuals who recruit consultants with both business and technology expertise. Our recruiting team supports our hiring process by focusing on the highest demand solution areas of our business to ensure an adequate pipeline of new associates. We also have an employee referral program, which rewards existing employees who source new hires.

As of December 27, 2024, we had 1,478 associates, excluding subcontractors, 82% of whom were billable professionals. We do not have any associates that are subject to collective bargaining arrangements, however, in France, our associates enjoy the benefit of certain government regulations based on industry classification. We have entered into nondisclosure and non-solicitation agreements with virtually all of our personnel. We also engage consultants as independent contractors pursuant to written agreements that contain non-disclosure and non-solicitation provisions.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

One important way we put our values into action is through our commitment to the communities where we work. We do so by encouraging and supporting our associate’s communities and personal volunteer and service programs and social gatherings.
