                             EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

  This Employment Agreement (the "Agreement") by and among COTELLIGENT, INC., a
Delaware corporation ("Cotelligent"), FASTECH, INC. (the "Subsidiary"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Cotelligent, and RICHARD M. HIRSH (Employee") is
hereby entered into and effective as of the 4th day of January, 1999 ("Effective
Date").  This Agreement hereby supersedes any other employment agreements or
understandings, written or oral, among the Subsidiary, Cotelligent and Employee.

                                 R E C I T A L S

  Whereas, as of the Effective Date, the Subsidiary is engaged primarily in the
business of providing computer consulting and contract programming services;

  Whereas, as of the Effective Date, Cotelligent is acquiring all of the capital
stock of Subsidiary pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and
Merger, dated as of even date herewith among Cotelligent; Cotelligent
Philadelphia, Inc.; Broomall SFA, Inc.; and each stockholder of Broomall SFA,
Inc. (the "Purchase Agreement");

  Whereas, in order to facilitate, and as a condition to the closing of the
Purchase Agreement, the Employee must enter into this Agreement with the
Subsidiary and Cotelligent, including the non-competition provisions contained
herein;

  Whereas Employee is employed hereunder by the Subsidiary in a confidential
relationship wherein Employee, in the course of his employment with the
Subsidiary, has and will continue to become familiar with and aware of
information as to the Subsidiary's and Cotelligent's customers, specific manner
of doing business, including the processes, techniques and trade secrets
utilized by the Subsidiary and Cotelligent, and future plans with respect
thereto, all of which has been and will be established and maintained at great
expense to the Subsidiary and Cotelligent; this information is a trade secret
and constitutes the valuable good will of the Subsidiary and Cotelligent; and

  Whereas, the Subsidiary and Cotelligent desire to assure themselves that the
experience and skill of Employee will remain available to the Subsidiary and
Cotelligent and their respective successors.

  Therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises, terms, covenants and
conditions set forth herein and the performance of each, it is hereby agreed as
follows:

                              A G R E E M E N T S

  1.  Employment and Duties.

          (a) The Subsidiary hereby employs Employee as President.  As such,
     Employee shall have responsibilities, duties and authority reasonably
     accorded to and
<PAGE>

     expected of a President and will report directly to the President and Chief
     Operating Officer of Cotelligent or to such other senior executive of
     Cotelligent as may be designated by the President and Chief Operating
     Officer of Cotelligent. Employee hereby accepts this employment upon the
     terms and conditions herein contained and, subject to Section 1(c), agrees
     to devote his time, attention and efforts to promote and further the
     business of the Subsidiary.

          (b) Employee shall faithfully adhere to, execute and fulfill all
     lawful policies established by the Subsidiary.

          (c) Employee shall not, during the term of his employment hereunder,
     be engaged in any other business activity pursued for gain, profit or other
     pecuniary advantage if such activity interferes with Employee's duties and
     responsibilities hereunder. The foregoing limitations shall not be
     construed as prohibiting Employee from making personal investments in such
     form or manner as will neither require his or her services in the operation
     or affairs of the companies or enterprises in which such investments are
     made nor violate the terms of Section 3 hereof.

  2.  Compensation.  For all services rendered by Employee, the Subsidiary shall
compensate Employee as follows:

          (a) Base Salary.  Effective on the Effective Date, the base salary
     payable to Employee shall be $175,000 per year, payable on a regular basis
     in accordance with the Subsidiary's standard payroll procedures but not
     less than monthly.  On at least an annual basis, the President and Chief
     Operating Officer will review Employee's performance and may make increases
     to such base salary if, in its reasonable discretion, any such increase is
     warranted.  Such recommended increase would, in all likelihood, require
     approval by the Board of Directors of Cotelligent or a duly constituted
     committee thereof.

          (b) Incentive Bonus Plan.  For fiscal year ending March 31, 2000, and
     subsequent fiscal years, Employee shall be eligible to participate in the
     Cotelligent Compensation Plan, which sets forth the criteria under which
     Employee and other officers and key employees will be eligible to receive
     bonus awards.  Employee shall not be eligible to participate in such
     program for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1999.

          (c) Executive Perquisites, Benefits and Other Compensation.  Employee
     shall be entitled to receive additional benefits and compensation from the
     Subsidiary in such form and to such extent as specified below:

              (i)  Participation for Employee in coverage for Employee and his
          dependent family members under health, hospitalization, disability,
          dental, life and other insurance plans that the Subsidiary or
          Cotelligent may have in effect from time to time, benefits provided to
          Employee under this clause (i) to be at least equal to such benefits
          provided to Cotelligent executives.

                                       2
<PAGE>

              (ii) Reimbursement for all business travel and other out-of-pocket
          expenses reasonably incurred by Employee in the performance of his
          services pursuant to this Agreement. All reimbursable expenses shall
          be appropriately documented in reasonable detail by Employee upon
          submission of any request for reimbursement, and in a format and
          manner consistent with the Subsidiary's expense reporting policy.

              (iii) Four (4) weeks paid vacation for each year during the period
          of employment ending on the anniversary of the date on which the
          period of employment commenced (pro rated for any year in which
          Employee is employed for less than the full year).

              (iv) The Subsidiary shall reimburse Employee $500.00 per month for
          expenses incurred in connection with the leasing or acquisition of an
          automobile.

              (v) The Subsidiary shall provide Employee with other executive
          perquisites consistent with those provided to other senior executives
          of subsidiaries of Cotelligent as may be available to or deemed
          appropriate for Employee by the Board of Directors of Cotelligent and
          participation in all other Subsidiary-wide or Cotelligent-wide
          employee benefits as available from time to time.

  3.  Non-Competition Agreement.

          (a) Employee shall not, during the period of his employment by or with
     the Subsidiary, and for a period of two (2) years immediately following the
     termination of his employment under this Agreement, for any reason
     whatsoever, directly or indirectly, for himself or on behalf of or in
     conjunction with any other person, persons, company, partnership,
     corporation or business of whatever nature:

              (i) engage, as an officer, director, shareholder, owner, partner,
          joint venturer, or in a managerial capacity, whether as an employee,
          independent contractor, consultant or advisor, or as a sales
          representative, in any business selling any products or services in
          direct competition with the Subsidiary or Cotelligent (including the
          respective subsidiaries thereof) within 100 miles of where the
          Subsidiary or any of its subsidiaries conducts business (the
          "Territory");

              (ii) employ, offer to employ or call upon for the purpose or with
          the intent of enticing away from or out of the employ of the
          Subsidiary or Cotelligent (including the respective subsidiaries
          thereof) any employee of the Subsidiary or Cotelligent (including the
          respective subsidiaries thereof) who is employed, at that time, within
          the Territory, in a sales representative or

                                       3
<PAGE>

          managerial capacity, provided that Employee shall be permitted to call
          upon and hire any member of Employee's immediate family;

              (iii) call upon any person or entity which is, at that time, or
          which has been, within one (1) year prior to that time, a customer of
          the Subsidiary or Cotelligent (including the respective subsidiaries
          thereof) within the Territory for the purpose of soliciting or selling
          products or services in direct competition with the Subsidiary or
          Cotelligent within the Territory;

              (iv) call upon any prospective acquisition candidate, on
          Employee's own behalf or on behalf of any competitor in the computer
          consulting and contract computer programming business, which candidate
          was to Employee's knowledge called upon by either the Subsidiary or
          Cotelligent (including the respective subsidiaries thereof) or for
          which the Subsidiary or Cotelligent made an acquisition analysis, for
          the purpose of acquiring such entity;

              (v) disclose the identity of, or any other information in respect
          of any customer, whether in existence or proposed, of the Subsidiary
          or Cotelligent (including the respective subsidiaries thereof) or any
          subsidiary thereof to any person, firm, partnership, corporation or
          business for any reason or purpose whatsoever except to the extent
          that the Subsidiary or Cotelligent (including the respective
          subsidiaries thereof) has in the past disclosed such information to
          the public for valid business reasons.

          Notwithstanding the above, the foregoing covenant shall not be deemed
     to prohibit Employee from acquiring as an investment not more than one
     percent (1%) of the capital stock of a competing business, whose stock is
     traded on a national securities exchange or over-the-counter.

          (b) Employee acknowledges the difficulty of measuring economic losses
     resulting from any breach of any of the provisions of this Section, that
     the award of a monetary judgment for any such breach would be an inadequate
     remedy and that immediate and irreparable damage could be caused thereby
     and consequently, Employee agrees that  (i) Cotelligent shall have the
     right to obtain, in addition to any other rights Cotelligent may have, in
     any court of competent jurisdiction or before any tribunal of arbitrators,
     injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach, of any of
     the provisions of this Section or otherwise to enforce specifically any of
     the provisions of this Section, (ii) Cotelligent shall not be obligated to
     post a bond or other security in seeking such relief and (iii) these
     remedies shall be in addition to damages directly or indirectly suffered by
     Cotelligent and reasonable attorneys fees.

          (c) Employee acknowledges and agrees that each of the foregoing
     covenants in this Section 3, individually and taken as a whole, impose a
     reasonable restraint on Employee in light of the activities and business of
     the Subsidiary or Cotelligent (including Cotelligent's other subsidiaries)
     on the date of the execution of this Agreement and the current plans of
     Cotelligent (including Cotelligent's other

                                       4
<PAGE>

     subsidiaries) and that it is the intent of the parties that such covenants
     be construed and enforced in accordance with the changing activities,
     business and locations of the Subsidiary and Cotelligent (including
     Cotelligent's other subsidiaries) throughout the term of this covenant. For
     example, if, during the term of this Agreement, the Subsidiary or
     Cotelligent (including Cotelligent's other subsidiaries) engages in new and
     different activities, enters a new business or establishes new locations
     for its current activities or business in addition to or other than the
     activities or business enumerated under the Recitals above or the locations
     currently established therefore, then Employee will be precluded from
     soliciting the customers or employees of such new activities or business or
     from such new location and from directly competing with such new business
     within 100 miles of its then-established operating location(s) through the
     term of this covenant.

          It is further agreed by the parties hereto that, in the event that
     Employee shall cease to be employed hereunder, and shall enter into a
     business or pursue other activities not in competition with the Subsidiary
     or Cotelligent (including Cotelligent's other subsidiaries), or similar
     activities or business in locations the operation of which, under such
     circumstances, does not violate clause (i) of this Section 3, and in any
     event such new business, activities or location are not in violation of
     this Section 3 or of Employee's obligations under this Section 3, if any,
     Employee shall not be chargeable with a violation of this Section 3 if the
     Subsidiary or Cotelligent (including Cotelligent's other subsidiaries)
     shall thereafter enter the same, similar or a competitive (i) business,
     (ii) course of activities or (iii) location, as applicable.

          (d) The covenants in this Section 3 are severable and separate, and
     the unenforceability of any specific covenant shall not affect the
     provisions of any other covenant.

          (e) Employee acknowledges and agrees that a portion of the
     consideration received by the Employee pursuant to this Agreement is paid
     by the Subsidiary in exchange for the covenants contained in this Section,
     and therefore, that each of the scope, time and territorial restrictions,
     individually and taken as a whole, are reasonable.  Moreover, in the event
     any court of competent jurisdiction or any tribunal of arbitrators shall
     determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are
     unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such
     restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which such court or tribunal
     of arbitrators deems reasonable, and that the several covenants contained
     in this Section shall be thereby reformed.

          (f) All of the covenants in this Section 3 shall be construed as an
     agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the
     existence of any claim or cause of action of Employee against the
     Subsidiary or Cotelligent, whether predicated on this Agreement or
     otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Cotelligent
     or the Subsidiary of such covenants.  It is specifically agreed that the
     period of two (2) years stated at the beginning of this Section 3, during
     which the agreements and covenants of Employee made in this Section 3 shall
     be effective, shall be computed

                                       5
<PAGE>

     by excluding from such computation any time during which Employee is in
     violation of any provision of this Section 3.

  4.  Place of Performance.

          (a) Employee understands that he may be requested by Cotelligent to
     relocate from his present residence to another geographic location in order
     to more efficiently carry out his duties and responsibilities under this
     Agreement or as part of a promotion or other increase in duties and
     responsibilities.  In such event, if Employee agrees to relocate, the
     Subsidiary will pay all reasonable relocation costs to move Employee, his
     immediate family and their personal property and effects.  Such costs may
     include, by way of example, but are not limited to, pre-move visits to
     search for a new residence, investigate schools or for other purposes;
     temporary lodging and living costs prior to moving into a new permanent
     residence; duplicate home carrying costs; all closing costs on the sale of
     Employee's present residence and on the purchase of a comparable residence
     in the new location; and added income taxes that Employee may incur if any
     relocation costs are not deductible for tax purposes.  The general intent
     of the foregoing is that Employee shall not personally bear any out-of-
     pocket cost as a result of the relocation, with an understanding that
     Employee will use his best efforts to incur only those costs which are
     reasonable and necessary to effect a smooth, efficient and orderly
     relocation with minimal disruption to the business affairs of the
     Subsidiary and the personal life of Employee and his family.

          (b) Notwithstanding the above, if Employee is requested by Cotelligent
     to relocate and Employee refuses, such refusal shall not constitute "cause"
     for termination of this Agreement under the terms of Section 5(c).

  5.  Term; Termination; Rights on Termination.  The term of this Agreement
shall begin on the date hereof and continue for three (3) years, unless
terminated sooner as herein provided.  This Agreement and Employee's employment
may be terminated in any one of the following ways:

          (a) Death.  The death of Employee shall immediately terminate this
     Agreement with no severance compensation due to Employee's estate.

          (b) Disability.  If, as a result of incapacity due to physical or
     mental illness or injury, Employee shall have been absent from his full-
     time duties hereunder for four (4) consecutive months, then thirty (30)
     days after receiving written notice (which notice may occur before or after
     the end of such four (4) month period, but which shall not be effective
     earlier than the last day of such four (4) month period), the Subsidiary
     may terminate Employee's employment hereunder provided Employee is unable
     to resume his full-time duties at the conclusion of such notice period.
     Also, Employee may terminate his employment hereunder if his health should
     become impaired to an extent that makes the continued performance of his
     duties hereunder hazardous to his physical or mental health or his life,
     provided that Employee shall have furnished the Subsidiary with a written
     statement from a qualified doctor to such effect and provided,

                                       6
<PAGE>

     further, that, at the Subsidiary's request made within thirty (30) days of
     the date of such written statement, Employee shall submit to an examination
     by a doctor selected by the Subsidiary who is reasonably acceptable to
     Employee or Employee's doctor and such doctor shall have concurred in the
     conclusion of Employee's doctor. In the event this Agreement is terminated
     pursuant to this Section 5(b), Employee shall receive from the Subsidiary,
     in a lump-sum payment, within ten (10) days of the effective date of
     termination, the base salary at the rate then in effect for whatever time
     period is remaining under the term of this Agreement or for one (1) year,
     whichever amount is lesser.

          (c) Good Cause.  The Subsidiary may terminate the Agreement forthwith
     after giving written notice to Employee for good cause, which shall be: (i)
     Employee's willful, material and irreparable breach of this Agreement; (ii)
     Employee's gross negligence in the performance or intentional
     nonperformance (continuing for ten (10) days after receipt of written
     notice of need to cure) of any of Employee's material duties and
     responsibilities hereunder; (iii) Employee's willful dishonesty, fraud or
     misconduct with respect to the business or affairs of the Subsidiary or
     Cotelligent which materially and adversely affects the operations or
     reputation of the Subsidiary or Cotelligent; (iv) Employee's conviction of
     a felony crime other than traffic offenses; or (v) chronic alcohol abuse or
     illegal drug abuse by Employee.  In the event of a termination for good
     cause, as enumerated above, Employee shall have no right to any severance
     compensation.

          (d) Without Cause. Should Employee be terminated by the Subsidiary
     without cause, Employee shall continue to receive from the Subsidiary or
     Cotelligent the base salary at the rate then in effect for whatever time
     period is remaining under the term of this Agreement or for one (1) year,
     whichever amount is lesser.

          (e) Good Reason.  Employee may resign and terminate his employment
     hereunder for "Good Reason" (which shall also be deemed a termination by
     the Subsidiary without cause).  For purposes of this Agreement, "Good
     Reason" means (i) the failure to elect and continue Employee as President
     of the Subsidiary, (ii) assignment to Employee of duties, authorities,
     responsibilities and reporting requirements materially inconsistent with
     his position and otherwise as set forth herein, or if the scope of
     Employee's duties and responsibilities as President of the Subsidiary are
     in the aggregate materially reduced, (iii) a breach by the Subsidiary or
     Cotelligent of any material provision of this Agreement, including, but not
     limited to, a reduction in or failure to make timely payment of Employee's
     compensation and benefits from those required to be paid or provided in
     accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or (iv) the failure of
     the Subsidiary to obtain the written assumption of its obligations to
     perform this Agreement by any successor to all or substantially all of the
     assets of the Subsidiary at or before consummation of a merger,
     consolidation, sale or similar transaction.

          (f) If Employee resigns or otherwise terminates his employment without
     cause, Employee shall receive no severance compensation.

                                       7
<PAGE>

  6.  Return of Subsidiary Property.  All records, designs, patents, business
plans, financial statements, financial records, manuals, memoranda, lists and
other property delivered to or compiled by Employee by or on behalf of the
Subsidiary, Cotelligent or their representatives, vendors or customers which
pertain to the business of the Subsidiary or Cotelligent shall be and remain the
property of the Subsidiary or Cotelligent, as the case may be, and be subject at
all times to their discretion and control.  Likewise, all correspondence,
reports, records, charts, advertising materials and other similar data
pertaining to the business, activities or future plans of the Subsidiary or
Cotelligent which is collected by Employee shall be delivered promptly to the
Subsidiary without request by it upon termination of Employee's employment.

  7.  Inventions.  Employee shall disclose promptly to Cotelligent and the
Subsidiary any and all significant conceptions and ideas for inventions,
improvements and valuable discoveries, whether patentable or not, which are
conceived or made by Employee, solely or jointly with another, during the period
of employment or within one (1) year thereafter, and which are directly related
to the business or activities of the Subsidiary or Cotelligent and which
Employee conceives as a result of his employment by the Subsidiary.  Employee
hereby assigns and agrees to assign all his interests therein to the Subsidiary
or its nominee.  Whenever requested to do so by the Subsidiary, Employee shall
execute any and all applications, assignments or other instruments that the
Subsidiary shall deem necessary to apply for and obtain Letters Patent of the
United States or any foreign country or to otherwise protect the Subsidiary's
interest therein.

  8.  Trade Secrets.  Employee agrees that he will not, during or after the term
of this Agreement with the Subsidiary, disclose the specific terms of the
Subsidiary's or Cotelligent's relationships or agreements with their respective
significant vendors or customers or any other significant and material trade
secret of the Subsidiary or Cotelligent, whether in existence or proposed, to
any person, firm, partnership, corporation or business for any reason or purpose
whatsoever other than as required by law or to attorneys or accountants or other
agents of the Subsidiary.

  9.  Indemnification.  In the event Employee is made a party to any threatened,
pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by the Subsidiary or
Cotelligent against Employee), by reason of the fact that he is or was
performing services under this Agreement, then the Subsidiary shall indemnify
and hold harmless the Employee against all expenses (including attorneys' fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, as actually and reasonably
incurred by Employee in connection therewith, provided that Employee has met the
applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 145(a) of the Delaware
General Corporation Law ("Delaware Code") with respect to such an action, as
determined in accordance with the requirements of Section 145(d) of the Delaware
Code.  In the event that both Employee and the Subsidiary are made a party to
the same third-party action, complaint, suit or proceeding, the Subsidiary or
Cotelligent agrees to engage competent legal representation, and Employee agrees
to use the same representation, provided that if counsel selected by Cotelligent
shall have a conflict of interest that prevents such counsel from representing
Employee, Employee

                                       8
<PAGE>

may engage separate counsel and the Subsidiary or Cotelligent shall pay all
attorneys' fees and costs of such separate counsel. Further, while Employee is
expected at all times to use his best efforts to faithfully discharge his duties
under this Agreement, Employee cannot be held liable to the Subsidiary or
Cotelligent for errors or omissions made in good faith where Employee has not
exhibited gross, willful and wanton negligence and misconduct or performed
criminal and fraudulent acts which materially damage the business of the
Subsidiary.

  10.  No Prior Agreements.  Employee hereby represents and warrants to the
Subsidiary that the execution of this Agreement by Employee and his employment
by the Subsidiary and the performance of his duties hereunder will not violate
or be a breach of any agreement or other duty or obligation with or to any
former employer, client or any other person or entity, including, without
limitation, any non-competition agreement, invention or secrecy agreement
between Employee and any such person or entity which was in existence as of the
date of this Agreement.  Further, Employee agrees to indemnify the Subsidiary
for any claim, action, loss, damage, liability or expense (including, but not
limited to, attorneys' fees and expenses of investigation) based upon or arising
out of any breach of the representation and warranty set forth in the preceding
sentence or any assertion by any other person or entity of actions or omissions
by Employee which, if true, constitute such a violation or breach.   The
provisions of this Section shall survive the term of Employee's employment
hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

  11.  Assignment; Binding Effect.  Employee understands that he has been
selected for employment by the Subsidiary on the basis of his personal
qualifications, experience and skills.  Employee agrees, therefore, he cannot
assign all or any portion of his performance under this Agreement.  Subject to
the preceding two (2) sentences and the express provisions of Section 12 below,
this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable
by the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives,
successors and assigns.

  12.  Complete Agreement.  This Agreement is not a promise of future
employment.  Employee has no oral representations, understandings or agreements
with the Subsidiary or any of its officers, directors or representatives
covering the same subject matter as this Agreement.  This written Agreement is
the final, complete and exclusive statement and expression of the agreement
between the Subsidiary and Employee and of all the terms of this Agreement, and
it cannot be varied, contradicted or supplemented by evidence of any prior or
contemporaneous oral or written agreements.  This written Agreement may not be
later modified except by a further writing signed by a duly authorized officer
of the Subsidiary and Employee, and no term of this Agreement may be waived
except by writing signed by the party waiving the benefit of such term.

  13.  Notice.  Whenever any notice is required hereunder, it shall be given in
writing addressed as follows:

                        LONG-RANGE BONUS INCENTIVE PLAN

The plan is established for the benefit of  James R. Lavelle and Daniel E.
Jackson and is based directly upon earnings performance over a six-year period.
The provisions of the LBIP are stated herein as follows:

(a)  Each of Messrs. Lavelle, Evans and Jackson will have the opportunity to
     earn up to four times their current base salary (i.e. $1,800,000,
     $1,600,000 and $1,600,000 respectively, the "Maximum Bonuses").

(b)  Up to half of the Maximum Bonus ("Payment 1") will be payable to each
     individual as soon as practicable after the close of the Company's books
     for the period ending December 31, 2002 based on the attainment of fully
     diluted earnings-per-share targets (calculated after accrual(s) for the
     LBIP) as shown in Table B below

(c)  Up to the full Maximum Bonus less any payments made under (b) above
     ("Payment 2") will be payable to each individual as soon as practicable
     after the close of the Company's books for the period ending December 31.
     2005 based on the attainment of fully diluted earnings-per-share targets
     (calculated after accrual(s) for the LBIP) as shown in Table B below.

(d)  Any individual who resigns voluntarily or is terminated for any reason
     prior to December 31, 2002 would forfeit any rights to payments under this
     program. Any individual who resigns voluntarily or is terminated for any
     reason after December 31, 2002 and prior to December 31, 2005 would forfeit
     any rights to Payment 2 under this program.

(e)  Upon a change of control, the Committee at its discretion may make some
     payment to each individual. (Among other things, the Committee will
     consider other payments mandated with employment contracts to avoid
     triggering the 20% excise tax which currently is invoked by exceeding a
     payment of three times total compensation.)
