What Lancesoft does

LanceSoft, Inc. is a privately held, Herndon, Virginia-headquartered IT staffing and workforce solutions firm founded in 2000 and certified as a Minority Business Enterprise. The company connects enterprise, government, and technology clients with IT professionals through a globally distributed model anchored by 32+ regional offices and nine delivery centers in India, operating across six continents and more than fifty countries. Service offerings include contract and permanent placement of IT talent including H-1B visa holders, packaged under four guiding pillars — Purpose, People, Performance, and Partnerships. Headcount is reported at 1,001–5,000 employees, and the firm maintains both a candidate-facing job portal (lancesoft.com/jobs) and an employer-facing services portal (lancesoft.com/services).

LanceSoft generates revenue primarily through professional services fees on contract staffing and permanent placement arrangements, with bill rates tied to role, experience, and contract terms (an example disclosed rate: $60/hour for technical support). Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales supported by a recently strengthened marketing organization, with brand-building activity across corporate website, professional networks, job boards, and industry events. The firm was recently reported to have acquired SynergisticIT (announced 2026-05-13), and concurrently is the subject of an active U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division investigation, in coordination with the EEOC and Department of Labor, over allegedly discriminatory job postings restricting eligibility to H-1B visa holders. Dennis Harkins serves as President & COO, and Sibu Sahu was hired as AVP – Marketing to accelerate brand and demand generation.
