What Brooksource does

Brooksource is a US-based IT and Engineering talent solutions provider founded in 2000 and operating as a division of Eight Eleven Group. The firm delivers services across three pillars: Experience-Driven Staffing (contract, contract-to-hire, and direct placement of IT and Engineering professionals), Professional Services (cloud migration, data analytics, application development, and managed Team-as-a-Service engagements), and Elevate, a proprietary 12-month workforce transformation program that combines 40 hours of customized technical training per consultant with mentorship, cultural embedment, and optional conversion to full-time employment. Core technology exposure spans the major hyperscalers and data platforms — AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Salesforce, Tableau, and Snowflake — with certified partner status across all six and a specific AWS Public Sector Partner designation secured in March 2023.

Revenue is generated through hourly billing on contract staffing engagements (visible rate band of $20-$88 per hour), one-time direct placement fees, and managed-services or subscription-style engagements for Elevate programs and Team-as-a-Service delivery. Go-to-market is enterprise sales-led, with 30 US offices supporting direct coverage of Fortune 500 customers and State, Local, Education, and Federal (SLED) public-sector agencies. Channel distribution combines direct enterprise account teams with technology alliance co-sell motion through AWS, Salesforce, Microsoft, Google Cloud, Tableau, and Snowflake partner ecosystems, plus a self-service candidate portal at jobs.brooksource.com.

Customer concentration skews to large enterprises across healthcare, insurance, banking, energy, utilities, automotive, mobility, and public-sector verticals, with named case studies including multiple Fortune 100/500 logos. The firm has no disclosed revenue figures, no external funding rounds, and operates as a privately held entity within the Eight Eleven Group holding structure (which also includes Medasource and CalculatedHire). Recent strategic activity has centered on AWS Public Sector buildout, geographic expansion (Cleveland, Milwaukee, Nashville), and new compliance and SAP practices.
