Descriptiontext

Signature Consultants, founded in 1997 and headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was a US-based staffing firm that has since rebranded to Dexian. Under the Dexian brand, the company operates as a global staffing, IT consulting, and workforce solutions provider serving enterprise and mid-market clients across the United States, Canada, India, Mexico, Brazil, Europe, and Asia, with 70+ global offices and approximately 10,000 employees.

The company delivers services across three core pillars: Talent Solutions (technology staffing, professional staffing, creative staffing, ERP recruitment, and international offshore/nearshore staffing), Technology Solutions (IT consulting spanning application development, cloud transformation, cybersecurity, data analytics, digital workplace, infrastructure, AI/ML, and platform implementations for Salesforce, ServiceNow, and ADP Workforce Software), and Government Solutions (mission-critical technology staffing for federal, state, and local agencies). Supporting research and thought-leadership platforms include HumanKindex (a research-based framework on kindness-driven leadership) and Black Sky Thinking (innovation methodology and IP).

Revenue is generated primarily through professional services billing on contract staffing, contract-to-hire, permanent placement, and managed service provider (MSP) engagements, with prices quoted per engagement rather than published. Go-to-market combines dedicated Client Partner teams (averaging 11-year client partnerships) with self-serve candidate portals, content marketing, webinars, and a global channel partner network. Vertical focus spans accounting/finance, retail, energy, life sciences, professional services, government, healthcare, HR, and technology, with cybersecurity as a cross-vertical use case.
