Technical staffing and IT services with in-house security and analytics capabilities
Column Technical Services is a staffing firm that has built internal capabilities around security operations, business intelligence, and data engineering—a structural shift from pure recruiting. The tech stack reveals dual operating models: recruiting/HR infrastructure (Workday, Kronos, ServiceNow, QuickBooks, NetSuite) layered with data and security tools (Databricks, dbt, Power BI, Python, AWS, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes). Active hiring spans finance, engineering, and data roles with a seniority skew toward senior and director positions, suggesting Column is scaling internal delivery rather than just placement capacity.

The organization bridges staffing delivery with in-house analytics and security engineering, supported by a 201–500 person headcount.
Column uses Workday and Kronos for HR operations, ServiceNow for IT service management, Databricks and dbt for data transformation, Power BI for analytics, AWS and Azure for cloud infrastructure, Python and SQL Server for custom development, and Docker/Kubernetes for deployment automation.
