Analytix was founded in
1975 by Roger Gruen and
Lou Sauer and was
originally known as
Sauer Computer Systems.
Members of the company
developed software and
hardware solutions for
many institutions and
corporations across the
United States.
Original products such
as the development of
KEY/500 (one of the
earliest relational
databases) and SCRIBE (a
database management
system for national
timesharing companies)
are just two examples of
Roger's innovations that
greatly impacted the
Information Technology
industry - especially in
the Midwest.
In 1990, Lou Sauer
retired and Roger Gruen
was given sole ownership
of the company, which he
renamed Analytix.
It was about this time
that Michael Gruen
joined the organization
and began assisting
primarily with Business
Development efforts.
During the early years
of his employment,
Michael excelled at the
sale of products and
services and became the
leading salesperson.
This coupled with his
ability to resolve
issues, perform
research, coordinate
vendors, build teams,
and financial knowledge
led to his appointment
as the Director of
Marketing in 1994.
The services provided
by Analytix in the early
90's included the
development and
implementation of custom
software applications,
as well as the
modification of existing
applications for
industries and
organizations that could
not find suitable
solutions in the
marketplace. Some
of these applications
were Scientific and
Healthcare Information
Systems.
As the market evolved
in the mid 90's, and as
the prices for hardware
and software
dramatically decreased,
Analytix was faced with
the need to review other
business opportunities.
This coincided with the
fact that many of our
Clients were asking if
we knew of an
Information Technology
Professional or
Executive that would be
interested in working
for them on a full time
basis - supporting and
carrying forward the
solutions that we had
developed and
implemented for them.
It was these requests
that resulted in
Analytix forming the IT
Recruiting Group.
Soon after we entered
the Recruiting business,
we learned that most of
our competitors were
small shops that simply
pushed as much paper out
the door as possible
with little
consideration given to
the Candidates career
desires or wishes.
Our Clients soon
provided feedback that
enabled us to understand
that if we were going to
do Recruiting, we should
really learn to balance
the Value provided to
our Clients with the
requirements and desires
of our Candidates.
To facilitate this we
created a series of
processes and
procedures, which
includes Quality
Assurance steps, to
ensure that we fully
validate what our
Candidates are seeking
in the way of a new
opportunity, and to
ensure that we send only
the truly qualified
Candidates to our
Clients for review.
This is by no means
easy, and it requires a
detailed understanding
of the industry in which
you are working, as well
as a great rapport with
both Client and
Candidate so that we can
get to the real issues
of what both parties are
hoping to achieve.
After years of proven
success in the
Information Technology
industry, and in
conversations with
contacts who are the
decision makers from
Life Science companies,
we began to receive
inquiries about our
ability to recruit and
identify Candidates with
Biotech experience and
skills. Over the
past years, we have had
success locating such
Candidates and placing
them into our Clients on
full time, contract, or
contract to hire
opportunities.
As a result of this
success, and the growing
requests from our
Clients, we have formed
this Biotech Recruiting
Division. Many of
the same processes and
procedures that have
served us well on the IT
Recruiting side, is now
in play for the Biotech
industry. As we
continue to learn and
evolve, our processes
will remain reflective
and value based to
ensure that we are truly
providing our Clients
and our Candidates with
superb service that
achieves their
objectives.
