'Co-opetition'
We invented "co-opetition" or "cooperative competition" with our business partners. Co-opetition simply means that every client support position is competed among all our team mates. Everyone is aware of new requirements and gets a fair shot at them. Co-opetition ensures fair and equal treatment of our team members when "new" contracting opportunities arise.
It just makes good business sense. Co-opetition guarantees the best candidate for the client, by selecting from the entire talent pool, not just Schafer's.
Processes
Because we have extensive experience leading teams of all sizes, our subcontracting processes are the best. We have sub-contract specialists that you won't find at other companies. Our invoicing is streamlined for rapid billing turnaround. Our program managers are experienced at leading and managing large teams. And they are incented financially to do so successfully.
Our Employees
Team Schafer also pertains to our employees. We only recruit and retain employees that know how to work as part of a team. We take this very seriously. We believe that teams succeed, not individuals. We also look for business partners that also embrace our team philosophy.
