We exist to help companies build the teams and technology infrastructure they need to grow — with honesty, urgency, and real partnership at every step.
Gratus Group was founded by Tim Kirby with a simple frustration: most staffing firms don't actually understand the work they're placing people into. They match keywords to job descriptions and call it a day.
With 25 years in IT consulting, solutions delivery, and staffing, Tim built Gratus Group to do things differently — acting as a true strategic partner who understands the technical roles, the business context, and what it actually takes to make a hire succeed long-term.
Based in Castle Rock, Colorado (Denver metro), we serve clients across all 50 states — with deep roots in technology, healthcare, manufacturing, and supply chain sectors.
We serve clients across multiple challenges: high-volume hiring where TA teams can't review every applicant; traditional contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire staffing across IT, sales, and professional roles; fractional IT leadership for companies needing CTO/CIO/CISO expertise without full-time cost; and IT solutions delivery — nearshore, onshore, and offshore — for infrastructure, development, and managed services needs.
Our flagship AI Talent Partner model uses AI-assisted sourcing, engagement, and screening to review every applicant — then a dedicated human recruiter qualifies the best candidates. Flat-fee pricing replaces unpredictable per-placement costs. Clients save $100–200K+ per year.

These aren't just words on a wall. They're the standards we hold every client conversation, every candidate interaction, and every engagement to.
We tell clients what we can deliver — not what they want to hear. If we can't help, we say so. If there's a better solution, we recommend it.
72 hours to interview-ready candidates is our standard — but speed never comes at the cost of quality. Every submittal is thoroughly vetted.
We embed in your process. We learn your culture. We care about whether the hire succeeds — not just whether we got paid.
AI tools are how we review every applicant — not just the top 10 resumes. We use technology to do things traditional firms can't.
