Today sourcing professionals are faced with new challenges and new priorities in finding and maintaining a healthy chain of suppliers.

We're Purpose Driven
Sparq was founded with the goal of helping clients advance their businesses using teams of talented, qualified IT professionals living in Middle America cities. These cities and those with technology aspirations who prefer to live there have been left behind in today’s digital economy. These individuals either don’t want to move from their home town to establish a career in IT, or they wish to re-locate or return to these locations for a better quality of life, lower cost of living or proximity to family.
