Delete Looks like a promotional article. Dejakh~talk!•did! 11:40, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
Comment The question here at AfD is whether this company is sufficiently notable for an article, not other factors such as the quality or objectivity of the article, which can be fixed through normal editing. AllyD (talk) 16:44, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep I have added a reference to a book which uses the firm as a case study (found via Google Books search). In addition the article already has a range of references: I don't find the Wall St Journal one very impressive (a passing quote), but the others are more substantially about the firm, albeit all in its home area of Boston. The question is whether these demonstrate coverage of more than a firm simply going about its business, but actually meeting WP:CORPDEPTH; I am just tipping to the positive.

Delete. It isn't a matter of counting sources; it's a matter of what the sources say about this business. Specifically, do the sources say that this business has done anything with the kind of significant effects on history, technology, or culture, of such durable importance that it should be remembered in an encyclopedia? I don't see that now, and don't see that likely; it's a staffing and recruitment firm, the sort of business that probably will never become an encyclopedia subject simply by plying its trade. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:00, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:CORP for lack of significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. Specifically: it gets mentioned in passing, or its CEO gets quoted, in a few major-publication articles; not enough. There are a couple of articles specifically about the company, from the Boston area business journal; but coverage in the local business paper does not suggest that the company has significant impact anywhere else. As noted above, it is unlikely that a purely local IT staffing and recruitment firm is ever going to get the kind of notability needed for inclusion here. It certainly doesn't have it now. --MelanieN (talk) 00:45, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
