Why teams switch to us

The recruiter that actually reads the spec.

Most agencies optimise for résumé volume. We optimise for the technical and cultural bar you set on the intake call. The difference shows up in interview-to-offer ratios.

Engineering-led screening

We screen on the actual stack, the actual seniority and the system-design conversation, not keyword bingo. GitHub and portfolio reviewed where relevant. Mismatches get flagged before they reach you.

Sponsorship clarity at intake

Every candidate's work authorization (USC, GC, GC-EAD, H1B current, H1B transfer, H4-EAD, TN, OPT-STEM, L1, L2-EAD) is captured before introduction. If your policy is no sponsorship, we filter accordingly. No offer-stage surprises.

5-day median shortlist

Most reqs receive their first vetted, ranked shortlist inside a working week. Niche or senior reqs (staff-plus, heads of platform) take 10-14 days, flagged upfront.

City-tier comp benchmarks

Every shortlist is benchmarked against current US base, bonus and equity data, by city tier (SF / NYC / Seattle vs Austin / Boston / Denver / DC vs Tier 3 and remote-anywhere). If your band is light for the stack, we flag it before sourcing.

Flexible engagement model

W2 permanent, W2 contract, contract-to-hire, or corp-to-corp where your vendor framework allows it. We adapt to your hiring model, not the other way around.

One recruiter, end to end

The same recruiter handles intake, sourcing, screening, offer support, onboarding and 90-day follow-up. They learn your hiring loop and your standards. No queue, no team inbox, no handoffs.

How a search runs

From kickoff to signed offer, properly run.

A clear three-step process built for tech hiring loops, not generic recruitment.

01

Kickoff and intake

A 30-45 minute call. We capture the stack, the seniority bar, the must-haves, the deal-breakers, the comp band in USD, the location and remote policy, the sponsorship policy and the timeline. You receive a written intake to confirm.

02

Source, screen, rank

We approach our network and active candidates, screen technically and culturally, verify location and work-authorization, and rank. Three to six candidates per shortlist, with our written notes on each.

03

Loop support and offer

We coordinate your interview loop, manage candidate feedback, handle counter-offer pressure, and structure the offer. Backchannel references for senior roles where useful.

Where we recruit

Every US tech hub, plus remote-anywhere.

Tell us the city tier or remote policy and we calibrate the search accordingly. We cover all of the major American tech hubs and remote-first searches across all 50 states.

Common questions

Questions tech leaders ask before opening a req.

Are you a generalist agency that happens to do tech, or a tech specialist?
Tech specialist. Our entire desk is software engineering, cloud / DevOps, data, AI, security, product and design. If you ask us for a generalist sales hire or a clinical role, we will refer you out. The benefit: every recruiter on our side has run hundreds of stack-specific reqs and knows the difference between a senior Python engineer and a staff one.
How quickly can you deliver a shortlist?
Median is 5 working days from kickoff to a tight, ranked shortlist of three to six candidates. Niche or senior reqs (staff-plus engineering, heads of platform, security leadership) usually take 10 to 14 days. Backfill and urgent reqs flagged on day one move to the top of the desk.
What stacks and seniorities are in scope?
Junior through staff-plus and engineering leadership. Common stacks include Python (Django, FastAPI, Flask), Node / TypeScript (Next.js, NestJS), Go, Java / Spring, .NET Core, Ruby on Rails, Swift, Kotlin, Rust, plus React, React Native, iOS and Android. On the platform side: AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, Snowflake, dbt, Databricks, Kafka, plus security tooling and data platforms.
How do you handle visa sponsorship?
Every candidate's work-authorization status is captured before they reach you: USC, GC, GC-EAD, H1B current, H1B transfer, H4-EAD, TN, OPT, OPT-STEM, L1, L2-EAD. If your policy is no sponsorship, we filter for USC / GC / GC-EAD / TN only. If you sponsor, we surface candidates who fit the role and the policy. No offer-stage surprises.
Do you place W2 perm, contract, or both?
Both. We staff direct-hire W2 perm, W2 contract via our payroll, and contract-to-hire. For staff augmentation with established vendors we can also work corp-to-corp. Tell us your model on the intake call.
What does comp benchmarking look like in practice?
For every shortlist we calibrate against current US-market base, bonus, equity and total-comp data, segmented by city tier (Tier 1: SF / NYC / Seattle, Tier 2: Austin / Boston / LA / Denver / DC, Tier 3 and remote-anywhere) and seniority. If your band is below market for the stack and city, we flag it before sourcing.
What if a placement doesn't stick?
Every permanent placement carries a free replacement period. If the hire leaves or is dismissed within the agreed window, we re-run the search at no charge. Window is usually 90 days, longer for senior or staff-plus placements.
What information do you need to start a search?
A JD (or rough notes), the stack and seniority, comp band in USD, location / remote policy, sponsorship policy, target start date, and one decision-maker we can speak to. We build the rest of the intake on a 30-45 minute call.
