What makes technology & it hiring hard

Good engineers ignore recruiters

Experienced technologists get a steady stream of generic messages. Outreach that names the actual stack, the problem and the team gets read. We write every sequence for the role.

Skills hide behind titles

A "systems engineer" can mean very different things. We rank candidates against the technologies and experience your brief calls for, not the title alone.

Several open roles at once

Tech teams often hire in batches. Per-role pricing gets lower from the fourth role, and a slot moves to your next opening when one fills.

How we find technology & it candidates

Technologists show their work in more places than most professions: LinkedIn, code repositories, technical communities and certifications. We search across those to find people by stack and experience, then contact them by email and LinkedIn with a message written for your role.

Pricing

Per open role, per month. No placement fee, however many people you hire.

Technology & IT recruiting questions

How much does an IT recruiter cost?
Agency IT recruiters often charge a percentage of first-year salary per hire. We charge a flat monthly fee per open role: $1,000 a role per month at list rate, lower from the fourth role, plus a $1,000 one-time setup, with no placement fee. Every engagement starts with three role slots.
Do you place IT contractors?
No. We recruit full-time employees who join your team directly. If you need short-term contract staff, an IT staffing agency is the better fit.
Can you recruit cybersecurity talent?
Yes. We search for security analysts and engineers by certification, tools and environment, and rank them against the specific requirements in your brief.
Can you recruit for remote roles?
Yes. A remote role widens the market, and we search wherever you are able to hire, whether that is one metro area or the whole country.
