What we recruit for
We staff six technology practice areas: software engineering, data and analytics, cloud and infrastructure, cybersecurity, digital and UX, and IT project management. Each area is worked by recruiters who focus on that discipline, so the person calling you about a data engineering role recruits data engineers for a living.
Most of our roles are contract or contract-to-hire. A recruiter will tell you which before you apply, along with the rate band and the client's timeline.
A note from our recruiting team
Email gets buried, and interviews move fast — most of our clients want feedback the same day. Texting is the most reliable way we have found to reach a candidate when a matching role opens or an interview time shifts. We only message you about your own candidacy, and you can stop it at any time by replying STOP.
— Chris Layden, President and Chief Executive Officer

How placement works
Register your profile
Tell us your practice area, stack, and where you want to work. A recruiter reviews your profile against open and pipeline roles — not a keyword filter.
Hear about matches first
When a new role fits your saved preferences, we let you know before it is widely marketed. If you opt in to SMS, that alert arrives by text; a recruiter follows up personally either way.
Interview with our support
We coordinate every round: scheduling, preparation notes, and a reminder before each session with the time, format, and who you will meet. Reply to confirm or reschedule directly.
Offer and onboarding
We advise on the offer, manage references and background checks, and stay with you through your first day. Your record stays active for future roles unless you ask us to close it.
Job alerts by text message
These are real examples of the messages candidates receive. Every text is tied to your own candidacy — no promotions, no third-party marketing.
