Why US tech teams work with us

IT recruitment without the résumé firehose.

We brief properly, vet thoroughly, and screen for the things US tech leaders actually care about: real stack experience, comp expectations in USD, sponsorship status up front, and shipping history that holds up to a reference check.

Truly technical screening

For engineering, data and security roles we screen against your actual stack and seniority, not keyword bingo. We will tell you whether a candidate's GitHub backs up the résumé.

Sponsorship clarity up front

Every candidate is screened for work authorization, current visa status, sponsorship needs (H1B, H1B transfer, TN, OPT, GC, USC) and start-date realism before introduction. No offer-stage surprises.

5-day shortlist

Most US IT reqs receive their first vetted shortlist within a working week. Urgent reqs flagged on day one move to the top of the desk.

W2, contract or C2H

Permanent W2, contract via our payroll, or contract-to-hire. We adapt to your hiring model and budget structure, not the other way around.

Remote-first, US time-zone aware

If your team works in ET, CT, MT or PT, we filter for overlap. For nearshore-friendly briefs we surface LATAM engineers with strong English and overlapping hours.

One named recruiter

One recruiter from intake to start day. They know your stack, your hiring bar, your interview loop, and your comp band. No handoffs, no team inbox.

How we work

From kickoff call to first commit.

A clear three-step process. No drawn-out kickoffs, no dropped balls.

01

Intake and bar-setting

A 30-45 minute call. We capture the stack, the seniority, the must-haves, the deal-breakers, the comp band in USD, the time zone, sponsorship policy, and remote / hybrid / on-site preferences. You get a written intake back to confirm.

02

Targeted shortlist

We approach our network and active candidates, screen technically and culturally, verify work authorization and current location, and rank. You receive a tight, qualified shortlist with our notes on each candidate.

03

Offer and onboarding

We coordinate the offer, manage counter-offer pressure, line up the start date, and check in on day 7, 30 and 90 to make sure the hire is settled. If the placement does not stick, our replacement guarantee kicks in.

Markets we cover

US tech hubs and remote everywhere.

Every major American tech hub plus fully remote and nearshore-friendly LATAM. Tell us where your team sits and we will calibrate accordingly.

Common questions

Questions US tech leaders ask before working with us.

Do you place W2 permanent, contract, or both?
Both. We staff direct-hire W2 perm, W2 contract through our payroll, and contract-to-hire arrangements. For staff augmentation we can also work corp-to-corp where your vendor framework allows it. Tell us your model on the intake call.
How do you handle visa sponsorship?
We surface work-authorization and sponsorship status (USC, GC, GC-EAD, H1B current, H1B transfer, H4-EAD, TN, OPT, OPT-STEM, L1, L2-EAD) before we introduce a candidate. If your policy is no sponsorship, we filter accordingly. If you sponsor, we will surface candidates who fit the role and the policy.
How quickly can you deliver a shortlist?
Most US IT reqs receive their first vetted shortlist within 5 working days. Niche or senior briefs (staff-plus engineering, heads of platform, VPs) may take 10-14 days, but we will tell you upfront. Backfill and urgent reqs flagged on day one move to the top.
What stacks and seniorities do you cover?
Across the board: junior through staff-plus and engineering leadership. Common stacks include Python (Django, FastAPI), 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.
What does your comp benchmarking actually look like?
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 role, we will flag it before sourcing, not after the offer is rejected.
What if the hire 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. The window is usually 90 days, longer for senior or staff-plus placements.
Do you work with startups or only enterprises?
Both. Roughly half our desk is Series A through Series C SaaS and consumer startups; the other half is mid-market and Fortune 500 in-house tech teams. We adjust the briefing, the pitch and the comp framing depending on the stage.
What information do you need to start a search?
A job description (or rough notes), stack and seniority, comp band in USD, location / remote policy, sponsorship policy, target start date, and one decision-maker we can speak to. We can build the rest of the intake on a 30-45 minute call.
