Looking for an edge in the competition for top talent?

Engineers Recruiting Engineers - Bridging the Gap  

As former engineering managers, we’ve been on both sides of the hiring table. We noticed a common problem: recruiters often misunderstood what we needed, leading to wasted time and frustration.

 

Our solution: Engineers recruiting engineers.

By putting experienced engineers in charge of the hiring process, we eliminate inefficiencies:

 

- No awkward screening calls or irrelevant “tell me about a time…” questions.

 

- Clear, effective job descriptions written in plain engineering terms—not HR jargon.

 

- A network of top talent to match candidates with roles that align with their skills and goals.

 

We’ve earned the trust of industry leaders like

Splunk, Square, Broadcom, and rapidly scaling startups, helping them meet demand and build exceptional teams.

About Us

Why We’re Different

 

As engineers, we tackled the problem head-on and found a straightforward answer:

 

Eliminate the middle layer.

 

Simply connect engineers with engineers for a faster, more effective hiring process.   

Data Driven Recruiting

​

As engineers in recruiting, we leverage analytics to continuously improve. Instead of relying on traditional methods, we examine every step of the hiring process to identify what truly drives results.

 

By eliminating inefficiencies and refining our approach, we’ve significantly reduced time-to-hire and interviews per hire, delivering faster and better outcomes for our clients.

AI as a Tool, Not the Solution

​

We embrace AI to enhance our services, using it to streamline processes and improve outcomes.

 

However, AI is just a tool—it cannot replicate the expertise of a top-tier recruiter or replace the human connection that motivates and engages exceptional candidates.

 

And yes we used AI on the website as you can clearly tell, apologies.
