Technical Recruiter for Engineering and IT Teams
An experienced talent acquisition specialist in engineering and IT hiring who works with your company on a flexible, part-time, hourly, or project/retainer basis.
- Transparent Pricing Structure.
- No Hidden Cost.
- No percentage-based placement fees.
Technical hiring is harder than it looks
- Too many open engineering roles and not enough recruiters.
- Specialist roles need deep sourcing that job posts alone will not deliver.
- Your team loses hours reviewing resumes that do not match the stack.
- Hiring in a new market means no local salary or talent knowledge.
- Agency fees on every engineering hire add up quickly.
A technical recruiter on your team, without the full-time cost
Our fractional technical recruiter is an experienced talent acquisition specialist in engineering and IT hiring who works with your company on a flexible, part-time, hourly, or project/retainer basis rather than as a full-time employee.
Your technical recruiter joins your hiring process for the hours you need. They work with your engineering managers to define each role, source candidates in the market, and screen them for technical fit before anyone reaches your team. You keep full control of interviews and offers, and you can add or reduce hours as hiring picks up or slows.

Is a Technical Recruiter right for your team?
When engineering and IT hiring needs more attention than your team can give it, a dedicated Technical Recruiter keeps the search moving. Get specialist sourcing and coordinated candidate pipelines while your hiring managers stay focused on evaluating talent and building your product.
Several technical roles to fill
Give priority searches consistent attention across software, cloud, data, cybersecurity and other engineering or IT functions.
Hard-to-reach specialist talent
Build targeted outreach around your stack, seniority and role requirements instead of relying only on inbound applications.
An overstretched hiring team
Let your recruiter own sourcing, screening and assessment coordination, with clear candidate summaries for your managers.
Hiring demand that changes
Agree the hours and scope you need now, then adjust support as your priorities and workload change.
For a single straightforward role with a healthy applicant pipeline, lighter sourcing support may be enough. We review your roles, existing pipeline and internal capacity before recommending the scope that fits.
Start with a pilot
Begin with one or two technical roles. You see the shortlist quality and how we work before committing further.
