Core Practice

Technology Recruitment, Engineered.

Senior IT contractors and full-time hires placed faster, vetted deeper, and matched with measurably higher acceptance rates - powered by ProxyOS, our proprietary AI sourcing and matching engine, and led by recruiters who have run technology desks for decades.

The Challenge

The problem we solve

The cost of the wrong shortlist

A misaligned candidate doesn't just miss the role - it burns the hiring manager's calendar, exhausts the interview panel, and pushes start dates by weeks. For mission-critical contract roles, that translates to project slippage measured in six figures.

Speed without sacrificing fit

Traditional staffing models force a trade-off: fast or accurate. Resumes flood in, recruiters skim, and the interview loop becomes a filter rather than an evaluation. We rebuilt the front of the funnel so speed and precision compound instead of compete.

Senior talent, not keyword matches

Senior engineers, architects, and security specialists rarely look like their LinkedIn profile. The signal is in code commits, patents, project history, employer trajectory, and timing. Our engine reads those signals; our recruiters interpret them.

Our Approach

What makes us different

1

ProxyOS - Our Proprietary AI Core

A deterministic compiler that translates your hiring brief into a reproducible, auditable sourcing plan. It pulls signal from GitHub contributions, patent filings, regulatory documents, employer trajectories, and verified employment history - then scores candidates on technical fit, seniority match, and intent to move.

Decades of Tech Recruiting Leadership

ProxyOS doesn't recruit candidates - our people do. Our recruitment leads have spent decades placing senior technical talent into Fortune 500 systems integrators, hyperscalers, and high-growth software firms. They know which candidates actually ship, which interview signals matter, and how to close offers in competitive markets.

Built for Contract, Built for Permanent

We deliver across both engagement models. Our staff augmentation desk runs hundreds of active contractors at any given time. Our permanent search practice places senior architects, engineering directors, and security leaders into roles where the cost of a wrong hire is six- to seven-figure.

How We Work

Engagement models

Staff Augmentation

Contract and contract-to-hire engineers, architects, and specialists deployed on your bill rate. We handle sourcing, vetting, payrolling (W2 or C2C), and ongoing performance management. Typical time-to-shortlist: 3-7 business days for senior roles.

Direct Hire / Retained Search

Permanent placements for senior individual contributors and leadership roles. ProxyOS produces a calibrated longlist; our recruiters lead the close. Replacement guarantee on every placement.

Outsourced Contract Delivery

For project workstreams where you want a contracted outcome rather than headcount, we assemble and manage a delivery team end-to-end - billed against milestones, not hours. Useful for time-boxed builds: network refresh, cloud migration, security tooling rollout.
