Our team's 20 years placing software engineers means we can help you to find and hire the sort of people your dev team members want to sit next to. SortIQ was founded by an elite practicioner of technical recruiting and sourcing who is equally obsessed modern software engineering.
SortIQ's philosophy personality is more about like that of a software engineer than a recruiter. Hiring Teams can expect a fast, fluid, conversation funnel focused on elevating the sort of people they want to hire until you hire them (faster than someone else can, but on the right terms so they want to stick around). For candidates it is a conversation as much about the technology as the role, team and mission. For an AI dev role we will most likely take a deep dive into how your agent harness works across models. For a frontend or full stack engineer role we will end up talking about web servers, browser based testing, and why you might prefer Vite vs. Next for a particular project. For both, we will probably end up looking at some code together.
Recruiting is mostly a get out of your own way problem so we pull all the stops and rahter than push whover is hot on the trail of their next job, we trust and rely on our network on passive candidate sourcing skills. We can build a list of potential candidates and begin recruiting in minutes. Nothing in life is guaranteed, but our individual team members have found hires within days and weeks. Our biggest issue is that the people we recruit usually stick around for a really long time so there isn't as much demand for our services later on. That hasn't stopped CEO's who know our work from calling us back and telling their friends about us for the last 18 years.
We examine your recruiting stack and make market tested recommendations. We can help you execute enhancements.
Our specialty is finding and recruiting software product company developers and leaders and providing on-demand recruiting support.
Our team has trained founders and leaders of software product companies from pre-Series A through Acquisition and beyond, M&A deals, the lead up to IPO, and even through the first Prime Federal Contract.
We actively participate as members of the developer, AI, designer, and startup communities and it helps us refine conversations, screening, and candidate perceptions.
