SortIQ was founded on a simple premise: the best recruiting happens when recruiters truly understand the roles they're filling and the team they are working with. Every team is different which makes getting to know the people on the team and the people we place our top priority.
Our team has advised and placed people at all levels for all kinds of software centric companies. Startups in Angel, Seed, Series A-D, M&A, and pre-IPO stages. Government contractors with 0 through their 100th hire after winning their first prime contract. Growth and late stage software companies, and major companies that you have heard of.
Led by a seasoned technical software sector executive who has built and guided developers and worked with AI, SortIQ offers a unique results oriented talent acquisition proposition.

Track Record
We've successfully placed hundreds of engineers, developers, and technical leaders across a wide range of companies—from early-stage startups to Fortune 500 enterprises.
Our placements have gone on to lead successful exits, build industry-changing products, and create the technical foundations for rapidly growing companies.
