We don't just scan resumes – we systematically identify engineers who can actually solve problems and fit your team culture.
We dive deep into your tech stack, team culture, and actual role requirements to understand what you really need - not just what's in the job description. This discovery reveals the real challenges and helps define success.
I leverage my engineering networks plus custom application challenges to identify quality candidates and weed out quick-applies. This phase focuses on finding engineers who are genuinely interested and qualified.
One-on-one meetings to ensure candidates aren't using AI and actually understand their claimed expertise. I conduct real technical conversations about architecture, problem-solving, and actual project experience.
I compile detailed technical assessments to present only the highest-quality candidates to you. Each candidate comes with a complete evaluation and recommendation, not just a resume.
We're not another recruiting agency. Our approach is designed specifically for companies that need engineers who can actually solve problems, not just talk about them.
I actually code daily, so I understand what good engineers look like. When I assess candidates, I'm evaluating the same skills I use every day in production systems.
I catch candidates using ChatGPT because I know how real engineers think and communicate. My technical conversations reveal authentic understanding, not memorized responses.
The best engineers aren't on job boards - they're in my network of fellow developers. I find passive candidates who aren't actively looking but would move for the right opportunity.
I present 2-3 perfect candidates, not 20 mediocre ones. Every candidate I send has been thoroughly vetted and is genuinely qualified for your specific needs.
I speak their language because I am one of them. Candidates trust my technical guidance because they know I understand their daily challenges and career goals.
Focused on career fit, not just filling positions. I want every placement to be successful long-term, which means finding the right culture and growth opportunities.
I focus on engineering roles where my technical background provides maximum value. Here are the specializations where I can best assess candidate quality:
This is my actual GitHub contributions graph. Every green square represents time spent solving the same problems your candidates claim to understand. When I assess their technical skills, I know what real engineering work looks like because I'm doing it daily.
This is how I spot the real engineers from the resume optimizers.
