Well, let’s start by asking, what is a Tech Recruiter?
A technology tech recruiter is a professional who partners with an organization to learn about their needs and then uses the information to develop applications, provide technical expertise, and coordinate contractors’ activities. While the tech recruiter listens to the client’s needs, goals, and vision, our team strives to enhance your existing plan and bring new strategies to accelerate your transformation and speed to market. The tech recruiter uses the information discovered and shares with them to write the job description, source and vet contractors, and hire on a contract, contract to hire, direct hire, or managed services basis. Utilizing a tech recruiter furthers your business goals because it is a person who is an extension of your company and someone who is invested in helping you accomplish your tech project.
What does a Tech Recruiter Do?
- Understands the needs of a company and/or lays out a project requirement based on consultations with the company.
- Selects the best programmers or SaaS for the job.
- Ascertains that the final product is scalable, if not then the Tech Recruiter provides guidance on building scalable technologies

What to Consider in a Tech Recruiter?
Here are the top questions to ask during a consultation to ensure you’re partnering with the right Tech Recruiter for your goals:
- Give them a couple of tough scenarios that could happen to your company. How would they help you navigate them?
- Be transparent and tell them about a real concern you have about your business. Ask them what they would do if it became a reality.
- What access do they have to (the right) connections? It’s less about what you know than who you know in the industry.
- Ask them about their previous advising experience. What worked best for them? What didn’t work? How do they think they have evolved as a Tech Recruiter as a result?
- How founder-centric do they think they are? Will they be on your side through thick and thin? “The best way to get this answer is to ask about some of their past advising successes,” Barnes says. “How much do they talk about the founder versus themselves? Do they say they made things happen or that they helped the founder make things happen? If they tell the story through the founder’s eyes, that’s a good sign.”
- As you ask them about their past experiences, are they always going back to previous examples of their accomplishments, or are they talking about how they’d leverage their experience to move your company forward? “It’s important to know if they’re going to be able to synthesize what they already know with new situations, or if they are constantly going to be saying, ‘Well, this is how we did it before.’” The former is much more valuable.
- Ask them if they’ve faced a situation like yours before. If they answer by giving an example from a past company only, that’s telling. You want the person who gives you that example but then says, ‘But your situation seems different because of X, Y, and Z, so you might want to think about it this way…’
- What might this partnership cost and how will you be charged?
- Ensuring the feedback fits your business needs, goals, and vision is key to having the right partner as a Tech Recruiter. Use these questions to decipher between the company who is in it for the money between who is passionate about helping you accelerate your project to market.
