Why This Role Is Hard To Fill

The best senior software engineer candidates are not on job boards

Senior engineers with the right stack are a small pool that moves fast. That is why a posting-and-waiting search rarely fills a senior software engineer seat with the right person. Our recruiters source passive senior software engineer candidates directly, screen them against your specific criteria, and deliver a shortlist of 3 to 5 people, not a stack of resumes.

The Math on Waiting

Every week this seat is open has a cost.

A senior engineer billing at $150,000-$200,000 per year represents $4,000-$7,500 per week in sprint capacity. A vacant seat for 12 weeks means roughly $48,000-$90,000 in unshipped product or absorbed overload - before you factor in the compounding effect on the rest of the team.

The Talent Window

The right candidate is available for a few weeks.

Software engineers and data scientists with in-demand skills receive multiple recruiter outreaches daily. When a strong candidate decides to make a move, they typically have an offer within two weeks. Passive candidates are the best candidates - and they are not responding to job board postings.
