Three Habits We Keep

Technical hiring without the resume-keyword theatre.

Software, hardware and infrastructure roles get hired badly when the recruiter can't read the code. Our model fixes that.

v0.1

One Consultant Per Client

One named recruiter from intake to start date. Direct line. No rotating account managers.

v0.2

Technical Vetting

Recruiters who can read a stack diagram, evaluate a take-home submission, and tell a senior IC from a senior LinkedIn profile.

v0.3

90-Day Replacement

Direct-hire placements come with a 90-day replacement guarantee. Long-term fit is shared incentive.

Practice Areas

Ten technical practices.

Each practice is led by a recruiter who works that desk continuously, with the technical literacy to vet candidates properly.

Software Engineering

Backend, frontend, full-stack engineers. Mid-level through staff and principal.

DevOps & Infrastructure

SRE, platform engineers, cloud architects, infrastructure engineering managers.

Data Engineering

Data engineers, analytics engineers, ML platform engineers, data infrastructure leads.

Cybersecurity

Security engineers, AppSec leads, GRC specialists, CISOs, SOC analysts.

Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineers, design engineers, manufacturing engineers, R&D leads.

Electrical Engineering

Electrical engineers, hardware engineers, FPGA specialists, embedded systems leads.

QA & Test

Test engineers, SDETs, QA leads, automation specialists, test infrastructure engineers.

Product & UX

Product managers, senior PMs, UX designers, design engineers, research leads.

Technical PM

Technical program managers, engineering managers, delivery leads.

Senior Tech Leadership

Engineering directors, VPs of engineering, CTOs and chief architects.

Where VRS Fits

One technical hire. Or a whole engineering org.

VRS Recruit serves US employers from Series-A startups to publicly traded enterprises. Single-vacancy and full-team builds run on the same model: one named consultant, calibrated brief, technical-depth shortlist, 90-day replacement guarantee.

We don't pad pipelines with react,node,aws keyword hits. We send candidates whose work history actually maps to your stack, your scale and your engineering culture - the kind of shortlist a hiring manager can interview without preparing a screening filter first.
