At hire tech talent, we make it easy for pre-screened tech talent and approved companies to find one another! We’re trying to disrupt the power dynamic of traditional recruiting with a transparent, efficient market process that puts employers and employees right where they want to be.
That depends! Mobile and front and back end developers are in high demand right now, but we’ve also got positions in DevOps and engineering leadership in addition to data science, data engineering, and machine learning engineering. If you’ve got experience working with start-ups, that’d be great but it’s not a prerequisite. Most companies are looking for someone who’s relatively fluent in English, but there are some positions being advertised in other languages, too!
We’ve made signing up straightforward and uncomplicated. Before we open you up to potential employers, we’ll sit down to have a chat about your salary and tech-preferences and give your code a quick once-over. We roll out a different set of profiles every Monday that’ll run for about 5 weeks, during which time you’ll be visible to companies. This makes it so employers are motivated to move fast and send you interview invites. All you’ve got to do is accept, appear for an interview and decide what works for you.
They’re your go-to aide for any and all questions/concerns you’ve got about the Hire Tech process! They’ll walk you through it --- from sign up to closing a deal, your tech-advisor is there to make navigating Hire Tech a little easier.
Hire Tech Talent is a completely free for Talents!
In addition to the basics, you’re expected to add your salary expectations, preferred location, the sort of contract you’re seeking and what, ideally, you’d like to do. There’s room for a personal summary and a portfolio, too! Reach out to your tech-advisor if you’ve got questions.
You’re expected to include your earliest start-by date in your profile.
Based on the detail provided by you, your profile will not be visible to companies you don't wish to be visible for them and you also have blocked through the privacy tab.
You can sign up to Hire Tech Talent the moment you’re ready to enter the job market! The Hire Tech process is optimized to be as quick as possible, so you’ll want to be sure you’ve got everything in order before you sign up. While we traditionally cater to experienced developers, fresh graduates can sign up to Hire Tech, too, so long as they complete our coding challenge!
We’d strongly advise against cutting your personal summary! Contrary to popular belief, companies do read them. A solid personal summary will be between 50 and 200 words and answer three important questions: who are you, what you want from your next role, and what makes you well-suited to it!
Put yourself in an employer’s shoes: include, relevant, high-value skills tailored to the position you want. Include programming languages, frameworks and the important tools you’ve learnt to use! This isn’t the place for “soft-skills”, which should go in your About Me.
Although it defers in each scenario, still there are some factors that work. When it comes to determining salary range, career experience, and job title will be the driving factors. But there are other influences that impact the salary range offered or expected, like, The cost of living: The cost of labor: The size and stage of the company, etc.
There’s no hard limit to how many locations you might choose to apply to! Note that it’s important you don’t choose a location unless you’re 100% about re-locating there. If you want to work remotely, that needs to be made clear on your profile though we don’t currently have companies looking for that sort of talent.
Yes, you’re welcome to join Hire Tech Talent regardless of where you’re currently situated. If you’re up to relocating, then choose the cities that interest you. If you’d rather not, then select ‘other’ as your ideal position. Hire Tech is continuously expanding, and we’ll keep you updated on where we’re going next!
No German, No problem! Most companies are looking to hire English-speaking talent.
That’s entirely dependent on the company! Employers will frequently proffer relocation bonuses, but it’s unlikely they’ll be able to help you find accommodation. We recommend you discuss these points directly with the company once you accept the interview invite.
Once your profile is complete, send it off for review! Your Talent Success Advisor screens your profile to ensure there’s room for your skill-set on the platform and employers looking to hire you. They will email you to let you know when you have been accepted.
A review usually takes 1-2 working days, but can occasionally take longer. Make sure your profile’s details are complete before you submit so as to avoid unnecessary delays.
In order for your profile to be accepted, it’s got to be complete and showcase an appropriate level of demonstrable experience in your given field. If you haven’t got enough experience, you can still sign up so long as you complete a coding challenge!
Your talent-success advisor may make some cosmetic changes to your profile in order to maximize your chances of success! Don’t worry: we can move things around till you’re happy with the outcome.
If the unlikely even your profile isn’t accepted, we’ll shoot you an email to explain why and answer any questions you’ve got.
We roll new talent out in batches! This allows companies to track and organize to whom they have sent interview invites. Once we’ve accepted your profile, we’ll shoot you an email with the next batch. Your profile will automatically be included and from that point, you are visible to companies. If you’re not yet ready for your profile to be shown to employers, let your advisor know A.S.A.P.
Your talent success advisor will email you the minute your profile is completed! You can use that same email when you need to get in touch.
We’ve made it easy for companies to find candidates using our straightforward criteria selection. Companies can filter for specific criteria, such as skillset, location, work authorization, and contract type.
An interview invite is just that! It indicates that a company thinks you might be a good fit for the position you’re advertising and would be interested in speaking to you about it. Invites are not binding, and you can accept many or as few as you’d like.
Think of interview invites as being clearer job postings! They’re there to tell you about a position: like role descriptions and skill specifications, but also the salary and other benefits and a personalized message from the CEO, CTO, or hiring manager, depending on the size of the company. If you’re interested in learning more about a company, just head on over to their profile!
A company profile provides a thorough, transparent overview of the company’s work culture and hiring procedure, in addition to information about the development team, products, tech stack, hiring procedure, as well as a timeline of major developments and in the case of larger companies, a direct message from the CTO, CEO or HR manager! Company profiles are a great resource when comparing positions and offers.
You can accept as many or as few interviews as you’d like, but be sure to plan accordingly!
Remote interviews are common! You can talk to your interviewer for remote interview and sit down to a chat over whatever platform you’d like.
Like you’d prepare for any other interview! Go over the role with a fine-tooth comb and ensure you’ve understood exactly what the company’s looking for. Knowing where you want your career to go and whether this position is conducive to helping you get there is a plus, too.

Please ensure you thoroughly evaluate an interview invite before choosing to decline it. If the role for which you declined to interview hasn’t been filled, your Talent Advisor will help you get in touch with the company.

Inviting, Interviewing & Hiring Tech Talents
An interview invite is a personalized request to tech talents to interview for a specific role. Tech talent can accept or reject your interview invite and you can send out multiple invites for the same role.
Interview invites combine elements of a traditional job posting, such as a concise job description and skill requirements, with some extra elements to encourage greater transparency, such as salary and a personalized message from you to the talent.
Yes you can send multiple invites for multiple positions. But you can only send a maximum of one invite to any given candidate.
It is normal for some invites to be declined. All declined invites include a reason. In some cases you can re-submit the interview invite, altering some aspects, such as salary. In the unlikely case that all your interview invites are declined we recommend you contact your Customer Success Manager.
The interview process is organized between your company and the talent directly and can follow your usual internal procedures.
Within 5 weeks, tech talents either get a job offer with Hire Tech Talent, or through their own channels. In some cases we allow developers to participate in another batch in the future (rebatch)
If you have a great opportunity for a tech talent who didn’t indicate the city your office is in, you can still send them an Invite. Please be aware though that the chance of acceptance is low as this might be a hard requirement for the talent.
After a talent accepts your offer, please get in touch with your Customer Success Manager who will then direct you to our billing department and if necessary start the Visa process.
If you happen to split with one of our talents we offer a refund policy to reduce your risk entirely. This policy refunds 100% if the contract was terminated within 3 months of the starting date (exceptions to this policy are structural changes, such as downsizing)
Please check the terms of your contract.
