Tech SME Profiles

We’ve assembled, and continue to expand, a handpicked cadre of TSME (Technical Subject Matter Expert) talent for some of the most in-demand tech stacks.

The goal is to technically pre-screen candidates before our clients invest valuable time and energy interviewing. Along with any submitted resume you’ll have a post technical vetting report to review. (see sample report)

If they don’t strongly match your specific technical needs (which are gathered from you at the beginning of the process by the same TSME that will be vetting potential candidates) you likely will not invest time to interview. The whole point of this process is to make sure you only invest time interviewing highly qualified candidates. However, you’ll always have first right-of-refusal on any candidates that we screen as you may have a role for them to perform well in or find something appealing to you even if they are not a rock solid fit for the role at hand. The choice is yours!

By inserting a TSME into the technical requirements gathering stage of the search process and then having them vet technical skills of potential candidates, the chance of candidates aligning well with your technical needs is augmented. We hope this is a value-add that you embrace.
