Everything you need to know about our approach to tech career placement.
QuietHire is a tech career placement service that connects elite tech professionals with high-quality job opportunities through our network of industry insiders. Unlike traditional recruiters who represent companies, we exclusively represent candidates and focus on getting you past the broken hiring systems that leave most applicants unnoticed.
Our approach combines insider access, strategic positioning, and personalized advocacy to get your profile directly in front of decision-makers, bypassing automated applicant tracking systems and generic job boards.
Traditional recruiters work for companies, not candidates. Their primary goal is to fill positions quickly to collect their fee, often treating candidates as interchangeable resources. QuietHire flips this model by working exclusively for you, the candidate.
Key differences include:
We focus exclusively on tech industry roles, primarily working with software engineers, data scientists, product managers, DevOps specialists, designers, and technical leaders. Our network spans from mid-level to executive positions across the tech industry.
We're most effective with candidates who have at least 2-3 years of experience in the tech industry, though we occasionally work with exceptional early-career professionals who demonstrate outstanding potential.
Our process is straightforward but highly personalized:
Throughout this process, we operate with complete discretion and keep you fully informed of our progress.
We're highly selective about who we work with, for several reasons:
In general, we look for candidates with strong technical skills, good communication abilities, and professional experience that will be attractive to our network of hiring contacts. We typically accept less than 20% of applicants to our service.
Absolutely. In fact, many of our clients are currently employed but looking for better opportunities. We understand the importance of discretion in these situations and take extra precautions to ensure your job search remains confidential.
We never share your information without your explicit permission, and we're careful to approach only trusted contacts who understand the need for confidentiality.
Our fee structure is designed to align our interests with yours:
The specific terms are clearly outlined in our service agreement and discussed during our consultation. This model ensures that we're motivated to not just find you a job, but to find you the highest-paying opportunity that matches your skills and goals.
Our income sharing model means we only collect the majority of our fee when you successfully land a position through our service. The initial fee is non-refundable as it covers our upfront work, but the success fee only applies if we actually help you secure a new position.
We're highly selective about who we work with precisely because we want to ensure we can deliver results. If we accept you as a client, it's because we're confident in our ability to help you land a great role.
While timelines vary based on your specific experience, target roles, and market conditions, our clients typically:
The process can be faster for candidates with high-demand skills or more specialized experience. During our initial consultation, we can provide a more personalized timeline based on your specific situation.
We maintain a network of contacts across the tech industry, including Fortune 500 companies, fast-growing startups, and established mid-size companies. Our connections span across various sectors including fintech, healthtech, enterprise software, consumer apps, AI/ML companies, and more.
For obvious reasons, we don't publicly disclose the specific companies or individuals in our network. The confidential nature of these relationships is part of what makes our approach effective. During our consultation, we can discuss whether we have connections in your specific areas of interest.
While we can't guarantee job placement (no ethical service can), our income sharing model means we're completely aligned with your success. We only accept candidates we believe we can genuinely help, and our track record speaks for itself.
What we do guarantee is that we'll leverage our insider network, expertise, and personalized approach to significantly improve your odds of landing a great position, particularly compared to traditional job search methods.
If you have additional questions that aren't covered here, we'd be happy to address them during a consultation. You can also reach out to us at info@quiethire.io with specific questions.
We believe in complete transparency and want you to have all the information you need to decide if our service is right for you.
Take the first step toward a more strategic job search with a team that's invested in your success.
