Hiring engineers is not the same as hiring general staff.
Yet most recruitment processes treat it like it is.
And that’s where technical hiring goes wrong.
Why tech hiring fails inside companies
Not because talent doesn’t exist.
But because the screening layer is weak or non-technical.
Common breakdown points:
❌ Recruiters pass resumes without understanding real skill depth
❌ Candidates sound great on paper but break in technical rounds
❌ Too much time wasted by engineering teams in early screening
❌ Niche skills remain open for months (Golang, Cloud, DevOps, Data roles)
❌ Hiring cycles get stuck, product timelines slip
Every CTO has experienced this.
Not lack of candidates…
lack of qualified candidates.
Where Fractional Technical Recruitment fits in
Instead of adding a full-time recruiter, companies get technical hiring support only when they need it.
On-demand, cost-efficient, and run by someone who understands engineering.
What changes:
✔ Technical conversations done before a candidate reaches the CTO
✔ Role clarity defined with engineering — not generic JD templates
✔ Faster interviews with better matches, less noise for the team
✔ Niche talent sourcing for roles others struggle to fill
✔ Flexible ramp-up/down — no long-term recruiter overhead
This is not staffing.
This is technical recruitment with technical understanding.
What companies get with this model
You don’t buy resumes — you buy signal over noise.
You get:
-
Functional + technical screening done upfront
-
Engineers only meet candidates worth their time
-
Reduced interview load for senior devs
-
Better quality → faster hiring → quicker delivery
In simple terms:
Your engineering team keeps building.
I handle the hiring load.
The outcome founders & CTOs want
Not a pipeline.
A short-list.
Not resumes.
Candidates who can ship.
Final word
If your team is spending hours filtering candidates who shouldn’t even reach round 1, you don’t have a hiring problem —
you have a screening problem.
Fractional technical recruitment solves that.
