What sets Technical Integrity apart from our competition?
Nearly all of our clients come to us on a referral from someone who has worked with us in the past, and we are incredibly grateful for that. That said, recruiting and executive search remains a highly competitive arena and we are often one of a few firms being considered to help build out internal engineering and executive teams.
Often, one of the first questions we are asked is “What sets you apart”?
The good news is that our answer is simple: Everything.
We produced a short video series on this topic….see what those who know us best have to say about their experience.
Our core differentiators;
We are a mission and culture-centric firm
A distinct part of our specialty is working closely with organizations that have a deep commitment to their core values, their mission and their company cultures. We love helping build teams that embrace strong emotional quotients and Conscious Leadership principles. Organizations should work hard (and smart), but it’s important to note that those companies that foster truly healthy and welcoming work environments are among the most innovative and profitable.
We like to say that our approach is 51% emphasis on mission and cultural alignment and 49% around technical acumen. While a bit tongue-in-cheek, it’s an accurate portrayal of our methodology.
Most of our placements come from the trust we have cultivated in the startup community
We love building community and bringing people together. We’ve been actively producing and sponsoring events and showing up consistently as a good actor in the Colorado startup ecosystem since our inception in 2010. The Give First ethos is at our core.
Helping startup communities thrive for more than a decade has engendered a great deal of trust. As such, most of the engineers and executives we place with our clients are long-time friends, former clients and trusted referrals from our community. This is a very different approach than many other firms who rely heavily on Linkedin and cold outreach.
We embrace our role as a candid and trusted advisor
We take a hands-on, trusted advisor role in helping to build the country’s best engineering and executive teams. Our approach is successful in part because of our willingness to have hard conversations out of the gate. Some examples might be; If there has been attrition in recent months, what is the real reason behind it and what actions have you taken to rebuild trust within the organization ? How do you ensure team cohesiveness in times of massive growth and how do you adapt when things are coming off the tracks?
These aren’t easy conversations to have but digging in early ensures long term alignment for all parties.
We save you a great deal of time
Perhaps this should be at the top of our list. Hiring, even when done correctly, is an incredibly time-consuming process. Our white-label approach to building teams allows you to focus on what you do best, while we help you find the ideal candidates and shorten the time-to-hire process dramatically.
Whether you hand the entirety of the recruiting and hiring process over to us to act as an extension of your brand, or simply working with your internal team to speed things up, our job is always to make your life easier. One of the ways we can best accomplish that is giving you a substantial portion of your time back. We are with you all the way from the initial interview to the onboarding process, helping to create efficiencies and improve outcomes.
How much of your time would you like to have back?
We help you adopt hiring and onboarding best practices.
We know what works and what doesn’t when it comes to recruitment and retention. Efficient interviews and elegant onboarding processes play a key role.
The candidate interview experience is paramount to long term reputation management in the community. If you decide not to proceed with an offer for a finalist after a series of interviews, timeliness and messaging matters. We help you increase the odds that they will let their (potentially more qualified) colleagues know that it was a positive experience, even though they didn’t get the opportunity to join your team. This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to attracting and retaining top talent simply through a great process.
Many companies get parts of the interview and onboarding process right and then fall down at the one yard line. Let us help you win the day.
Our proprietary 360-degree analysis of prospective candidates is forthright, truthful and transparent
We take great pride in the fact that the three to (maximum) five candidates we submit for each role have the vast majority of the traits that you seek. We offer a truly honest assessment of an executive or engineer’s potential fit for your team. The key here is that we are open about any concerns (and how to address them in an interview) as well as sharing the reasons why the individual may be your ideal candidate.
It’s not just a pretty picture that you seek, it’s the full picture. Not every firm provides a full spectrum analysis.
Our 23 years of experience means we’ve seen almost everything
These days it’s easy to ‘put up a shingle’ and call yourself a recruiting firm, but making the wrong hire can cost you tens of thousands of dollars or even more, so working closely with a team that has deep team building experience matters. From in-depth technical vetting to ensuring competitive offer terms, anticipating counter-offers, navigating non-compete agreements, to running the correct background and reference checks, to simply making you aware of what a candidate’s spouse is thinking on a potential move across the country – we’ve seen it all, several times.
We can help you assemble your dream team and our decades of experience means we can help you anticipate how to tackle nearly any challenge that arises.
We are dedicated to you for as long as it takes
Our approach is different in that you are guaranteed to be the only company that sees our best candidates for each of your open roles. We will never send candidates to multiple clients in hopes of increased odds of a hire. YOUR needs are our focus, not anyone else’s. Contingent search is a faulty model that encourages firms to spread their risk, focus on new roles and not to complete a search that’s been in the works for a while.
You have our 100% dedication until the roles are filled and the team is functioning at a high level.
Our referrals and reviews speak volumes
We are incredibly honored to have become a trusted partner for so many great mission-driven organizations through the years.
In living by our namesake of having integrity in everything we do, and consistently delivering for our clients at a high level, we are so grateful to our clients for these powerful reviews and referrals.
