Most recruiting firms treat technical roles like any other. We don't. Every Cordova recruiter comes from a technical background — which means we understand what you actually need, whether you're a hiring manager filling a senior backend role or an engineer evaluating your next career move.
Who we work with
We serve both sides of the market — with dedicated resources and expertise for each.
-
Employers
Hire vetted software engineers, architects, and tech leads — pre-screened for your stack and ready to interview. Direct hire, contract, and contract-to-hire.
-
Job Seekers
Ready for your next move? We represent engineers and developers at every career stage — from your first senior role to your next staff+ position.
How we place talent
Three engagement models to fit what your situation actually calls for.
-
Direct Hire
We find the right permanent hires for your team — software engineers, architects, and tech leads — vetted and ready to contribute from day one.
-
Contract
Need talent fast? Our contract recruiting connects you with experienced engineers available immediately for short or long-term engagements.
-
Contract-to-Hire
Try before you commit. Bring on engineers as contractors first, with a clear path to convert the right fits into permanent team members.
We recruit across the full technology stack — from frontend frameworks like React and Angular to backend languages, cloud platforms, and enterprise systems like Guidewire. Browse our coverage by technology to see the roles we actively place.
