IT Staffing Agency
Redtech has staffed engineering and IT teams across the Puget Sound since 1995. We place Software Developers, SDEs, Sr. SDEs, Business Analysts, and QA engineers on contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire terms.
We are a woman-owned small business headquartered in Redmond, so our recruiters know this market first-hand instead of forwarding résumés from a national database. Most searches produce a screened shortlist within 48 business hours.
Our search timeline
48 business hours to submittal
After an intake call we come back with a screened shortlist within 48 business hours — candidates we have spoken to about your specific role, not database forwards.
5 to 10 business days to fill
Typical time-to-fill runs five to ten business days from intake through accepted offer, assuming your interview loop can keep pace.
IT and developer titles we place
These are the requisitions Redtech fills most often in this discipline, on contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire terms.
Software Developer
Front-end, back-end, and full-stack engineers across .NET, Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and cloud stacks.
SDE
Software development engineers for product and platform teams working to defined engineering standards and review processes.
Sr. SDE
Senior engineers who can own a component, mentor a team, and make design calls without a spec handed to them.
Developer
Application and integration developers for internal IT, line-of-business systems, and enterprise platform work.
Business Analyst
Requirements, process, and business systems analysts for enterprise and public sector implementations.
QA Engineer
Manual and automation QA, test leads, and SDETs for release-critical and compliance-driven testing.
How you can engage us
Contract
Project-length capacity, from a three-month push to a multi-year program. You carry no employment overhead and can flex the team as scope changes.
Contract-to-hire
Work together first, convert later. Useful when a role is newly funded or the fit matters more than the résumé.
Direct hire
Permanent placement, including retained and contained search for business-critical and leadership roles.
Where the work is delivered from
Rates vary widely by delivery model, so we quote a band per role after intake instead of publishing one number that would be wrong for most engagements.
Local Puget Sound talent
The premium tier. Consultants who can be onsite or hybrid at your Seattle, Bellevue, Tacoma, or Olympia office, in-timezone all day. Best for roles that need stakeholder access, ambiguity, or client-facing work.
Nearshore (Americas)
Meaningful savings against local rates with substantial Pacific-time overlap. A good fit for capacity that needs daily collaboration but not a physical presence.
Offshore
The lowest hourly rate of the three, with a limited live-overlap window. Works best for well-defined, documented workstreams anchored by a local or nearshore lead.
Teams we support
Enterprise technology teams
Platform, product, and internal IT organizations that need experienced contractors who can ramp in days, not quarters. Microsoft and T-Mobile are among our client references.
Washington State agencies and municipalities
Development, analyst, and QA capacity for public sector systems, including the Department of Commerce, the Department of Ecology, the Port of Tacoma, and City of Seattle departments, under DES master contracts #14822 and #16322.
Retail, travel, and consumer enterprises
Developers, BAs, and QA supporting commerce, merchandising, supply chain, and customer platforms. Costco and Holland America are among our references.
Teams scaling with blended capacity
Programs that pair a local or nearshore lead in Pacific time with offshore delivery capacity to lower the blended rate without losing daily overlap.

IT and developer hiring questions
- How quickly can Redtech submit it and developer candidates?
- Redtech typically delivers a qualified shortlist within 48 business hours of intake, and most roles are filled in five to ten business days.
- What engagement types are available?
- Contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire, including retained and contained search for business-critical roles. Redtech can also run outsourced recruiting for a department or an entire hiring surge.
- How are bill rates set?
- There is no single rate for a title. Local Puget Sound consultants carry the highest rate, nearshore placements in the Americas reduce cost while keeping Pacific-time overlap, and offshore placements are the lowest hourly rate with a narrower live-overlap window. Redtech scopes a rate band per role after an intake call based on seniority, delivery model, and engagement length.
- Which clients has Redtech supported?
- Redtech client references include Microsoft, T-Mobile, Holland America, City of Seattle, and Costco, along with Washington State agencies including the Department of Commerce and the Department of Ecology, the Port of Tacoma, school districts, and higher education institutions.
- Can Redtech staff developers who work onsite in the Puget Sound?
- Yes. Because we recruit locally, we can present candidates able to work onsite or hybrid in Seattle, Bellevue, Redmond, Tacoma, and Olympia, as well as fully remote candidates when the role allows it.
- Do you place QA and test automation separately from development?
- Yes. QA engineers, test leads, and SDETs are screened on their own criteria — test strategy, automation frameworks, and release process — rather than treated as junior development candidates.
