IT Staffing in Olympia & for Washington State Agencies
Redtech staffs technology roles for Washington State agencies in Olympia and Thurston County. We are a woman-owned Washington small business and hold DES master contracts #14822 and #16322, so agencies can engage us without running a new procurement.
Our state agency references include the Department of Commerce and the Department of Ecology. We fill contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire roles, typically delivering a screened shortlist within 48 business hours and filling in five to ten business days.
Roles we place in Olympia
These are the requisitions we fill most often for Olympia employers — on contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire terms.

How Olympia bill rates are structured
There is no single rate for a title. What you pay depends far more on where the work is delivered from than on the requisition itself, 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 or Eastside office, in-timezone all day, and fully immersed in your team's rituals. 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 development, QA, and analyst 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 — test execution, maintenance, build-out against clear specs — usually anchored by a local or nearshore lead.
What moves a rate inside a band
- Seniority and scarcity of the skill set
- Onsite, hybrid, or fully remote expectations
- Engagement length and total headcount
- Contract vs. contract-to-hire vs. direct hire
- Security, clearance, or compliance requirements
- Blended teams that mix local leads with nearshore or offshore capacity
