IT Staffing Agency in Seattle
Redtech has recruited technology talent for Seattle employers since 1995. We are a woman-owned small business based in Redmond, which means our recruiters know this market first-hand rather than sourcing it from a national database three time zones away.
We fill contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire roles for enterprise employers, City of Seattle departments, school districts, and Washington State agencies — and we can blend local, nearshore, and offshore capacity when budget matters more than proximity.
Roles we place in Seattle
These are the requisitions we fill most often for Seattle employers — on contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire terms.
Marketing Project Managers
Campaign, content, and web project managers who can run creative and marketing operations workstreams.
Program Managers
Cross-team program owners for platform, migration, and multi-vendor technology initiatives.
Technical Project Managers
TPMs who can hold their own with engineering teams on architecture, dependencies, and release planning.
Software Developers
Front-end, back-end, and full-stack engineers across .NET, Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and cloud stacks.
Business Analysts
Requirements, process, and business systems analysts for enterprise and public sector implementations.
AI/ML Engineers
Machine learning engineers, data and MLOps engineers, and applied AI developers for model and agent work.
QA Engineers
Manual and automation QA, test leads, and SDETs for release-critical and compliance-driven testing.
How Seattle 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
