IT Staffing Agency in Tacoma, WA
Redtech recruits technology talent for Tacoma and Pierce County employers. We are a woman-owned Washington small business, headquartered in Redmond and working the South Sound as part of our home market — the Port of Tacoma is among our client references.
We fill contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire roles for enterprise, port, county, and municipal employers, with a screened shortlist typically delivered within 48 business hours and most roles filled in five to ten business days.
Roles we place in Tacoma
These are the requisitions we fill most often for Tacoma employers — on contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire terms.

How Tacoma 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
