This month we’ve moved to New York City, to source the top full stack developers in tech.
Companies of all sizes are under pressure to increase diversity in their teams. Particularly in their tech teams. The low representation of women in the tech sector has been one of the biggest issues of 2015.
Now, we don’t claim to be experts on the issue of diversity in tech. But we are seeing a huge increase in the number of companies looking to proactively identify and attract a more diverse range of candidates. This is an area we do know something about.
When a company has a very specific type of candidate they want to hire, it influences every step of their hiring process. One of the most important steps happens at the very beginning, and it’s called sourcing.
Sourcing is the process of identifying the specific characteristics of your ideal candidate, then finding as many people who meet that criteria as possible. And at RecruitLoop, we’ve created a very specific sourcing algorithm and process to help companies do this, anywhere in the world. We call it Sourcing as a Service.
Here is a list of the top 50 full stack developers in New York City, based on their experience, qualifications and digital footprint.
Check out the amazing list of female engineers leading the charge in NYC!
