Here are 5 reasons why Blackhawk has become one of the top recruiting firms serving the technology sector:

1. We know your market.
We specialize in recruiting for clients in the following high technology sectors: Security, software, hardware, telecommunications, services, consulting, systems integration, data center operations, technical support and systems administration. Our own experience in health care, manufacturing, banking, financial services, venture capital, IT services and consumer electronics gives us a grounded understanding of the business models in each of those sectors. Our functional experience in marketing, sales, information technology management, human resources, facilities, tax accounting and finance insure that we screen for success in each of those fields.

2. We understand both early-stage companies, and public companies.
We are professional, yet very dynamic. We understand how to move fast and get the right candidates into the pipeline quickly. We founded and managed start-ups and early stage companies and we have worked in large public enterprises as well. The dynamic rigor and creativity required by a start-up environment when applied in large public company settings, dramatically improves the productivity and efficiency of the search process and results in rapid fulfillment.

3. We find the best candidates, period.
With over 40 years experience in high technology markets, we are very well connected; we know where to go and whom to go after. We don’t bother checking the references the candidate provides; we check the references that the references provide; that’s the only way to discover the truth. Because we have deep technical backgrounds, we thoroughly vet our prospective candidates until they become highly qualified candidates; candidates who are enthusiastic about contributing to your company’s success

4. We drive the process
We are very aggressive. One of the primary reasons to hire a recruiting firm is to get someone other than you managing the process; someone who is singularly focused on bringing the search to a successful conclusion. We move people and we move process. We won’t bore you with our structured search methodology, but trust us; we have one, and we use it to make sure that the search gets done; faster than you anticipate. We never take a recruiting assignment that we might fail to complete; in our entire history, the only searches that we have failed to complete are the ones that the client cancelled.

5. The 6 month guarantee
Where possible, we structure our fees as a combination of cash and stock options, so that we are directly invested in the measurable contribution our candidate makes to your enterprise. As a guarantee, we offer a full replacement at no additional cost should our candidate leave your employ for any reason within the first 180 days; that is the measure of our confidence in our ability to make a good match. No one else offers this level of guarantee.
