Are you living in Colorado Springs and looking to relocate to Texas? Perhaps you’ve heard that some of the best technical jobs in Texas are located in the Dallas technology corridor.  One of the challenges you might face in relocating is finding the best technical recruiter; one who won’t waste your time with jobs that are not a good fit for your skill set.  As someone who has recently landed a job with a well-known technology company in Texas, I learned a lot about working with recruiters. 

After a few bad experiences, I finally decided to ask for some help from my “network”.   I checked on LinkedIn to see if anyone I knew was already working for one of my targeted technology firms, and I found that a few of my connections from college had recently landed technical jobs in Texas.  Rather than spending a lot of time calling recruiters in the area, I asked my two colleagues for a referral.  It turned out that both of them had similar experiences working with recruiters who knew very little about the IT industry. But surprisingly, both of them recommended the same recruiter for finding technical jobs in Texas.  They recommended I get in touch with GTN Technical Staffing, a full-service technical recruiting firm with a reputation for placing highly skilled IT professionals in technical jobs in Texas and around the globe. 

When I did a little research on the company, I learned that all of their recruiters undergo a careful technical evaluation to assess their technical knowledge.  The recruiting team at GTN consists of project managers and technical leaders, web application developers, business analysts, systems administrators and network engineers.  Needless to say, this made me feel a lot better about my job search.

After connecting with the same recruiter that had helped my colleague land his “dream job” in Dallas, I soon began learning about many technical jobs in Texas that were not posted on any of the job boards.  My recruiter explained to me that at GTN, they have access to jobs that are not widely publicized on the Internet. Rather than posting the job out in cyberspace and sifting through hundreds of resumes, many hiring managers rely on GTN exclusively to find the best talent in the IT industry.

Remember, not all technical recruiters are created equal.  If you are serious about finding the best technical jobs in Texas, work with the technical recruiters at GTN Technical Staffing.
