Our technology recruiting coverage includes software, infrastructure, cloud, data, IT operations, systems, support, project delivery, architecture, and technology leadership.
Whether you need a permanent employee, contract support, or a senior technology leader, Trova can build the search around your technical environment and business goals.
Technology Recruiting Experience Behind the Search
Technology recruiting has been part of Trova’s leadership experience since before the company was founded.
Co-founder Tim Lesnick began his career in IT infrastructure before moving into staffing and professional services. Co-founder Beau McGlamery began in software sales for the recruiting industry and later led a technology consulting and permanent recruiting practice.
Tim has described Trova’s advantage as the professional relationships its founders built over two decades. These connections help Trova reach experienced professionals without depending only on job postings.
That background gives Trova first-hand familiarity with technology, recruiting systems, consulting, and the business decisions behind important technology hires.
Technology Hiring Is
More Than Matching Keywords
A résumé may list the right programming language, cloud platform, database, or enterprise system without showing how the candidate applied that knowledge.
The same title can also represent very different responsibilities.
A software engineer may build new products, maintain legacy applications, or develop integrations.
An IT director may lead a support team or oversee infrastructure, applications, vendors, budgets, and technology strategy.
Trova works to understand:
- The business need: Why the position is open and what the employee must accomplish
- The technical environment: The systems, applications, infrastructure, tools, and constraints involved
- The scope of the role: What the person will own and how the position supports the wider organization
- The candidate opportunity: Why a strong technology professional would consider the position
- The measures of success: What effective performance should look like after the hire
This creates a more accurate search than relying on an old job description or list of technical terms.

When Organizations Need Technology Recruiting Support
Technology hiring demand often begins with a project, skill gap, or business change.
- Implementing new systems: An application, platform, integration, or infrastructure rollout requires skills the current team does not have.
- Modernizing technology: Legacy applications or aging infrastructure must be replaced, migrated, integrated, or improved.
- Scaling the organization: Growth requires more development capacity, stronger infrastructure, formal IT operations, or additional leadership.
- Advancing data initiatives: Reporting, analytics, migration, integration, data quality, or governance work requires specialized talent.
- Keeping projects moving: A deadline, delayed initiative, or overloaded team creates an immediate need for technical or delivery support.
- Closing a leadership gap: Growth, succession, transformation, or organizational change requires a manager, director, vice president, CIO, or CTO.
Trova uses the business situation to help determine the role, experience level, and recruiting model the organization needs.
Technology Recruiting Support for Different Hiring Needs
Technology recruiting defines the professional function Trova understands. The service model determines how the person joins your organization.
Direct Hire
Technology Recruiting
Direct hire recruiting supports permanent technology positions.
Trova helps define the candidate profile, identify and engage potential candidates, evaluate relevant experience, and support the interview and offer process.
Technology Staff Augmentation
and Contract-to-Hire
Staff augmentation adds temporary, contract, or contract-to-hire professionals to your existing team.
This model can help organizations add specialized skills, increase project capacity, cover a vacancy, or evaluate a professional before making a permanent hire. Your organization directs the work while Trova manages recruiting, employment, payroll, and assignment support.
Retained Technology
Executive Search
Retained executive search provides a dedicated process for senior, confidential, highly specialized, or business-critical leadership positions.
It may be appropriate for a CIO, CTO, vice president, or other leader whose decisions will influence technology strategy, investments, transformation, and long-term business performance.
Project-Based
Technology Services
Recruiting places a professional into a role your organization manages.
Project-based professional services are different. Trova accepts responsibility for a defined scope of work and helps assemble the consultant, subject-matter expert, project leader, or team needed to deliver it.
Technology Recruiting Experience in Action
Trova’s published technology engagements include both permanent engineering recruitment and flexible support for a global infrastructure transformation.
Scaling an
Engineering Team
A global consulting organization needed to onboard 150 engineers within six months.
Trova worked with talent acquisition and company leadership to understand the technology stack, work environment, and candidate requirements.

- 36 permanent engineering placements
- Average salary of approximately $150,000
- Performance ahead of six other recruiting firms working on the initiative
Supporting Global

- Delivery support: Release management and business analysis professionals
How Trova Evaluates
Technology Candidates
A polished interview does not always reveal who will perform best on the job.
In his DisruptHR presentation, Tim Lesnick encouraged employers to move beyond scripted questions and rehearsed answers. Trova applies that thinking by evaluating:
- Technical contribution: What the candidate personally designed, built, implemented, improved, or supported
- Scope and ownership: The size of the environment and the decisions the candidate was responsible for making
- Delivery and problem-solving: How the candidate handled technical problems, changing requirements, deadlines, and competing priorities
- Communication: How the candidate works with technical teams, business leaders, users, vendors, and customers
- Motivation and adaptability: What the person wants next and how well the opportunity supports continued growth
- Organizational alignment: The team, management style, pace, and environment in which the candidate is likely to succeed
The objective is not to hire the person who gives the smoothest answers. It is to identify someone who can perform, contribute, adapt, and grow after the interview.

Relationships Reach Candidates Job Postings Miss
Many experienced technology professionals are already employed and may not respond to public job postings.
Trova combines established professional relationships with current candidate research, referrals, and direct outreach. The team also refines the search as it gathers feedback from the employer and candidate market.
This approach helps Trova reach professionals whose experience may fit the opportunity, even when they are not actively applying.
