When you hire from RC, you don’t just get great people, you also help keep our educational retreat free for everyone, fund living-expense grants for people from traditionally underrepresented groups, and support world-class research.
We have disbursed more than $1M in need-based living-expense grants to people from groups traditionally underrepresented in programming. These grants help people pay for housing, food, childcare, and more during RC.
We charge companies 25% of a candidate’s first year salary, excluding bonuses, with a 90-day guarantee. If it doesn’t work out during that time, we’ll cancel the invoice for the full amount. Recursers don’t pay us anything to help them find a role or to attend the Recurse Center.
We send you engineers that are both interested in your company and that we believe would be a good fit. Every person we work with has attended our full-time programming retreat. During this time we get to know their technical capabilities and talk with them about their motivations, interests, and what they’re looking for in a company before making any introductions.
We welcome all companies looking for great programmers. Our current partner companies include small startups, mid-size tech companies, public companies, non-profits, and technology-focused hedge funds.
We help companies hire for all programming roles, including Backend, Frontend, Full-stack, Data Science, Data Engineering, DevOps, Android, iOS, Mobile, Quality Assurance, Security, UI/UX, Developer Relations, and Engineering Management. Experience levels vary from six months to 30 years of programming experience.
