Why tech employers work with DS Recruit

Tech hiring in Australia has gotten harder. Senior candidates are scarce, market salary ranges shift quarter-on-quarter, and a polished resume frequently masks the 14% accuracy of an unstructured interview. The cost of getting it wrong has been estimated at over $240,000 per bad hire.

We screen for fit before we send a single CV. Every shortlisted candidate has been spoken to, technically pre-screened against your stack, and reference-checked. You see fewer profiles, and every one of them is real.

Every placement comes with our 90-day replacement guarantee. If a hire doesn't work out inside 90 days, we re-recruit at no additional fee.

Tech hiring FAQs

How quickly can you fill a tech role?

Most tech briefs receive a qualified shortlist inside 7 days. Hard-to-fill specialist roles (e.g. niche security or staff-engineer level) may take longer, but we will tell you upfront if that's the case.

Do you place contractors as well as permanent staff?

Yes. We place permanent, fixed-term and day-rate contract roles across our tech specialisms. Contract placements include all relevant payroll, super and insurance arrangements.

What technology stacks do you cover?

We work across the standard Australian enterprise stacks — AWS, Azure, GCP, Python, Java, .NET, Node/TypeScript, React, modern data warehouses (Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks) and the major security tooling vendors. Tell us your stack and we will match accordingly.
