Technical recruiting for roles that are hard to fill
KAMZ fills software, AI/ML, embedded, controls and data roles two ways: direct-hire search for companies, and split placements with recruiters. Contingency only. No fee unless someone is hired.
{ Technical Recruiting, simplified. }
We run the search, screen every candidate technically, and send you a short list. You pay only if you hire.
How direct hire works → FOR RECRUITERS · SPLIT PLACEMENTS Stuck on a technical reqYou keep the client. We bring pre-screened engineers with signed RTRs, and we split the fee in writing.
How splits work →Full-time engineering hires, on contingency
Tell us who you need. We find engineers who fit, run a real technical conversation with each one, and send you a short list worth interviewing.
- No upfront costYou pay a placement fee only when your new hire starts.
- A short list, not a pile of résumésTwo or three candidates who have already been screened on the technical work.
- Technical screening, not keyword matchingEvery candidate goes through a real technical conversation before you see them.
- Replacement guaranteeIf a hire doesn't work out early on, we run the search again at no charge.
Three ways recruiters work with KAMZ
Pick the setup that fits your desk. Every arrangement is agreed in writing before any candidate details are shared.
You have the req, we have the candidate
Send the technical roles that are stuck. We source and screen, you submit to your client, and we split the fee when someone starts.
your client → our candidate → split feeYou have a great candidate with nowhere to go
Strong engineers who don't fit your current openings can go to our clients. You keep credit and share in the fee.
your candidate → our client → split feeYou bring the relationship, we run the search
Refer companies you know that need technical hires. We handle sourcing, screening and submittals, and you share in each placement.
your contact → our search → split feeFrom req to placement, without stepping on your client
