nologist leads by example by putting a human-oriented focus back into an industry that should have always been about the technologists themselves, the leaders hiring them, and the recruiters who work with both.

What is nologist?
​​nologist identifies tech-focused individual contributors to custom fit your environments' needs.
We provide technology recruiting. Whether you are mid-size, a Fortune 1000, or a start-up, we invest time forming bonds with both candidates and hirers to matchmake the right, unique fit for both (technically and culturally).
We estimate 92% of candidates we recruit for our clients are currently working elsewhere when they enter the nologist universe.
​
Why do we invest quality time understanding candidates' skill sets, interests, career growth aspirations, niche specialties, personalities, and advancement criteria?
Because of the result — us knowing exactly who to recommend for our client’s need NOW, or for needs that don’t exist currently but will undoubtedly emerge in the future.
What makes nologist intentional?
​
nologist only engages with clients and candidates when doing so will provide that client or candidate with tangible value: no unnecessary phone calls, sales pitches, extraneous resumes, poor-match job prospects, or excessive follow-ups.
The nologist difference...
TECH ONLY
nologist is deftly organized to serve unmet needs exclusive to the technology space. We're fluent in tech, making us dialed into candidate skill sets and understanding client tech needs.
-
Need to add to your Finance, Sales, or Legal team? This is not our lane. We’re rooted and focused solely in tech; this is where we add real value.
​​
EMPATHY-BASED LISTENING AND OPEN ENDED QUESTIONING TECHNIQUES
There may not be a more important thing we do in our discovery sessions than empathy-based listening and open ended questioning! These approaches contribute directly to the quality and accuracy numbers we've achieved.
-
Open-Ended Questioning techniques - nologist utilizes open-ended question techniques to not only retrieve granular details about a technologist's skill set and work product, but more importantly to understand what company and role can give that technologist a space that fits their custom growth trajectory.
​​
-
Camera on interviews - We video-interview our technologists, allowing us to get to know them on a deeper level. Our clients receive the benefit of this intentional and custom-to-that-technologist approach because we pair the client's need with that specific candidate’s wants.
​​
CANDIDATE & HIRER SUCCESS 1ST; nologist SUCCESS 2ND
While we acknowledge there is a “transaction” at the end, it shouldn’t feel “transactional.” Investing quality time both up front and over the long haul with candidates and hirers, we can achieve positive impact in both the near AND long term.
​
-
nologist leads with a listening approach because we care about the success of the human beings involved FIRST – the candidate and hiring manager – and nologist’s success SECOND.
​​
-
nologist will be wildly successful because it puts YOU first!
​​
INDEXING ON ACCURACY & EFFICIENCY
-
The Problem facing the industry - we’ve been told by hirers they receive 10, 20, or more resumes when hiring for a single opening.​ There is a better way!
​
-
Solution to the problem - nologist's approach has proven we can matchmake successfully by providing 1-3 resumes.
​​
RECRUITERS AND SALES COMPENSATED well and equally =
Deeper candidate networks FOR HIRING MANAGERS
-
nologist delivers best-in-class compensation packages for its employees (sales and recruiting are compensated well and equally). This is unique vs. many other recruiting firms (where sales is often compensated higher than recruiters).​
​
-
Why does this affect our Hiring Managers?
Recruiters are the conduit to the candidate market. By paying Recruiters & Sales well and equally, our clients receive more passive candidates, deeper candidate networks, and a noticeably better understanding of their unique needs.

the nologists
Individual contributors of all levels engage with nologist because:
-
Our candidate-focused approach leads them to real, custom-fit roles with companies they otherwise would not know about; ones that have a direct, positive impact on their next career move.
​​
-
We place a high value on listening and only bringing directly-matching opportunities (and avoiding non-fits).
Why nologist?
The technologist at your company – the right human being with that special set of skills – is what drives projects over the finish line and helps the hiring leader be successful.
nologist’s chief focus: discovering the who, what, why and how behind that technologist’s experience and motivators.
We’re NOT focused on: candidate submission and call quotas, gimmicks, sales cycles, metric-based recruiting, or extraneous fluff.
THE RESULT – a successful match for both hirer and candidate, and an enjoyable experience along the way.
