Your Team Is Stretched. The Backlog Is Growing.

Your best engineers are pulled between production fires and new feature work. The last two hires from job boards washed out in 90 days. And the big staffing firms keep sending resumes that miss the mark — wrong stack, wrong level, wrong culture.

DASH2 exists to solve exactly this. We're a boutique technology staffing firm that specializes in placing mid to senior-level contractors who integrate into your team and deliver from week one. Our recruiters know the difference between a React developer and a React developer who can own your design system. That specificity is why our submittal-to-hire ratio is 3:1.

Technology Staffing Across Our Markets

Salt Lake City & Utah (Silicon Slopes)

Our SLC headquarters has placed contract tech talent into Utah’s biggest employers for fifteen years, plus the growth-stage companies defining Silicon Slopes. We know Utah compensation bands, the companies worth joining, and the common failure modes hiring managers hit when scaling tech teams in Utah.

Denver & Colorado Front Range

Our Colorado office serves Denver, the Denver Tech Center, Boulder, Fort Collins, and the broader Front Range. Denver’s tech sector employs 53,000+ professionals across fintech, aerospace, health tech, and deep-tech. We place contractors and SOW squads into Front Range companies with the same vetting depth we apply in Utah — with Denver metro as our primary Colorado market.

Nationwide Remote

Our US-based recruiters source and vet candidates nationwide. Most engagements are remote or hybrid, placed into companies headquartered anywhere in the US.

How It Works

Step 1

You Brief Us

Walk us through your stack, team dynamics, and what the role needs to deliver. We ask the technical questions most recruiters skip — frameworks, CI/CD tooling, data architecture, team topology. This isn't a job order intake; it's a working session.

Step 2

We Source and Vet

Our senior recruiters work your requirement like a dedicated search — not a keyword match. Every candidate goes through technical screening, stack-specific validation, and culture-fit assessment before you see them. Average time to first candidate: 3 business days.

Step 3

Your Contractor Starts

Once you select your hire, we handle onboarding, payroll, benefits, and ongoing support. We stay engaged throughout the assignment — checking in with both the contractor and your team to make sure the fit holds and productivity stays high.

Common Questions

What tech stacks does DASH2 recruit for?

Full modern stack: cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), infrastructure (Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker), backend (Python, Go, Java, Node, .NET, Ruby), frontend (React, Vue, Angular, Next.js), mobile (Swift, Kotlin, React Native), data (Snowflake, Databricks, dbt, Airflow, Kafka), AI/ML (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face), and specialized platforms (Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday). Our recruiters maintain stack depth; they don’t treat candidates as keyword matches.

How quickly can DASH2 place a technology contractor?

Three days is our average to first submitted candidate. Ten days is our average to signed placement and start date. For urgent roles, we can often submit same-day when a clear job intake is complete. Our 3:1 submittal-to-hire ratio means minimal review load on your hiring managers.

What experience level of technology talent does DASH2 place?

DASH2 places experienced contract and direct-hire technology professionals — individual contributors through technical leadership. Specific experience requirements are scoped per engagement. We specialize in placing contractors with demonstrable shipping experience on the target stack rather than competing on volume or junior-level generalists.

Can DASH2 staff a full engineering team, not just individuals?

Yes. Our SOW and squad engagement model places a co-managed team (typically 3–10 engineers plus a delivery lead) into a client’s roadmap, funded from the client’s SOW budget rather than headcount budget. The client owns the deliverable; we own the talent. Common use cases: net-new product builds, major migrations, data platform buildouts, and capacity surges.

Does DASH2 offer nearshore tech talent from LATAM?

Yes. Our Nearshore division places individually vetted technology professionals from Latin America into US-based teams. Engineers, data professionals, QA, DevOps, and technical leadership — time-zone aligned with US working hours, vetted with the same rigor as our domestic placements. Not offshore — nearshore only.
