The Seattle Tech Market
Why IT Hiring in Seattle Requires More Than a Job Posting
Seattle's technology ecosystem is defined by the gravity of Amazon and Microsoft, which anchor a sprawling network of tech spinoffs, cloud-native startups, and enterprise software companies. The city has one of the highest concentrations of senior engineering talent anywhere in the world, but also some of the most intense competition for that talent. Seattle engineers are sophisticated about their career choices — they evaluate team quality, technical stack, and company trajectory as carefully as compensation. Winning them requires a recruiter with real relationships, not just job alerts.
