Founded by an Engineer, For Engineers
After 20 years as a software engineer in both the US and abroad, I saw the same problem everywhere: staffing agencies run by people who had never written a line of code. They matched resumes to job descriptions, wasting countless hours for hiring managers and candidates alike.
I founded DataBarque on a simple principle: it takes an engineer to know an engineer.

We don’t just search for keywords; we analyze skills, evaluate problem-solving abilities, and understand the real-world demands of your projects. We speak your language—from cloud architecture to CI/CD pipelines—ensuring the candidates you meet are not just qualified on paper, but are genuinely the right fit for your team.

During our initial deep-dive, we focus on understanding your team's dynamics, communication style, and values. We screen for soft skills with the same rigor we apply to technical skills.
Our goal is to present a curated shortlist of 2-4 highly qualified, pre-vetted candidates within 48-72 hours for most standard roles, allowing you to start the interview process immediately.

Finally, a recruiting firm that gets it. The candidates Databarque sent us for our Senior Python role were on a completely different level than what we'd seen from other agencies. It was clear they had been technically vetted.
