Pre-screen

Once we identify suitable profiles, we pre-screen each candidate to understand why they’re seeking a new role, learn about what they’re looking for, and do a resume walkthrough. If their experience and goals align with the position, we move forward with our second interview.

Recorded Technical Interview

With the candidate’s permission, we conduct a video-recorded technical interview that explore real-world scenarios, problem-solving approaches and even coding challenges. You can then review their technical expertise, communication style, and thought process to decide who to interview, saving you hours each week.

Interview Process & Offer

We check in with the hiring manager and the candidate at every step to maintain engagement and ensure the entire process goes smoothly. When it’s time to extend an offer, we work closely with the candidate to secure acceptance. Our hands-on approach keeps candidates informed and enthusiastic about the role, resulting in a higher rate of accepted offers.

We help employers solve real hiring challenges

I had an excellent experience with Sage Recruiting for our software hiring needs. Nicole was fantastic to work with. The pre-vetted candidates she provided were of top-notch quality. The candidate we ultimately chose has been a fantastic addition to our team. The time saved in the hiring process has proven to be invaluable, making the cost well worth it for our small business. I highly recommend Sage Recruiting!

If you're not leveraging Ashley Alfred for recruiting tech talent, I don't know WHAT you are doing! Ashley pretty much built our founding team at Earthly and previously found us a key hires at ShiftLeft. She can find some really amazing talent in US and Canada. I had gone through tons of recruiters before Ashley, and nobody comes even close!

Vlad A Ionescu, Founder at ShiftLeft & Earthly Technologies

I truly enjoyed working with Ashley and her team. The candidates she presented matched our needs perfectly. As we continue to grow our team in GTA / Ontario, I will absolutely reach out to Ashley first. I’ve worked with many recruiting agencies in the past and Ashley / Sage Recruiting is the best! If you need to find that diamond in the rough within the tech sector, I highly recommend using Ashley. She is awesome!
