Austin Technical Recruiting
Austin Technical Recruiter
New Iron helps Austin employers hire software engineers, SaaS and product teams, data and DevOps engineers, semiconductor and MES specialists, and technical leaders.
Austin Technical Hiring
Austin technical hiring spans both software and product teams and semiconductor and industrial environments. New Iron keeps the search grounded in the actual work.
Austin's technical market spans SaaS and product companies downtown and along the Domain, and a semiconductor and industrial corridor stretching toward Round Rock, Taylor, and Georgetown. New Iron recruits across both, calibrating on the actual work and environment rather than titles.

How We Screen
Austin has strong candidate density and high noise. We cut through both.
Technical bar over credentials
We screen for what candidates have actually built, shipped, or supported rather than credential matching and years of experience.
Fit over keyword match
We calibrate on environment, must-haves versus nice-to-haves, candidate constraints, and motivation to make sure the placement lasts.
Context and communication
Strong engineers who cannot communicate across teams or adapt to a new environment rarely succeed. We screen for both.
