Technical Hiring Guidance & Embedded Evaluation
Akron Flux
Apr 22, 2025
We help organisations make smart technical hires - especially when they lack the time, technical depth, or confidence to do it alone.
And we do it without turning people into faceless CVs or treating hiring like a numbers game. Candidates are people, not resources in the pipelines.
What Might Be Holding You Back
You’re hiring blind
It’s hard to assess technical capability if you’re not technical yourself. CVs, jargon, and interview patter don’t tell the full story.
No time to vet properly
Your team is already overloaded. Deep evaluation takes hours you don’t have.
You’ve made the wrong hire before
You know what it costs to get it wrong - missed deadlines, team disruption, reputation damage. You can’t afford a repeat.
Unclear on what you actually need
A full-stack dev? A data engineer? A systems thinker? It’s easy to ask for the wrong thing - or for everything at once.
Too many applicants, not enough clarity
Generic job specs attract the wrong people. You end up sorting noise instead of spotting value.
