What a fantastic group to work with! I met with several of the wonder folks at Zilker Partners during my last job hunt, and I was continuously amazed at how personable and hard working each one was. They helped my understand my own worth, and pushed me to achieve far more than I would have been capable of my own. From vetting employers, to coaching interview preparation, or simply being there for you, on your team, for the big moments in the application process; these guys know how to get things done! I do not plan on moving on from my new role anytime soon. However, if/when I do, I will be

What separates Zilker Partners from all other recruiting services is the sheer amount of business knowledge. The background of the ownership actually comes from working in the tech world, not just recruiters that decided to recruit for tech. They know people, they are connected and they are invested. They actually get to know the business they are working with as well as the people and their personalities. They can speak the tech speak fluently and can separate people who know it and those who don't. All of this accumulated knowledge makes ZP extremely adept at putting the right people in the right

First of all, Zilker Partners isn't just "some" staffing agency... It's THE staffing agency. These guys and girls are rockstars. They not only try and place you in a role, but they do the work that is needed to place you in the best role possible. I've had the pleasure of working with Shannon, who completely went above and beyond. She placed me into a role of my dreams and I couldn't be anymore thankful. No need to think twice when it comes to Zilker Partners, they will 120% take care of you.

I loved working with Sophie! She was the first recruiters I spoke to that took the time to get to look over my website and past work to be able to place me better. We got coffee and she wanted to actually get to know me and my goals, and she found me an incredible job because of it. I highly recommend them for placing tech talent. Zilker seems to really care about putting people in the right role that's aligned with their growth goals..etc. I've recommended them to a number of friends because of it.

My experience working with Stephanie at Zilker Partners has been amazing. They work extremely hard to make sure you are a good fit for the company they place you at. I appreciated that they would check up on me and how I was doing in my new role at least every 2 weeks. It really made me feel like I wasn't alone. It can be really stressful starting a new job they cut that out of the whole process. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

I normally hate working with recruiting and staffing agencies, but my experience with Zilker Partners was as close to "perfect" as I could have expected it to be. The level of communication about my skills and goals before going before a company was a really nice touch. I felt that my recruiter was trying to really help me get something that not only fit what I was looking for, but also fit their customers need. Im very happy to say that I interviewed with a local company and was extended an offer after two days. I would gladly recommend Zilker Partners to anyone that is on the fence about using
