anything but formulaic.
Innovation starts with an idea. A concept. It’s the act of bringing that idea to life that stymies many technology businesses today. Identifying trustworthy, fresh thinkers or developers can be a true challenge.
But think how great it is when the right person fits the right position. Boom. You’re off.
This is where Kingfish comes in. With over 25 years experience in recruiting and placing talent for technology businesses of all sizes—we bring a personal, responsive approach to recruitment. We’re purposefully a small, nimble firm that creates lasting and meaningful relationships with our clients. This enables us to truly identify their unique position, goals and needs.
Similarly, we hand pick Kingfish talent based on candidate skillset, personality, background and goals. There’s no cookie-cutter formula at Kingfish—we apply a hand-crafted approach to identifying and recruiting our talent. And it works. And has for over two decades.

our approach
Here’s how we see it at Kingfish: no two businesses are exactly the same. Just as no two individuals are exactly alike. Each possess their own unique DNA—background, vision, strengths and spark.
It is capturing that true spark that drives us at Kingfish. Upfront, we strive to identify our client’s businesses culture, strategy and objectives. Their true essence. The same approach applies to candidates.
Our approach is anything but formulaic. We listen. We learn. We individualize. We’re purpose-built to truly wrap around our clients needs to deliver the right person for the jobs at hand.
