Rooster Park: A Seattle Software Development & Staffing Consultancy

Building your business is our business.

Staffing with Rooster Park

Rooster Park provides both contract and full-time software professionals for some of Puget Sound's top product development companies. We focus on high value, hard-to-find candidates, and build great teams for our partners for both onsite and offsite work. We're not a body shop: if you need 10 low-cost manual testers tomorrow, there are better shops than ours. If you need solid, experienced engineering talent, or help finding the best college hire for your specific need, we're the firm for you.

What makes us different? We're obsessively focused on carefully selecting and vetting our candidates and contract staff, so that our clients aren't overwhelmed with a pile of resumes with the appropriate buzzwords. Approximately 50% of our candidates come directly from our network or have worked with us before: for those who don't, we spend an average of four hours evaluating the candidate's skill set before sending them your way. When we do send them to you, we provide a detailed, real bio, not just a buzzword checklist. We send many fewer candidates, but the ones we do send meet your requirements: in the first half of 2011, we had a 3:2 candidate interview:offer ratio.

Our contractor team is uniquely strong in the region, and is growing regularly - we're always hiring talented and customer-ready engineers. Our engineering staff comes from full-time roles at large companies like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, and mid-sized companies like Marchex, Medio, and WhitePages.com. Many of our engineers (sadly for us!) end up joining our partner companies as full-time employees.

We also do full-time recruiting for a range of software engineering roles, and regularly get called on when companies haven't had luck finding the candidates they need on their own.
