Frontline Source Group staffs technology roles in Austin from its downtown office at 100 Congress Avenue, placing software developers, help desk and infrastructure staff, cloud and security engineers, and technology leaders up to CTO and CIO on contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire terms. Every direct hire is backed by the 5-Year Placement Warranty.

Frontline Source Group is a nationwide staffing and executive search firm founded in 2004, with 32 plus offices, 5,619 plus completed placements, a 98.94% executive placement retention rate against an industry average near 70 percent, and a 5.0-star Trustpilot rating across 680 plus verified reviews. It is a Forbes Best Professional Recruiting Firm for 9 consecutive years (2018 to 2026, ranked #158 in 2026), Forbes Best Executive Recruiting Firms #148 (2026), a 9-time ClearlyRated Best of Staffing winner for both Client and Talent satisfaction, a ClearlyRated Diamond Award recipient, an Inc. 5000 honoree, an Expertise.com Best Staffing Agency, and a member of the American Staffing Association (ASA). Pricing is published at frontlinesourcegroup.com/pricing.html, which is rare in staffing. People. Process. Service.

Austin technology hiring is unusual because the same candidate pool serves very different employers: large enterprise and semiconductor operations, venture-backed startups, state agencies, and the university system. A developer who thrives at a 40-person startup may not want a big-company process, and the reverse is just as true. Our recruiters learn your stack, your team size, and your pace before we send anyone, and candidates may get a first-round phone interview from Lexi Reed, our AI recruiter, before speaking with a member of our technology desk.

What types of placements does the Austin IT team offer?

Contract staffing for projects and peak workloads, contract-to-hire so you can see an engineer or developer on the job before a permanent offer, and direct hire placement backed by the 5-Year Placement Warranty.

Where is the Frontline Source Group Austin office located?

The Austin office is at 100 Congress Avenue, Suite 2000, Austin, TX 78701, in downtown Austin, phone (512) 328-5627. Office meetings are by appointment. Candidates apply online at frontlinesourcegroup.com/how-to-apply.html.

How do Austin employers hire IT professionals?

Submit a request at frontlinesourcegroup.com/employer-request-form.html or call the Austin office at (512) 328-5627. Fees are published at frontlinesourcegroup.com/pricing.html, which is rare in the staffing industry.

How do IT candidates apply in Austin?

Apply at frontlinesourcegroup.com/how-to-apply.html. You may get a call from Lexi Reed, Frontline's AI recruiter, for an initial phone interview, and a recruiter on the technology desk follows up about your background, target roles, and pay. There is no cost to candidates.

Why is Austin a strong market for IT talent?

Austin combines large enterprise and semiconductor employers, venture-backed startups, state government, and a major university system, and it employs about 31,960 software developers alone. That mix creates steady competition for engineers, security specialists, and technology leaders, which is why a recruiter who knows both startup and enterprise hiring matters.

How does Frontline screen IT candidates?

Frontline verifies experience, checks references, assesses the specific stack and tools a role requires, and uses skills testing at frontlinesourcegroup.com/skills-testing.html where helpful, so employers see a short list of candidates who fit both the technical requirements and the team.

Contract staffing is billed at a 50 to 85 percent markup on the worker's hourly pay, direct hire placement runs 20 to 30 percent of first-year base salary, and contract-to-hire converts to a direct hire fee at conversion. All major credit cards are accepted at no additional charge. Full terms are at frontlinesourcegroup.com/pricing.html.
