Getting a phone interview by contacting a company is easy if you have the right resume credentials. If not, you need someone to vouch for you to even get in the door. That&#x27;s what we&#x27;re doing for engineers who are strong but lack these credentials and the connections to be referred.<p>We find that engineers who apply to us even if they have those resume credentials are doing so for two reasons:<p>(1) People only have bandwidth to talk with a few companies. We have enough data across companies to filter out the ones you won&#x27;t be a technical fit for. This saves the wasted time of failed onsites, which as you say is the bane of existence for programmers.<p>(2) Finding companies you wouldn&#x27;t have otherwise heard about or realized were an interesting option for you. We can especially help here with engineers interested in joining smaller companies that haven&#x27;t had breakout success yet.<p>Traditional recruiters only help with getting you an introduction to an arbitrary company (usually whichever responded first to an email blast). We strongly believe that a recruiting service which does intelligent matching provides a lot of value for both candidates and companies (we wrote more about that here: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.triplebyte.com&#x2F;triplebyte-engineer-genome-project" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.triplebyte.com&#x2F;triplebyte-engineer-genome-projec...</a>).
