For engineers
Your next move, handled quietly.
I work with systems, hardware, embedded, firmware, FPGA, RF, PCB, and power electronics engineers across the U.S. Most of them aren't actively looking. They want the right next role, not more recruiter messages.
How I work with engineers
Your time and your privacy come first.
Real roles only
When I reach out, it's about a specific role I'm working on. I'll share the job description and details, and we go over the rest on a call.
Nothing goes out without your OK
Your resume never goes to a company without your permission, and I keep your search discreet.
We check the fit first
Before any interview, we talk through the work, the team, commute or travel, compensation, and what you want next.
Honest feedback
If you're not a match, I'll tell you. If a company passes, I'll share why whenever I can.
Support through the offer
I help you prepare for interviews, keep the process moving, and work through the offer with you.
Confidential marketing
For the right background, I can bring you to the companies.
For select engineers, mostly senior engineers and engineering leaders, I can quietly market your experience to companies that fit what you want. Companies see what you've done, not your name or where you work.
We agree up front on what you're looking for and any companies to avoid, and nothing moves forward without your OK.

Recommendations
What engineers say.
“After meeting probably 60-70 recruiters in my life, there are literally only three I would send a good friend to, and Kat is one of them.”
“Kat demonstrated that she had a clear understanding of the various disciplines of software engineering. A week after our initial conversation she was able to arrange an interview for me with a client, and a week later present an offer.”
“I have worked with many recruiters, but Kat Restrepo is by far the best. She follows through on her words and commitments.”
“What she said was accurate and not inflated. Her honesty, compassion and straightforward style led to a very positive experience.”
