Huntly

Tech recruiting platform for referral-based hiring

Huntly is a tech recruitment platform that connects employers with pre-screened IT candidates through a network of recruiters. The homepage says the platform works across a global recruiter network and is designed to help companies fill technical vacancies faster and with less upfront cost than traditional agencies.

Employers can post vacancies and receive referred candidates, while Huntly’s internal team reviews CVs against the job description before the client continues with technical and culture-fit interviews. The site positions the service for a range of technical roles, from software engineering and DevOps to data, blockchain, mobile, QA, and AI-related positions.

  • Cross-border hiring

    Helpful for international companies that need candidates in a specific geography or want access to a broader global talent pool.
