About Us

Tech Driven, People Inspired

With a name inspired by our love of Star Wars, cheeky insubordination, and bold ambition, Rogue Talent is headquartered in Cap City, Ohio and fueled by Midwestern "hustlempathy." Our unique recipe for tech recruiting is untraditional, yet the proof is in the people we've served... on both sides of the hiring table. What began as a boutique talent shop specializing in cybersecurity has evolved into the full stack (engineering + product, IC + C-Suite) strategic hiring partner we are today.

Rogue One, Principal Recruiter: Meet founder Chad White. After 8 years of cutting his teeth in the IT "staff augmentation" world, he decided it was time to bring the human factor of recruiting back to the forefront. Established early 2015, Rogue Talent was born from an industry desperately in need of reform & reinvention. With over 17 years of experience in the high-velocity tech industry, Chad and his trusted partners provide small-scale, quality-first talent acquisition expertise committed to both candidate & client. Welcome to the era of CX, proudly based right here in the Silicon Heartland

Like most of our problems in the tech sector, we cannot just solve them with more technology & data. This one is a human problem, and we need to solve it by being more human.” – Jeff Kolesky, Software Engineer & blogger

Our Mission: Putting the "Person" Back In "Personnel"

Happy Customer

Recruiting in tech has become unbearably stale and transactional, almost robotic, which is why we're making the candidate experience (CX) human again. Rogue Talent genuinely cares about and invests in the long-term success of candidate and client alike. The way we see it, as this exciting industry evolves, so too should the way we recruit and hire for it.
