Today, Pencom combines our longstanding strength in technology recruiting with an expanded focus on some of the most highly sought-after engineering disciplines in the market -- from high-performance computing and low-latency systems to artificial intelligence infrastructure, cloud platforms and large-scale distributed systems.
Our recruiting capabilities include:
GPU, CUDA & AI Infrastructure Engineering
We recruit engineers who design, optimize and operate GPU-accelerated computing environments supporting artificial intelligence, machine learning, quantitative research, scientific computing and other computationally intensive applications. Our searches include GPU Engineers, CUDA Developers, AI Infrastructure Engineers, ML Infrastructure Engineers and performance optimization specialists.
Rust & Modern C++ Engineering
Pencom identifies highly specialized Rust and C++ engineers for organizations building performance-critical, low-latency and highly reliable systems. These skills are increasingly important across quantitative finance, electronic trading, aerospace, cybersecurity, infrastructure, AI systems and other industries where speed, efficiency and reliability matter.

Hard-to-find technology talent is what we do.
Staffing Services
At Pencom, we pride ourselves on being our clients' strongest advocate in the technical communities. Our years of experience have given us a thorough knowledge of what it takes to staff a company and assist it in achieving market dominance. We incorporate this knowledge in providing the most ideally suited technical candidates, in part through our proprietary PeopleBase., containing over 450,000 pre-screened candidates nationwide. Pencom recruiters are also highly trained in conducting aggressive targeted searches beyond our database, and can recruit your ideal candidate even if he or she is currently employed elsewhere. Pencom has developed the repeatable processes that allow quick ramp-up in recruitment for every position, meeting your needs as soon as you identify them. Yet when we begin a client/agency relationship, we build a recruiting process tailored to your needs, not a canned solution to which you have to adapt.
With Pencom as your partner, your hiring needs will be met with the precise attention and discriminating eyes of the best technical recruiters in the business. We develop a deep understanding of your technical, cultural, and organizational environment, and then use that understanding to help enrich your company with the top talent that it needs to grow. Our experience saves your hiring managers' time by locating qualified candidates they will not just consider, but pursue.
Full-Time Recruitment
People - not servers, not desks, not business cards - are what make a business successful. A core team of qualified, dedicated and passionate individuals is what drives innovation and reward. Pencom has a long history of meeting the core staffing need for full-time employees at its client companies.
Contractors/Consultants
Our recruiters can fill any open consulting needs within your organization. Whether your need is strictly contract or contract-to-hire, we provide highly skilled consultants for short-term, efficient solutions.
Onsite Engagements
Pencom is prepared to dedicate recruiters solely to your company, rapidly staffing your positions with the best talent. Whether they sit with your staff or in our offices, our recruiters spend all their time working to staff-up your firm. With over 30 years of experience building both private and public companies, we can leverage that experience to develop a world-class recruiting mechanism for your company.
Executive Search
We recognize that the recruitment of your top-tier employees requires more discriminating standards, more broad experience, and more exhaustive qualifying than any other type of recruitment. Our executive search practice represents 28 years of experience, and the career-long relationships we've developed with scientific and technical professionals as they've risen through the best organizations.
