Daniel Sweet’s Summary

WHAT I DO
-----
I find the hard-to-find technical candidates for your business. Primarily, I work on contract to companies from midsize up to Fortune 500 size.

Having been on all sides of the desk (as a tech, a hiring manager, and a recruiter), I am able to find the right kinds of candidates for my clients without throwing hundreds of resumes at them.

While most of my recruiting work is done for the Houston and Texas area, I do specialized searches for very well-qualified clients nationwide.

If you need a specific technology candidate OR are looking for a remote contract recruiter to work on your technical personnel needs, give me a shout.

Get to know me better at FRACAT (www.fracat.com).

MY BACKGROUND
-----
Professionally, I've been in the Technology Industry, through all of its up and downs, since 1990. Starting as a break/fix tech and moving through the ranks of Systems Engineering, Project Management, Technical Management, Salesman, Sales Manager, Recruiter / Headhunter, and part-time Marketing Guy, I've experienced just about all parts of the industry.

As a result of finding lots of jobs for myself, interviewing an army of technical guys, and working as a headhunter doing both, I enjoy helping people find jobs, improve their work life, and move through their career.

Personally, I try to play an active part in my church. We feel like we're a part of some exciting things that God is doing in Houston. We've recently moved from what turned into a "MegaChurch" back down to a smaller church and even the kids are enjoying it more.

Speaking of children, my wife and I are the proud parents of 3 beautiful, talented, intelligent girls. We are homeschooling the older two (1st and 3rd Grade) and they are (usually) great students.

Daniel Sweet’s Specialties:

My main specialty is Houston, TX-based contract recruiting work in the technology industry. Specifically, I utilize my 15ish years in the technology industry to help companies find the exact technology-related talent that they are looking for. That includes software developers, network administrators, project managers, technology-related salespeople, junior- and senior-level technology management, and even other recruiters.

  Coming from an in-depth technology background (as a propeller-head worker, manager, and recruiter), I am very good at finding the right skillset AND personality match within the technology space.
