After graduating from the University of Virginia in May 2020 with degrees in computer science and business innovation entrepreneurship, Spearman expected to start her career like any other young professional. Unfortunately, the health crisis changed that, so she quickly launched Techie Staffing.
“I decided to start my own company after my job offer was rescinded and entry-level positions were put on hold,” she told Lifewire in an email interview. “A lot of companies were hiring senior engineers, but there weren’t many entry-level positions available.”
Techie Staffing is a technology staffing agency with a team of senior technical recruiters with a proven track record of building teams. Timing aside, Spearman was inspired to launch the agency after noticing the challenges of supply and demand for sufficient technical talent.
