Find hiring managers in tech (job search)
You want to reach the people who own engineering headcount instead of waiting in the applicant queue.
("engineering manager" OR "director of engineering" OR "head of engineering" OR "VP of engineering") AND (SaaS OR software OR platform) NOT (recruiter OR "talent acquisition") These are the titles that typically own technical hiring decisions, searched directly instead of guessed at. The industry keywords focus results on your target segment, and excluding recruiters keeps the list to the people the role reports to.
