Tier2Tek Staffing provides direct hire Technical Writer Staffing for employers across the United States. We focus exclusively on full-time placements, helping companies secure documentation professionals who support compliance, product clarity, operational efficiency, and risk reduction.
Employers rely on technical writers to translate complex engineering, IT, cybersecurity, and regulated processes into clear, accurate documentation. When documentation fails, regulatory exposure, customer confusion, and operational inefficiencies increase. Our role is to identify professionals who understand both the technical subject matter and the business impact of their work.
Our nationwide reach allows us to recruit technical writers for on-site, hybrid, or fully remote roles depending on your organizational structure and compliance requirements.
