I've worked in a startup (employee #1) for an owner's rep (development) for local government agencies. I have grown it to 25 employees and three offices. Was offered equity, but the leadership team doesn't want to grow anymore. I'm relocating to DFW and would like a job in tech, specifically in SaaS as it relates to construction, permitting, management. Anyone have advice or referrals? Struggling to get passed resume phase and zero connections in TX.

Expanding your network would not harm you.

Try finding a good recruiter with 3 years minimum in the sector you are looking at. Send your CV and follow up with a call. The amount of time they give you and questioning will be an indicator of their interest in you and indicate how confident they are in placing you.

As for in house recruiters. Cut them out. Got to the person at the top or at least the direct reporting manager.

You can't rely on an internal recruiter fighting your corner and justifying to a hiring manager why they should meet you.

How much have you networked in the space?

Don't just send a CV the traditional way.
Fire a CV to the most senior person then call them.

Not much yet. We just made the decision to move to TX over winter break. I've reached out to the recruiters assigned to the position, but haven't heard back. Unfortunately my network is mostly government employees, designers and engineers in Oregon. I would love input on networking, remotely, to large companies.
