Matching Companies with Top IT Talent Since 1993

At Smith Johnson Tech, we believe that a company is only as strong as the professionals who power it. As a specialized IT staffing agency headquartered in Sandy, Utah, we have spent over three decades bridging the gap between innovative companies and the highly qualified technology experts they need to succeed.

Built on Experience, Driven by People

Smith Johnson Tech was founded in 1993 by Dennis Johnson, an industry veteran who spent 18 years in IT leadership at Albertson’s Corporation followed by six years as an independent consultant.

Having sat on both sides of the hiring table, Dennis realized that the “one-size-fits-all” approach of many recruiting firms was failing both the client and the candidate. He founded Smith Johnson Tech with a contractor-first perspective, ensuring that every placement is built on a foundation of mutual respect, transparency, and technical excellence.
