Why STACK IT
A boutique team, not a resume mill.
Large agencies optimize for volume and forward whoever is already in their database. We screen every candidate ourselves, so you talk to the people who actually evaluated them.

We screen every candidate ourselves
No database forwarding. The recruiter who evaluated a candidate is the one who briefs you on them.
A shortlist, not a stack
Three to five ranked candidates with real screening notes, not a pile of resumes to sort through.
Compliant by default
AI disclosure, interview consent, and Ontario Bill 190 requirements are built into every search.
Fast where it counts
First submissions in a couple of days, and contract roles filled in five to ten.

I had the opportunity to work with Sara, who understood my skills and goals and matched me with suitable opportunities. Her expertise made the job application process stress-free as she provided valuable insights and kept me informed throughout.
Ankita and JT were extremely helpful throughout the entire process, from the interview to receiving the offer letter. They provided guidance at every step, making the process smooth and seamless.
Ankita, Sara & JT are the best at what they do! Stack IT Recruitment is amazing in terms of hiring and job opportunities in the GTA region. Thanks for helping me find the right job and redeem my IT career.
