Hire cybersecurity talent across Canada.
From the perimeter to the codebase, we recruit the people who defend your systems, catch what others miss, and prove your controls hold, vetted by recruiters who understand the work.
Layers of defense
Defense, in depth.
Security isn’t a product you buy. It’s layers of defense that have to hold together, and we recruit for every one.
Why STACK IT
We staff every layer of your defense.
A wall of certifications doesn’t prove someone can defend a live environment. We screen for the people who can.
Recruiters who speak security
Our recruiters know the difference between a blue-team analyst and a red-team operator, and they screen for the one you actually need.
Verified, trusted, real
Security hires demand trust. We meet every candidate face-to-face on video and confirm their background, so who you interview is who shows up.
One bar, SOC to pentest
Whether it’s a tier-1 analyst or a senior penetration tester, the same two-reviewer screen and 90-day guarantee apply.
How we screen
One bar, held every time.
The deep role-specific rubric lives on each role page. Across the category, every search runs on the same method.
Recruiter-led, not cert-matched
A stack of certifications doesn’t prove someone can defend a live environment. We screen against real scenarios.
Two reviewers per shortlist
No candidate reaches you until a second reviewer signs off, so the bar holds on every search.
Screened to stay
Security talent is in high demand and easily poached. We align trajectory and total comp so the hire sticks.
Backed by the guarantee
Permanent placements carry a 90-day replacement guarantee, and contract roles a fast backfill, at no extra cost.
FAQ
Hiring cybersecurity talent, answered.
Across the defense lifecycle: security engineers who build the controls, analysts who run detection and response, and penetration testers who find the gaps first. Browse them on the Find IT Talent hub.
You'll typically see your first qualified candidate within 24–48 hours, and a calibrated shortlist of three to five within about five business days. Most permanent roles close in two to three weeks; contract placements often start within 5–10 business days.
For permanent hires it's success-based: you pay only when a candidate starts, with no upfront fee or retainer. Contract placements run on a transparent hourly rate that already covers payroll, compliance, and onboarding. There's no cost to simply engage us.
Permanent placements are backed by our 90-day replacement guarantee: if it doesn't work out within the first 90 days, we replace them at no charge. For contract roles, our backfill guarantee means we replace a contractor quickly and at no extra cost if they exit early.
No. We work non-exclusively by default, so you can keep your internal sourcing running or use other firms alongside us. We'd rather earn repeat business through results than lock you into an agreement.
