Hiring for Education & Non-Profits

Powering Canada w/ tech talent

From Student Information Systems (SIS) to donor management platforms, we build technical teams for organizations that serve our communities.

Every dollar wasted on bad code is a dollar taken from the cause.

In the non-profit and education sectors, technology isn’t a luxury, it’s the backbone of operations.

But generalist agencies don’t understand your constraints. They send you expensive contractors who don’t care about the mission. STACK IT finds engineers who understand that efficiency, longevity, and data security are what keep the doors open.

Nurturing the Donor Journey.

For clients like Nature Conservancy, data drives donations. We recruit CRM specialists and data analysts who turn messy donor lists into actionable insight so you can reach the right supporters at the right time.

Key Technologies:
Salesforce (NPSP) Raiser’s Edge Microsoft Dynamics SQL Tableau
Recruiter Insight
“We look for data cleanliness obsession. A developer who allows duplicates in a donor database costs the organisation credibility. We vet for that level of detail.”

The Digital Campus.

For Anderson College and Devry, the product is education. We place LMS administrators and full stack developers who keep the virtual learning environment accessible, reliable, and tightly integrated with student information systems.

Key Technologies:
Moodle / Canvas / Blackboard PHP Python SIS Integrations WCAG Accessibility
Recruiter Insight
“Accessibility is non-negotiable. We test candidates on WCAG standards to ensure learning portals are usable by every student, regardless of ability.”

From Legacy to Cloud.

Many non-profits still rely on aging infrastructure. We find IT managers and system administrators who can lead the migration from on-premise servers to secure Microsoft 365 and Azure environments without disrupting day-to-day operations.

Key Technologies:
Microsoft 365 Admin Azure Non-Profit SharePoint Network Security
Recruiter Insight
“We value generalist specialists. In a smaller NPO IT team, you need someone who can fix the Wi-Fi and configure the Azure firewall. We look for that hybrid profile.”

Engaging the Community.

For member-based organisations like Girl Guides, the website is the community hub. We place web developers who build secure member portals, event registration flows, and content-rich experiences that keep people coming back.

Key Technologies:
WordPress / Drupal React PHP Stripe / Moneris (Payments)
Recruiter Insight
“Security matters here. Member portals often hold personal data for minors. We vet for secure coding practices and OWASP awareness to protect your community.”
