Recruitment Manager, STACK IT Recruitment
Why STACK IT
Recruiting built for Cambridge.
A generic shortlist wastes time on people who have never touched a plant. We send candidates who have, fast.
We know the Cambridge market
Cambridge's best tech hires understand the plant floor as well as the stack. We screen for people who have actually run automation, systems, and infrastructure in industry, not just studied it.
Offices across Ontario
Toronto, Mississauga, and Ottawa, covering the province for on-site, hybrid, and remote roles.
Wired into local talent pools
We reach the passive Cambridge candidates who never touch a job board, not just the active applicants everyone else sees.
Built for retention
Our process reduces turnover and protects you from costly rehires, with every permanent placement backed for 90 days.
The local market
