Why STACK IT

Recruiting built for London.

In a tighter market, a generic job post gets you the same few active applicants as everyone else. We reach the people who are not looking, fast.

Three candidates. None wasted.A calibrated shortlist built for your team and the London market, typically within five business days.

We know the London market

London's senior talent pool is smaller than the GTA's, so the win comes from reach, not volume. We tap the Western pipeline and the professionals who chose to stay, and know who's open to a move.

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 London 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.

How we build a shortlist

Vetting that goes beyond the résumé.

Every London placement is backed by our 90-day guarantee and a contract backfill promise, and screened for fit that lasts, not just the right keywords. Hover any step for detail.

Compensation storytelling

We evaluate how candidates weigh an offer and help you position total value, not just base.

In a market where top candidates hold multiple offers, we surface what actually moves them, equity, growth, flexibility, so your offer lands the first time.

Project retrospectives

Candidates walk us through real ownership on the kinds of projects you run.

We probe for decisions, trade-offs, and outcomes, not buzzwords, so you can see how they’ll think on your systems before they ever interview.

Team-based reviews

Every shortlist is reviewed by more than one recruiter for alignment and quality.

A second set of eyes catches gaps a single recruiter might miss and keeps our bar consistent, which is why you only ever see three candidates worth your time.

FAQ

Common questions about hiring in London.

You will typically see a first vetted candidate within 24–48 hours and a calibrated shortlist within about five business days, drawn from the Western pipeline and the local professionals who chose to stay.

The senior pool is smaller, which is exactly why reach matters. We work the passive market and the Western alumni network rather than relying on whoever happens to be applying.

Permanent hires are success-based: pay only when someone starts, backed by our 90-day guarantee. Contract is a transparent hourly rate. See bands in the 2026 Salary Guide.
