Recruitment Manager, STACK IT Recruitment
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.
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.
The local market
The IT hiring landscape in London.
London offers strong, loyal talent at a better cost than the GTA, but the senior pool is smaller, so reach matters.

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.
