How we build a shortlist

Vetting that goes beyond the résumé.

Every Toronto placement is backed by our 90-day guarantee and a contract backfill promise. 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 Toronto.

Toronto has the deepest tech talent pool in the country, so the challenge is rarely finding candidates, it is moving fast enough to land them. The tightest searches are senior product engineers, data and AI specialists, and security talent, where strong people field several offers at once. We recruit proactively so you are not starting cold against that competition.

Generally yes. As the largest hub, Toronto sits at or near the top of our Canada-wide salary bands, especially for senior and specialized roles where demand concentrates. We benchmark every search against recent placements so your offer is competitive without overpaying for tenure alone.

Yes. A large share of Toronto tech hiring sits in banking, fintech, and insurance, where regulatory exposure, data controls, and delivery under audit matter as much as the tech stack. We screen for that financial-services context, not just the tools.

Speed and framing. You will typically see a first vetted candidate within 24 to 48 hours, and we help you present the full offer, base, growth, and flexibility, so strong candidates do not drift into a competing process while you deliberate.

Permanent hires are success-based: you pay only when someone starts, with no upfront fee, backed by our 90-day guarantee. Contract runs on a transparent hourly rate. We will walk you through the specifics on an intro call.
