STEP 01
ID verification
Candidates self-verify with a government-issued ID before we go any further. It is the step that catches the identity fraud the contract market has been fighting for the last three years.
Why Agility
Our recruiters are the techies.
A software developer hires a software developer. That has been the rule since day one, and it is the reason we get called on the roles that have already been out to three other suppliers.

Company snapshot
Boutique on purpose.
Agility IT Inc. is a 100% women-owned, minority-led Canadian technology talent and consulting firm, licensed in Canada and the United States. We stayed small deliberately, because the model only works when the person who takes your requirement is the person who screens the candidate.
What we do
Specialist technology recruitment across contract, permanent, fractional and subscription models, plus a consulting division delivering managed services in niche platforms.
Where we operate
Calgary (headquarters) and Toronto in Canada, New Jersey in the US, Bengaluru in India. Onshore, nearshore and offshore delivery teams in India, the Philippines, Brazil and Mexico.
Who we serve
Banking and financial services, energy, public sector and enterprise technology, directly and through partner channels across Canada and the USA.
How we are different
AI-assisted sourcing paired with vetting by technical subject matter experts, under one accountable account team.
Quality control
The FTS methodology.
Five steps, every candidate, every time. Seniority and urgency do not buy an exemption.
STEP 02
Resume check
Employment history and credentials validated line by line. Certifications are confirmed against the issuing platform rather than taken on trust from a PDF.
STEP 03
Right to represent
Written consent before any submission. You never see the same person from two suppliers, and the candidate always knows where their profile has gone.
STEP 04
Background check
Criminal record checks and reference verification through HireRight or Sterling BGV, matched to your client-site compliance requirements.
STEP 05
CASL-compliant outreach
All candidate communication complies with Canadian anti-spam legislation, with consent records held against every profile in our database.
The difference
An agency fills a role. A partner protects a roadmap.

For candidates
We look after people after the placement, not just up to it.
Confidential search
Your profile does not move without your written consent, and it never goes to two suppliers at once. Discretion is the baseline, not a favour.
Interview preparation
Coaching, briefing notes and honest feedback on where a client tends to push. You walk in knowing what the conversation is going to be about.
Talent Care
Aftercare calls once you are on assignment, and an account manager who deals with timesheets, onboarding and the awkward stuff so you can do the work.
Our people
Meet our core team.
A small, senior team that stays close to every client and every candidate.
