Canada IT Hiring Simplified: How We Helped a Toronto Tech Firm Hire 10 Developers Remotely

Client Overview

Our client is a growing tech startup in Toronto, Canada which we focus on custom software development and cloud based solutions. We have a team of over 150 employees which we use to serve clients in North America and Europe which primarily are in the fintech and e commerce sectors.

Hiring Challenges / Business Problem

The client was presented with a number of key recruitment issues which included:.

• Talent scarcity: As a tech company on the rise we had trouble finding quality developers in Toronto which is a very competitive tech job market.
• Remote hiring difficulty: The business grew it’s team fast and went after remote hiring but found they lacked the infrastructure and out of that experience also did not have the international hiring expertise to succeed in Canada and beyond.
• Lengthy hiring process: The issue we had was that the developer recruitment process was very slow which in turn caused project delays and affected business performance.

These issues were preventing our client from scaling quickly and to also grow into their expanding set of projects.

Our Recruitment Approach

To that end we put in place a custom virtual staffing solution which also incorporated strategic remote recruitment. We did:.

• Virtual Staffing Model: We assisted our client in the remote hiring of developers across Canada which in turn allowed them to access a larger talent pool and scale their team quickly without regard to geography.
• Targeted Sourcing and Screening: Through the use of both our local and global talent networks we identified outperforming candidates which had the right skills for software development, cloud infrastructure, and fintech applications.
• AI-Powered Candidate Matching: Through the use of advanced AI we improved the candidate selection process by which we put the right talent in the client’s hands thus improving the quality of our hires.
• Efficient Remote Onboarding Process: We have put in place a simple onboarding process for remote teams which includes provision of the right tools and resources to ensure easy integration with the client’s present structures.
• Timeline: The full recruitment process from search to placement was completed within 6 weeks which enabled the client to meet their development deadlines.

Results and Impact

Our solution resulted in significant positive outcomes for the client:

• Successful Hires: In just 6 weeks we were able to integrate 10 new remote developers, which met the client’s immediate staffing needs.
• Faster Time-to-Hire: The time to hire for developer roles we were able to cut in half from an average of 12 weeks to 6 weeks.
• Cost-Effective Solution: Through use of remote talent pools and improved hiring processes our client saw a 25% reduction in recruitment costs which we see as a success.
• Improved Development Speed: With our full team of developers in place the client saw a 30% reduction in project delivery timelines which in turn sped up time-to-market for key software solutions.

Client Testimonial

Working with Alliance Recruitment Agency was a game changer for us. We were in need of growth but did not have the right local talent. That’s when their virtual staffing service came in -- which also did remote hiring of talented developers for us and also enabled us to meet short turnarounds without trade off in quality. They also had an in depth knowledge of our issues and gave us exactly what we asked for.
