The Spark:
Our Tech-Obsessed
Co-Founder
It all began with our co-founder, Toni Guimaraes, who was the original spark that ignited our IT division. Toni loved all things tech —gadgets, systems, and new technologies—and at first, was the only one dedicated to IT staffing.
As demand quickly grew, he and Kathryn Tremblay — his life partner and our CEO — saw an opportunity to create an entire IT division to support the ever evolving technology landscape.
Expanding
Nationwide
Since 1989, we’ve steadily expanded our IT division, role by role, province by province, keeping pace as new tech trends emerged, connecting talent with opportunity nationwide.
And every step of the way, our focus has always been on the people we serve: clients and candidates.
Today, we place thousands of innovative IT candidates in top private and public sector roles across Canada every year. You could be next!
Recipe For Success
Our guiding principles are so much more than just catchy titles. From our recruiters to our leaders, we incorporate these values into everything we do, so we can better serve our clients and candidates, and help each other achieve our career goals.
Our Community
Giving Back Impacts All of Us
We work to reduce systemic barriers to employment faced by many underrepresented groups in our society, so everyone has equal opportunity to succeed. Beyond our day-to-day work, we also give back to our community by supporting a range of charities that are near and dear to us, organizations that help raise the tides for all.

Prostate Cancer Awareness
During hockey season, we organize Toni’s Hockey Pool, in memory of our late Co-Founder Toni Guimaraes. To date, we’ve raised over $145,000 in support of Advanced Prostate Cancer research.

Christie Lakes Kids
Every summer, we fund two cabins at Christie Lakes Kids’ camp so that twelve children can develop the skills and confidence that only camp can provide. This is a tradition close to our founders’ hearts.
