Tech recruitment Toronto. We place senior software engineers, full stack developers, and engineering leaders across Bay Street fintech, MaRS startups, and Toronto SaaS scaleups.
Velora Vice is a Canadian recruitment and staffing agency. We find, vet, and place software engineers across every experience level from junior to senior leadership. Canada and India talent pool. Permanent placement or contract staffing.
Permanent hires, contract staffing, contract to hire, or executive search. Whichever model works for your role, our process is the same. We source, vet, and present only candidates ready to interview.
We source, vet, and present pre interviewed senior engineers. You hire them as full time employees. No ongoing fees. One time placement fee, paid only when they accept the offer.
The engineer works for you full time but stays on Velora Vice payroll. We handle taxes, benefits, paperwork, and replacement. You get the flexibility of a contractor with the productivity of a full time hire.
Start with a contract, convert to a permanent hire after 3 to 6 months if it works out. Best for risk averse hiring teams or when fit matters more than speed. No conversion fee after the minimum contract period.
Retained executive search for senior leadership roles. We headhunt passive candidates from competitors and adjacent industries. White glove process, weekly progress reports, full slate of vetted finalists.
Six core role categories across every experience level. Every candidate we present passes a 3 stage internal vetting process before you see their resume.
Senior developers across the modern web stack. Strong in TypeScript, both frontend frameworks and Node backends. Production experience at SaaS, fintech, or enterprise scale.
Specialists in LLM integration, RAG, GenAI features, ML pipelines, and production AI work. Hands on with OpenAI, Anthropic, vector DBs, and modern AI tooling.

Computer science graduates and bootcamp completers with 1 to 3 years of hands on experience. Strong fundamentals, eager to grow. Best for teams with senior mentors who can guide development.

Every role we work on follows the same disciplined process. From first brief to signed offer takes 2 to 4 weeks on average. You only ever see candidates who have already cleared our internal bar.
30 minute intake call. We map the role, must have skills, nice to haves, comp band, team culture, and deal breakers. No vague job descriptions.
We pull from our network of pre vetted senior engineers across Canada and India, plus active and passive sourcing from LinkedIn, GitHub, and niche communities.
3 stage internal screening. Recruiter interview, technical assessment, reference check. We only present candidates who would pass your bar, not just ours.
You receive 2 to 4 finalist profiles with detailed notes on technical strengths, comp expectations, notice period, and our honest assessment. You decide who to interview.
We coordinate interviews, manage offer logistics, handle counter offers, and close the candidate. Paperwork, MSA, and onboarding ready on day one.
30, 60, and 90 day check ins with both you and the candidate. 90 day replacement guarantee if it does not work out. No questions asked.
Most offshore hires force your team to wake up at 6 AM for standups or wait 12 hours for an answer. We only present India based engineers who agree upfront to work shifted hours. You get 4+ hours of real time daily overlap with Eastern Time. Without anyone losing sleep.
That means same day code reviews, real Slack conversations, and the ability to actually pair program when stuck. Most clients tell us it feels like working with a Toronto based hire.
Most recruiters spray and pray. Send the same resume to 30 clients, ghost when there's a problem, push junior candidates with inflated titles. We're built differently.
Junior, intermediate, senior, or leadership. We recruit across all four tiers. Most of our placements are mid to senior, but we have proven track records at every level including executive search.
Recruiter screen, technical assessment, reference check. You never see a candidate who has not been pre interviewed by us. Expect 2 to 4 finalists, not 20 resumes.
We source across both markets. More candidates means better matches and better comp leverage. All India based engineers commit to shifted EST hours before we send them to you.
If a placement does not work out within 90 days, we refill the seat at no additional fee. We share the risk because we should not get paid if we got it wrong.
Canadian MSA, GST/HST invoicing for Canadian clients, USD billing for US clients. Easy to onboard through your procurement and AP team.
Permanent placement: you owe nothing until the candidate accepts your offer. Contract staffing: hourly rate, billed weekly, cancel anytime after the minimum term.

Velora Vice is a Canadian recruitment and staffing agency built for technology teams. We recruit and place senior software engineers, full stack developers, mobile developers, AI and machine learning engineers, cloud and DevOps engineers, and engineering leadership across every major Canadian tech market. Permanent placement, contract staffing, contract to hire, and retained executive search all under one roof.
Whether you need to hire a React developer in Toronto, a senior Node.js engineer in Vancouver, a mobile developer in Montreal, a DevOps engineer in Calgary, or a remote engineering team across Canada and India, our 3 stage vetting process and 90 day replacement guarantee mean you only see candidates ready to interview. We work with Canadian startups, mid market SaaS companies, digital agencies, and enterprises ranging from Series A through Fortune 500.
Junior developers (1 to 3 years of experience), intermediate developers (3 to 6 years), senior developers and tech leads (6 to 10 years), and engineering leadership including engineering managers, directors, VPs of engineering, and CTOs (10+ years). Most of our placement volume sits in mid to senior individual contributor and tech lead. Junior placements are available for teams with mentorship structure in place.
Most Canadian recruitment agencies source only domestic. Most offshore vendors source only India. We do both, which gives our clients access to a deeper candidate pool and better comp leverage. Every India based engineer we present commits upfront to working EST shifted hours for 4 hours of daily real time overlap with your Eastern Time team. Our Canadian incorporated agency means easy procurement, GST and HST invoicing, and Canadian law contract structure.
Most agencies optimize for volume of submissions. We optimize for quality of fit. Traditional Canadian IT staffing agencies send 10 to 20 resumes per role and let you sort through them. We pre interview every candidate, run a 3 stage internal vetting process (recruiter screen, technical assessment, reference check), and present only 2 to 4 finalists. You spend less time interviewing and more time hiring. Our placement fees are competitive (18 to 22 percent for permanent, hourly markup for contract) and our 90 day replacement guarantee shares the risk with you.
Tell us the role. We'll come back within 48 hours with 2 to 4 pre vetted candidates ready to interview. Permanent placement, contract staffing, or contract to hire. Your call.
