Engagement models

Six ways to work together.

From a single senior contractor to a full project squad — pick the model that fits your problem, not ours.

Contract staffing

Senior contractors on T4 or incorporated, with all the Ontario compliance handled for you.

Contract-to-hire

Try-before-you-buy engagements with clear conversion terms and zero conversion fees after month six.

Permanent placement

Direct-hire searches for engineering, data, security, and product leadership. Replacement guarantee.

Executive search

Confidential, retained searches for Director, VP, and CxO technology roles across Ontario.

Payrolling / EOR

Bring-your-own-contractor. We handle compliance, payroll, T4A/T4, and WSIB — you keep the relationship.

Project teams

SOW-based delivery squads for time-boxed initiatives — discovery, MVP, modernization.

Why xTier

Staffing that respects everyone's time.

Senior-only bench

We don't pad shortlists. Every candidate we send has shipped what you're hiring for.

48-hour shortlist

First slate inside two business days for most contract roles. Faster than your job board will fill the JD.

Transparent pricing

Flat markups, no hidden margins, and direct conversations about rates with both sides.

Ontario compliance, built in

Licensed THA, WSIB, classification reviews, and ESA-compliant contracts on every engagement.

Long-term relationships

Most of our placements come from repeat clients and referrals. We earn the next call by showing up on this one.

Built by operators

Our recruiters have shipped code, run platforms, and led teams — they speak your engineers' language.

We had three contractors on the floor inside seven business days — and every one of them was someone we would have hired permanently. That's not a normal staffing experience.
