LeverageTek IT Solutions

Technology staffing and consulting in Canada's capital region

LeverageTek IT Solutions was founded in March 2003 and works from Ottawa, supplying contract and permanent staff and management consulting across North America. The company says its roots are in technology, which explains the name, but that it now also recruits for finance and accounting teams, sales and marketing, HR, supply chain and legal departments. It reports more than twenty years in business and hundreds of engagements with public and private organisations in Canada.

Staffing services

Its services page sets out the lines of work:

• Contract staffing: term-based expertise for temporary needs, on contract and contract-to-hire arrangements
• Permanent placement: a search process the firm says is tailored to each employer and reaches a hidden market of rising talent
• Executive search and talent mapping: aimed at leadership roles and organisational structure
• Contractor and payroll management: back-end support meant to save time and reduce risk
• Management consulting: help for an organisation, department or division to reach its goals
• Government services

Work for government

LeverageTek describes itself as a registered Government of Canada staffing and consulting provider that delivers on a task basis. It says it supplies consultants who match or exceed an organisation's requirements and fit its culture.

Sectors

Its client base is said to span universities, aerospace and aviation firms, banks, public bodies, health care, technology companies, the military and charities, which shows how widely the contract model is used. It argues that responsive service and delivering the right fit on time and within budget tends to lead to repeat engagements.

Community involvement

The company says it supports local and international charities through fundraising, monthly giving and volunteering.

For people seeking work, the site offers a job search and a section for candidates. The firm adds that it has simplified its back-end processes so that it can respond and adapt quickly to what a client asks for, and says it supplies and supports consultants throughout an engagement, not only at the moment of placement.
