About Company
About us
CORE is Toronto's premier IT staffing firm. Located in the heart of the financial district, we are a high touch agency that carefully selects only the top candidates in their respective areas of expertise. Let us prove to you that we are the best when it comes to IT resources. How are we different? The candidates we present to you are members of the CORE, which is an exclusive technology/business club, not an open database. Our recruiters receive training from SMEs in each field they recruit in, so they can filter out, not in. Only the best candidates become members of CORE. If you contact us, we'll show you exactly how we screen differently. Knowing our members on a deeper level not only helps with quality, but drastically improves turn around time. We provide profiles that fit your requirements within 48 hours and if it takes a little longer to scout our network for the right person for you, we'll keep you updated every step of the way. Contact us to see how 92 percent of our customers see profiles within 48 hours, 78 percent of our members presented are asked for an in-person interview and 86 percent of our members interviewed are offered positions.
