IT/IQ Tech Recruiters

Operation surprise Joe was a sweet success 🍪

Thank you to for helping us create the perfect treat to commemorate Joe’s 10th work anniversary.

Congratulations to Marc and Alessandro from our Toronto office for going above and beyond and receiving this glowing review from their candidate, Ramya G. 🌟

🌟 Everyone, meet Nishi, our proposal specialist 🌟

Nishi joined the team in March and brought with her a wealth of technical recruitment and proposal writing experience. After working as a technical recruiter for over three years and moving into proposal writing within a technical agency for another three years, she easily integrated into our proposals team from day one.

Here’s to Nishi’s wins to date and her continued successes as she exercises her expertise in the proposal space at IT/IQ.

We’re lucky to have her!

Cheers to Rachel and Erik for earning praise from a senior technology professional! We’re all about fostering strong relationships and effective communication here at IT/IQ. 🌟

Happy Mother’s Day weekend to all the moms (especially our HR and Talent acquisition manager, Carmen)! We admire and celebrate everything you do to make the world a better place 💐🫶

Who doesn’t love an Easter Egg (Gift Card 🤑) hunt?

We’re wishing everyone a happy Easter long weekend!

You didn’t think we forgot, did you??? 🍀

We hope everyone had a festive St. Patrick’s Day, but especially the Irish!
