The opportunity

Canadian contractors work your hours, on your team, at materially lower cost.

Canadian technical talent is not a compromise. The engineering and computer science programs at Waterloo, Toronto, McGill, and UBC are among the best in the world. The people we place have the same depth of experience, the same technical rigour, and the same professional standards as their US counterparts.

The cost difference is a market reality, not a quality signal. Canadian contractors typically run 25 to 35 percent less than equivalent US hires. They work your hours, in your tools, on your Slack. For your team they are indistinguishable from a local hire — except on the invoice.

We tell clients what contractors earn and what we charge. We tell contractors the same. Everyone in the transaction knows what the deal is — which still surprises people.

We source specifically for each role. We do not claim a bench of ready candidates. We find the right person for what you actually need — typically within 24 to 48 hours.

We stay in the loop for the life of the engagement. Not just until the contractor starts.

Canadian talent

World-class talent. A market that prices it differently.

Canada produces exceptional technical professionals across engineering, software, and regulated product development. Here is why the talent holds up.

Education

Waterloo, Toronto, McGill, UBC, and Queens produce engineering and computer science graduates who compete at the highest level globally. The programs are rigorous and the talent is deep.

Experience

Canadian technical professionals work across the same industries, the same technology stacks, and the same regulated environments as their US counterparts. The work is equivalent. The rates are not.

Availability

4FMV has been placing Canadian technical talent since 2009. We know this market well. We find qualified candidates within 24 to 48 hours because we know where to look and what good looks like.

Proof

Two proven placements. Two more since.

Both placements are with the same US engineering consultancy. They came back to 4FMV two more times after these. Repeat business is the most credible proof we can offer.

On repeat business: this client came back to 4FMV four times. Each time, candidates were presented within 24 to 48 hours and contractors were working within days. When clients trust that you are not squeezing them for margin, they feel comfortable telling you what they actually need. That is when real value gets created for both sides.
