What we offer

Contract or permanent, Canadian or local. We get you the talent you need.

Canadian Contractors

Senior Canadian contractors for your US positions

Canadian engineers and technical specialists work your hours, in your tools, on your Slack. Same time zones as US Eastern to Pacific. No offshore lag, no overnight gaps, no management overhead.

The cost advantage is real. Canadian technical talent at materially lower rates than US equivalents — typically 25 to 35 percent. And 4FMV handles all cross-border compliance, employer-of-record setup, payroll, and tax. Nothing lands on your HR or legal team.

We call it Sameshore. The cost advantage of a global talent market without any of the friction.

  • Senior technical contractors only — no junior placements
  • Candidates presented within 24 to 48 hours
  • 25 to 35 percent lower cost than US equivalents

US Contract Searches

US contract searches

Need a contractor based in the US? 4FMV runs US contract searches with the same process and the same standards we apply to every search. Senior talent only, screened before presentation, candidates on your desk within 48 hours.

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.

What's included

  • US-based contract talent sourced for your specific role
  • Senior candidates only, screened by 20-plus year veterans
  • Candidates presented within 48 hours
  • Transparent pricing — you see what we charge
  • 4FMV manages the process from brief to placement
US Permanent Searches

US permanent placements

4FMV runs retained and contingency searches for permanent hires within the US. We source and screen US-based candidates with the same rigour we bring to every search.

Note: due to visa restrictions, Canadian talent cannot be placed permanently in the US. Our permanent search offering sources US-based candidates only.

What's included

  • Retained or contingency search — your preference
  • US-based candidates sourced and screened
  • Senior roles only
  • Transparent process and pricing throughout
  • 4FMV manages from brief to offer
How it works

From search, to placement, through the contract duration.

No complexity on your side. We handle everything. Here is what the process looks like for Canadian contractor placements. US contract and permanent searches follow the same steps.

1

Share the role

Send us the job description or describe what you need. Fifteen minutes on a call works too.

2

We source and screen

We present qualified candidates — typically within 24 to 48 hours. Senior people only. No filler.

3

You interview and decide

Your process, your call. We coordinate everything and give you honest input if you want it.

4

We handle all compliance

Contracts, payroll, tax, and compliance — handled by us regardless of where your contractor is based. Nothing lands on your HR or legal team.

5

Your new hire starts

They are on your team, working your hours, in your tools. We stay in the loop for the life of the engagement.

Why 4FMV

We understand the US market because we work in it.

4FMV's president worked inside the US market at Monster.com in San Francisco. We have been placing contractors and permanent hires across the border since our founding in 2009. We know what US hiring managers expect — and we know the Canadian talent market well enough to find exactly who you need.

Transparency

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.

Accountability

We do not disappear after the placement. We stay in contact throughout the engagement and we are straight with you if something is not working. That is how ten-year client relationships get built.

A team built to serve you better.
