Big news! Starting on May 29, 2023, Stafflink will take a giant leap forward in the evolution of their brand.

We’re thrilled to announce that the entire Stafflink organization has officially joined forces with our national team of IT recruitment specialists to become Altis Technology.

Working as ONE team and ONE brand, together we will place even more tech candidates in meaningful IT/IM roles from coast to coast.

Since December 2022 when this acquisition was complete, we’ve been working diligently as a team, taking extra time and care to ensure a seamless transition for Stafflink’s clients, candidates and team members. Now, we’re excited to propel our unified team forward with renewed energy and a deeper network of resources.

“The tech landscape is evolving, and so are we,” says Kathryn Tremblay, CEO and Co-Founder, Altis Technology and Altis Recruitment. “Joining forces with the Stafflink team and building upon their solid foundation feels like the right step forward for Altis Technology. We’re proud to grow and evolve alongside their awesome team. Our values and ability to collaborate have aligned from the day we met.”

“My entire staff is thrilled to make this move,” says Tim Collins, Founder, Stafflink. “The Altis team has been consistently welcoming and is so like-minded in their vision—integrity and purpose are present throughout the organization. Joining a large, national firm like Altis Technology means we expand our reach and boost our ability to attract and engage even more top IT talent.”

“The expertise that the entire Stafflink team brings in staffing technical roles is a game-changer for us,” says Irfan Ahmed, VP of IT Growth & Strategy, Altis Technology. “Their experience will not only help us cater to the diverse needs of our private-sector clients but will also boost our impact and ability to serve clients in the federal and provincial governments as well. I’m excited about future growth possibilities and confident that, working together, we’ll be well-equipped to deliver solutions that align with the evolving demands of our industry.”
