Senior engineers across enterprise IT

Staff Augmentation.
Without the hiring cycle.

We place senior engineers across the full range of enterprise IT, from web, cloud and QA through to data and security. That includes the niche skills that are hardest and slowest to hire for locally. Canadian contract, weekly or monthly billing, and most placements start within two to three weeks.

Niche skills we are asked for most often
The problem

A platform req takes three months to fill. Your roadmap does not wait.

Certified platform people are scarce in Canada and priced accordingly. By the time a posting clears approvals, screening, interviews and notice period, a full quarter is gone.

The usual workaround is a staffing agency, which gets you a résumé and a markup, but nobody accountable once the person is in the seat. If it goes wrong, that is your problem to manage.

We do it differently. You get the specialist, and you also get a named delivery lead on the Canadian side whose job is to make sure the engagement works.

What we staff

Where the demand concentrates

These are the skills clients ask us for most, not the limit of what the network covers. Every profile is screened by someone who has run delivery in that area. Certifications where the platform requires them, real project history in every case.

How it works

From first call to first sprint

1
Tell us the gap
A 30-minute call. Platform, seniority, how long you need someone, what your team already has.
2
We come back with profiles
Fast for the skills we keep on the bench. For the niche ones we are drawing on partners across five countries rather than one recruiter's contact list, so the search starts wide. We will tell you on the call which of the two you are dealing with. Real project history, not keyword-stuffed résumés. If none of them are right, we say so and go back out rather than pushing you to settle.
3
You interview
Your process, your bar. We do not sit in unless you want us there.
4
They join your team
Your repo, your standups, your sprint cadence. A named Canadian delivery lead stays on the engagement for the duration.
Two ways in

How we take the risk off you depends on the skill.

Most of the risk in hiring offshore sits in the first month, before you know whether the person is any good. We handle that two different ways, and which one applies comes down to whether it is a skill we keep staffed.

On the bench
Try before you pay
Full-stack web, Java, mobile development and similar mainstream engineering work. We keep people staffed in these, so we can usually put someone on your backlog within a week at no charge, and you judge the output instead of the paperwork. Two conditions: the person has to be free when you ask, and there needs to be a real medium or long-term need behind it. We are not set up to run trials for one-off tasks.
Sourced for you
Screened past the CV
ServiceNow, Liferay, SAP and the rest of the platform work. Nobody keeps a bench for these, so we go and find the person, and what you are really buying is the screening. That part has quietly broken across the industry: CVs are AI-written now, so every candidate reads as a perfect match and the document tells you almost nothing. Ours sit through a technical conversation with someone who has delivered on that platform before the profile ever reaches you.
The terms

What you are actually signing up for

Senior people only. We do not bill junior profiles at senior rates, and we do not swap people out quietly once an engagement starts.

A Canadian contract. The MSA is with XShorify Canada Inc. Canadian entity, Canadian billing, and paperwork your procurement team already knows how to process.

Weekly or monthly billing. Short cycles, no long lock-in. Start with one person for a few weeks if that is what makes sense, and scale up once it works.

NDA and IP protection included in every engagement, at no extra cost.

On-site if you ask for it. Remote is our default model. For long-term engagements we can arrange for your engineer to travel and work from your offices for a period, which tends to help most around onboarding or a major release. Ask on the call and we will tell you what is workable.

We stay in it. A placement is not a seat we fill and forget. Someone on our side follows the work, and when something starts drifting we raise it with you rather than waiting for you to notice. We are here for the engagement that runs for years, not the one that gets filled this month.

Real time-zone overlap. Our delivery teams work a shifted schedule to hold four or more hours against Eastern Time. Standups happen with your team, not in a report the next morning.

On cost

Why we quote per role instead of publishing a rate card

A senior ServiceNow or SAP specialist in Toronto or Montreal costs well into six figures before benefits, and contractor day rates run higher still. Offshore placement through our network lands at a meaningful fraction of that.

We do not publish the number, because the honest answer changes with the platform, the seniority, and how long you need the person. A rate card would either overquote the simple engagements or underquote the hard ones.

Tell us the role on a call and you will have a number the same week.

Common questions

Before you book a call

How fast can someone realistically start?
Two to three weeks for bench-ready skills, assuming your interview process moves. Niche platform skills take a little longer because we are sourcing, though running that search across a network in five countries rather than one market shortens it considerably. We give you a realistic date on the call instead of an optimistic one, and after that the pace is usually set by your interview process rather than ours.
What if the person is not working out?
Tell your delivery lead early. We are not running a model where we fill a seat and move on, so someone on our side is following the work and will usually have flagged a problem before you raise it. Where a change of person is genuinely the answer, we make it. Most of the time it is something else, and a swap just resets the ramp-up you already paid for.
Who am I contracting with?
XShorify Canada Inc., registered in Quebec. One MSA, one invoice, one point of accountability. The engineering is delivered through our partner network, and that relationship is ours to manage, not yours.
Where do the engineers sit?
Depending on the platform and the skill: India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Argentina or Turkey. Argentina and Turkey are the nearshore options, sitting in North American and European working hours. We will tell you which on the call, and you can decline a geography if your compliance rules require it.
Do I have to commit to a minimum term?
No. Billing runs on a weekly or monthly cycle and renews on its own. Most engagements grow because they are working, not because a contract requires it.
What does the free trial actually involve?
One week, no charge, and nothing to sign, on skills we keep on the bench: full-stack, Java, mobile and similar. You brief the engineer, they work real tickets, and you decide at the end of it. Two conditions apply. The person has to be available when you ask, and there needs to be a genuine medium or long-term need behind it. We will sign an NDA first if you want one in place.
What if the skill I need is not on your bench?
Then we source it, and that covers most of the platform work: ServiceNow, Liferay, SAP and similar. There is no free trial on those, because nobody has those people sitting idle. What you get instead is screening that goes past the CV. Every shortlisted candidate has already been through a technical conversation with someone who has delivered on that platform.
Can the engineer work from our offices?
Remote is our default, but yes, it can be arranged for long-term engagements. We organise the travel so your engineer works from your offices for a period, which usually pays off most during onboarding or ahead of a major release. We handle it case by case rather than as a standard part of the model, so raise it on the call.
Can you handle a whole team rather than one person?
Yes, and that is where this usually ends up. Most clients start with one or two specialists and expand once the working model is proven.

We will come back with profiles and a number. No commitment, and no sales sequence afterwards.
