Public Sector Opportunities
We provide access to IT roles with the public sector including the Ministries, broader public sector (inclusive of government-connected healthcare and education organizations, among others), and Metrolinx, Toronto’s public transit provider. We additionally seek subcontractors on an as-needed basis for opportunities with private MERAK clients.
While the specific rates and duration of each position is subject to variation, these roles are typically contracted for around one year with an option for extension. We collaborate with contractors to determine a competitive and fair daily rate on a per-submission basis, so they can always be certain they’re well informed and receiving an offer that works for them.
