Technical Recruitment for Software Companies

Sage has been in operation for over 9 years working exclusively with Software start-ups and SMB's across Canada to fill Software Engineer and Engineering leadership positions. Our Founder has taken courses in Computer Science and the team is trained in technology every week by a local VP of Technology. Our founder Ashley Alfred does all technical interviews and we send only the most qualified candidates to our clients. Our typical roles include Software Developers (web, mobile), Software Architects, Product Designers and Product Managers, Software Automation Engineers, DevOps/SRE's, Cloud Engineers, Data and ML Engineers, Engineering Leaders and Executives.

How We Find Top-Talent:

Culture and Company

Our first priority is to get to know your business, culture and goals. We gain an understanding of the exact experience you're looking for and what would make this person successful in the role. Then, we spend days sourcing until we find the right fit.

Pre-screen

Once we find the right profiles, we pre-screen each candidate to figure out why they're looking for a move, what they're looking for and any other necessary info. If this aligns with our position, we do a resume walkthrough to ensure they're a fit. If it goes well, we tell them about your company and plan a second interview.

Second Interview

The second interview entails 3 parts: first, ensuring the candidates is truly interested in the position and company. Second, a technical interview with Q&A's that are recorded and sent to the hiring manager. Third, we confirm compensation again and discuss anything else pertinent to the role so nothing is missed.

Interview Process & Offer

We check in with you and the candidate at every step of the interview process to ensure the interest is there and everything goes smoothly. Once it's time to make an offer, we are hands-on with the candidate ensuring we get a signature. This is why our (offer) decline rate is under 10% three years in a row!

We help employers solve real hiring challenges

If you're not leveraging Ashley Alfred for recruiting tech talent, I don't know WHAT you are doing! Ashley pretty much built our founding team at Earthly and previously found us a key hires at ShiftLeft. She can find some really amazing talent in US and Canada. I had gone through tons of recruiters before Ashley, and nobody comes even close!

Working with Sage for the last two years has been a pleasure. Ashley is a mind reader! If I had the budget to do so, I would hire every single person she sends my way. She has helped me build several teams over the years and I am always happy with the quality of candidate she sends to me.

Alex Corotchi, VP Technology, Q4 Web Systems

Ashley is hands down one of the best recruiters I've worked with. All the candidates she sent were all pre-screened to ensure they are a great fit both culture and skill wise and I have full confidence in the candidates from her. Overall she's extremely pleasant to work with, with such a high degree of professionalism that I find to be very hard to match. I cannot recommend enough her and Sages' services as a recruitment agency.
