Senior IT staffing for banking, fintech & insurance

MapleFinIT provides architect-led IT staffing and recruitment to Canadian and U.S. financial institutions. Every engagement type — contract, contract-to-hire, or permanent — goes through the same rigorous four-stage technical screening process.

Engagement models

Three ways to engage — one standard of quality

Regardless of how you engage, every candidate is screened by a senior IT architect before you see them.

T4 or incorporated

Contract staffing

Short or long-term contractors placed against a specific role and timeline. Ideal for project-based capacity, specialist backfill, or time-bounded transformation programs.

  • Flexible duration — weeks to multi-year
  • T4 or incorporated contractor models
  • Screening included in the margin
  • Replace-on-notice SLA available
Trial before permanent

Contract-to-hire

Starts as a contract engagement with a defined conversion window — typically 3 to 6 months. Works on your team; converts to permanent if both parties agree.

  • 3–6 month trial window
  • Conversion fee applied on permanent hire
  • Candidate aware of conversion pathway
  • Standard contract terms until conversion
Fee on hire

Permanent placement

Full search and screening for direct-hire employees. We present a shortlist of 3–5 candidates and support offer negotiation. Fee charged on first-year base salary.

  • 3–5 architect-screened candidates
  • 60-day replacement guarantee
  • Offer negotiation support included
  • Average time-to-fill: 18–25 days

How we screen

Four stages. Every candidate. Every engagement.

Only the top 15% of sourced candidates reach your shortlist. The rest are filtered before they reach you, saving your hiring team significant time.

Stage 1

Recruiter screen

Work authorization verification, communication assessment, career alignment, and fit against the role brief.

Stage 2

Technical assessment

Real-world system design, coding, or architecture exercise calibrated to your specific role, stack, and domain.

Stage 3

Domain validation

Project walkthroughs and architecture deep-dives. BFSI context is verified against the candidate's actual project history.

Stage 4

Verification

Employment history, certifications, education, and reference checks. No shortcuts on senior placements.
