There's a serious lack of talent

We have dozens of open positions we can't fill.  We interview almost ever day - hundreds of candidates a year.  We simply cannot find enough good people nor can anybody else.

It's a sellers market if you're in IT - i.e., if you're skilled, you can literally get the pick of any job you want.  

If you can't find a job in IT you either live in the wrong area or simply don't have the chops.  There are thousands of open positions posted in Ontario right now.
