Ottawa IT Consulting Firms

(Looking for a job? See our Job Search page for more information.)

Ottawa has many fine IT consulting firms in the Ottawa/Gatineau region, probably more than is needed for the region. Below is a list of some of the IT consulting companies that we have dealt with in the National Capital Region of Ottawa, Ontario Canada. Names of contacts for some firms are included if I have meet or worked with them. Only companies that have impressed me the most make it to this list.

This is not necessarily an endorsement of their services as your mileage could vary depending on the people you end up dealing with. If you don't see a particular firm in the list, it could mean that I haven't meet with them yet, that they haven't been very active in finding opportunities for me, or that I simply haven't had a chance to add them to my list yet. It should not be seen as an implication that there is anything wrong with them by any means.

If you've had a particularly positive experience with a specific firm, leave me a comment below. Be sure to include your real name and email address or your comment will be disregarded.

Did You know? Not all people have the same skills and level of interest in working with you. If you aren't getting a good feeling from the representative you are speaking with when you first call, don't assume that this is a reflection of the company. Take a chance and call back. Ask to speak with a different technical recruiter, maybe even their senior technical recruiter, resource manager or . A great relationship with these folks is crucial as they will in turn be marketing you to their sales team so you want the best person representing your interests.

Important Tip: Don't just send them your resume. Telephone them and arrange to go meet them in person for an information meeting to learn about their organization and the current state of the industry so that you can best position yourself to serve their needs. It's a lot easier to get an information meeting than an interview. Their goals are in alignment with yours. These people actually want to see you succeed because each time they place someone, they make money.

Remember, nothing will make as much of a difference as impressing someone in person the first time you meet them. Be prepared by doing your homework, knowing your resources and using them well.

I have work through them and receive regular inquiries from them. They seem to be a very decent company to work with. They have one of the simplest and most reasonable service agreements for consultants that I have seen to date. Although their terms of payment is 30 days, you will usually see payment within 7 days unless you don't submit your time sheet and invoice on time. They are super strict about this. If you are late, payment ends up being the full 30 days. They are a pleasure to work with.
