About Datalist Datalist is a full service IT staffing company, locating skilled contract and full time professionals for Canada’s leading employers. Our experience now extends deep into every major IT-intensive industry:
We opened for business in 1983, before the first desktop computer ever booted up. Datalist has grown up with the industry, evolving with its rapid changes but preserving our original business model based on personal service. Our experience has shown that characteristics such as attitude and integrity are just as important to a successful placement as qualification and experience. Today’s typical Internet-based career services usually bypass all this vital intangible information, dramatically decreasing the chances for successful fit. Datalist gets to know each contractor and candidate we recommend to our clients through a structured series of interviews and ongoing communication. Our pre-screening process is deliberately intensive and thorough, because the resulting knowledge enables us to recommend the ‘right’ person for each position. That’s the key to our success.

Datalist understands the benefits of strong relationships with our candidate clients. We can provide exciting opportunities that will interest you, challenge you, and advance your career. For IT professionals who love the freedom and diversity of contract work, we have developed specialized services to support your success. For example, Datalist will help new contractors establish a solid independent business. At no charge to you, we offer introductory meetings with our associated chartered accountant and insurance professional to plan the structure and operation of your consultancy. Then we go to work for you, finding opportunities that match your interests and expertise. Our objective is creating partnerships that allow you to earn satisfying compensation for a job well done in all respects. We pursue these win-win situations by presenting you for well-matched contracts with a high chance of success.
