Navigating Your Tech Career with Querentia in 2026

Staffing agencyCanada querentia.com

Querentia is a Canadian staffing and recruitment agency specializing in Information Technology, software development, and business services. We bridge the gap between technical talent and employers through targeted placement and professional training. The most important thing to know is that we prioritize long-term skill alignment over simple resume matching.

Who pays Querentia

Paid by the employer, not by you.

Querentia earns a fee from the company that hires you, usually a share of your first-year salary or a margin on your contract rate. Their client is that company.

What that means for you

Expect roles that fit their open vacancies before roles that fit your plan. Ask which company a role is for before your CV goes anywhere, and apply direct where you can.

What sectors and roles does Querentia focus on?

We concentrate on the Canadian technology landscape, specifically supporting software engineering, IT infrastructure, and business service operations. Our placements range from junior developers and support staff to specialized technical leads. By focusing on these specific verticals, we maintain deep connections with employers who require precise technical skill sets and industry-specific certifications.

Where you meet

How does the staffing process work for candidates?

Our process begins with a technical screening to understand your specific stack and career goals. Once we identify a potential match, we present your profile to our employer partners and facilitate the interview process. We act as your advocate, providing feedback from the client and negotiating terms once a mutual interest is established.

What should I expect during the engagement?

Expect a transparent communication cadence where we update you only when there is a concrete development regarding an opportunity. We do not require exclusivity, as we believe you should have the freedom to explore the market. Our services are entirely free for candidates, as our fees are covered by the hiring organizations we represent.

Your side

How can I get on Querentia's radar?

To stand out, ensure your resume highlights specific technical projects and the tools you utilized to solve business problems. Submit your profile through our portal with a clear summary of your preferred tech stack and desired work environment. Mentioning specific certifications or training programs relevant to Canadian IT standards will help our recruiters categorize your profile more effectively.

Is Querentia the right fit for my job search?

Querentia is an excellent fit if you are a technology professional seeking roles within the Canadian software or business services sectors. If you are looking for roles outside of IT or require immediate, high-volume placement in non-technical fields, you may find better success with a generalist agency. We are best suited for candidates who value a consultative approach and long-term career development.

How to work with Querentia: candidate playbook

  • Highlight specific technical stacks and certifications clearly at the top of your resume.
  • Update your profile whenever you complete a new training course or technical project.
  • Be transparent about your salary expectations and relocation preferences during the first call.
  • Maintain a professional LinkedIn profile that mirrors the technical skills listed on your resume.
  • Ask your recruiter for specific feedback if you are not selected for an interview.

Frequently asked questions

Does working with Querentia prevent me from applying to jobs directly?

No, you are free to apply to other roles independently. However, please inform us if you have already applied to a specific company so we can avoid duplicating your submission and causing confusion for the hiring manager.

What happens to my personal data after I submit my resume?

Your data is stored in our secure candidate database and is never shared with third-party employers without your explicit consent for a specific role. We adhere to Canadian privacy standards to ensure your professional information remains confidential.

How should I follow up if I haven't heard back after an interview?

We recommend waiting at least one week before reaching out for an update. When you do follow up, send a brief email to your primary recruiter referencing the specific role and the date of your last interaction.

Can I request that my profile not be sent to certain companies?

Absolutely. You have full control over where your profile is submitted. If you have a conflict of interest or a previous negative experience with a specific employer, simply let your recruiter know during your initial intake.
