Nearshore staffing in Alberta

• Calgary, AB

  Time zone: Mountain Time

  Calgary is the head-office city for much of the country's energy sector, and around it has grown a broad base of engineering firms, transportation and logistics companies, agribusiness, financial services and a newer wave of tech start-ups. When activity picks up, everyone is suddenly looking for the same project coordinators, accountants and technical staff.

  Nearshore hiring gives you a steadier way to grow. Your new teammate is vetted, dedicated to your company and online for your full Mountain Time day, so you can add capacity without a long local search.

• Edmonton, AB

  Time zone: Mountain Time

  Edmonton sits at the centre of the province's energy and petrochemical industry, and it's also the provincial capital, a major healthcare and university hub, a supply base for the North and home to a well-regarded AI research community. Construction, trades and logistics firms fill out the picture. Each of them leans on a solid back office that is hard to staff quickly.

  That's where a nearshore hire helps. We find people who handle the coordination, accounting, scheduling and support work, on your schedule and dedicated to your team, so your local staff can stay on the work only they can do.
