I recruit tech people.

Software engineers, engineering leaders, DevOps. Mostly in Canada. I've recruited tech people since 2018, and at GuruLink since 2026.

If you're hiring, tell me what you need. If you're looking, tell me what you want to work on next.

Check your role and city

I make free tools.

I build them with AI on the side. (Most of them work.)

  • Lineup

    A hiring tracker that runs in your browser. No account. Your data stays on your computer.

  • Salary data

    What tech roles pay in Canada, by role and city. 2026 numbers, sources cited.

  • Templates

    Scorecards, job descriptions, interview questions, offer letters. Copy one and change what you need.

I talk about it.

  • Pay

    What tech jobs in Canada actually pay, and why a posted range closes roles faster.

  • Hiring speed

    The "hell yes" is always fast. Slow processes lose good people to other offers.

  • AI in recruiting

    Where it saves time in hiring and where it gets in the way.

"Having a defined process from the beginning, and doing your best to stick with it, is important."

Me, quoted by Arizona SHRM, August 2024

Canada Job Market 2024-25, a video interviewYouTube. I still haven't watched it.

Podcast, panel or conference? Message me on LinkedIn with the date, the audience and the topic.

I also test recruiting and AI tools before they ship. Unpaid, my own opinions.

I write things.

1.5M LinkedIn impressions in under a year. The $180k post did 640K of it.
