Exceptional Tech & IT Talent

Can Seem Like Mission Impossible

BOOK A CALL

My name is Linda MacNeil,

Director & Talent Advisor at Demand for HR

and I partner with IT and Engineering executives to rapidly assemble

high-performing teams, redefining how they attract, engage, and retain world-class talent without sacrificing an ounce of quality.

The demand for top-performing IT and Engineering talent continues to far outpace supply.

Executives are running into roadblocks, leaving mission-critical roles unfilled for far too long. The result? Slowed innovation, stalled projects, rising mis-hire risks, and the constant threat of disruption from more agile competitors.

The cost of these gaps is clear: missed deadlines, stagnant growth, declining performance, frustrated teams, and mounting pressure from stakeholders.

At Demand for HR, our promise is simple:

We partner with you to deliver championship-caliber IT and Engineering leaders and technical specialists who transform how your teams innovate, build, and deliver results. Whether through interim talent, specialized consulting, or permanent placements, we ensure you get the right people, fast and without compromise.

Are you an executive searching for IT and Engineering leaders

who can drive real transformation?


Or are you a high-performing professional ready to accelerate your impact

with the right organization?


Either way, let’s talk.

It could be the most transformational conversation

you’ve had in a long while.

I highly recommend Linda and DFHR. When I first moved to Canada, navigating the job market was incredibly challenging, but Linda and DFHR was instrumental in helping me secure my first role here.


She demonstrated exceptional professionalism and a deep understanding of the Canadian job landscape, took the time to truly understand my skills, experience, and career aspirations, and then effectively matched me with suitable opportunities.


Thanks to her dedication and expertise, I was able to successfully land my first job in Canada. I am incredibly grateful for their support and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking new career opportunities.
