Testimonials

I relocated from New Brunswick to Ottawa to find more job opportunities. I signed up with In-TAC, hoping to bypass the online job application process, and get direct access to hiring managers. In-TAC has a good relationship with many small / medium local businesses, and this helps quickly match employers to candidates. The first employer they referred me to, offered me a full-time job. I would highly recommend In-TAC. You never need to worry about the quality of their services, just rest assured, follow the steps, and you will reach your goal.
