A staffing firm that became an engineering company.
We've sat on the hiring side of the table — reading padded resumes, re-running failed searches, onboarding contractors who vanished at 5pm. Sunshift is the company we wished had existed.
Open Source Talent opens in Edmonton.
An IT staffing firm built on an unfashionable idea: vet every candidate like you'll have to work beside them. Contract and permanent placements across Canada, engaged mostly on the roles other agencies couldn't fill.
The pod model.
Clients kept asking for more than seats — they wanted things shipped. Sunshift was built for that: senior LATAM engineers in small named pods, a North American PM, and a written spec that the invoice answers to.
One company.
Open Source Talent joined Sunshift. Same team, same vetting bar, one brand — and every engineer we place now carries the whole system with them: the AI playbook, the mentorship cadence, the staff-level review.
Today.
Three ways to engage — spec-driven pods, embedded engineers, and permanent placements — for startup and mid-market teams across the US and Canada. Six hours of shared daylight, every working day.
