“Hiring a senior specialist in Canada takes three months. We get you one in 48 hours.

— THE FIFTH ADVANTAGE
The Problem

Local talent is expensive. Offshore talent is a risk.

Canadian salaries are unsustainable

A senior designer in Calgary costs $95K base, plus benefits, equipment, software, taxes. You're at $130K all-in for one head — before they've shipped a thing.

Hiring takes 90+ days you don't have

Posting, sourcing, interviewing, onboarding, ramping. By the time they're productive, the campaign you needed them for is six months in the past.

Offshore freelancers are a coin flip

Quality varies wildly. Communication breaks down. Deadlines slip. And when something goes wrong, you have no recourse — just a vanished Upwork profile.

Our Model

Stop hiring full-time.
Start scaling on demand.

FIFTH places vetted, English-fluent specialists into your team in 48 hours — managed by us, branded as you. Designers, developers, marketers, VAs, ops. Pay per seat, scale up or down monthly, billed in CAD.

01.

Vetted talent, on-brand

Every specialist goes through a 3-stage vetting process. English-fluent, portfolio-reviewed, reference-checked. They work under your brand or ours — your call.

02.

Onboarded in 48 hours

From brief to starting work: 2 business days. We handle the contracting, equipment access, software provisioning, and intro calls. You just send the first task.

03.

Managed by FIFTH

We handle performance reviews, training, leave coverage, conflict resolution, replacements. You manage their work; we manage their employment.

04.

12+ specialist roles

Full-stack developers, UI/UX designers, motion designers, content writers, paid ads specialists, SEO specialists, video editors, VAs, project managers — all available.

05.

Scale up, scale down monthly

Need 3 designers for a quarterly push and 1 the rest of the year? Done. Pause a seat for a month? Done. Monthly billing, 30-day notice on changes.

Case Study · Marketing Agency · Toronto

How a Toronto agency tripled delivery capacity in 90 days — without hiring a single FTE.

A growing Toronto marketing agency was turning down work. They had the leads but not the bandwidth — and every Canadian designer they interviewed wanted $90K+ base. We placed 5 white-label specialists into their team in under 7 days: 2 designers, 2 developers, 1 paid-ads strategist. All worked under the agency's brand directly with their clients. Within 90 days, the agency tripled delivery capacity, signed $1.2M in new annual contracts, and never had to navigate a single Canadian hiring cycle.

FAQ

Common questions

What roles can I hire through FIFTH?
Currently: full-stack and front-end developers, UI/UX designers, motion designers, paid ads specialists, SEO specialists, content writers, video editors, virtual assistants, social media managers, and project managers. New role categories added quarterly.
Where are the specialists located?
Primarily South Asia and Eastern Europe — vetted for English fluency, time-zone overlap with North America, and proven portfolio work. Every specialist is interviewed in English by FIFTH before being shortlisted to you.
Can they work in our existing time zone?
Yes. We match specialists to your working hours. Most clients require 4–6 hours of overlap with Calgary/Toronto/Vancouver time. We handle the scheduling so you don't have to.
What if a specialist isn't the right fit?
Tell us within the first 30 days and we replace them at no cost. After 30 days, you can request a replacement anytime with 14 days notice. We absorb the recruiting and onboarding cost for the new seat.
Do they work directly with our clients?
If you want. Many agency clients have specialists work directly with end-clients under the agency's brand (white-label). Others have specialists work only with the internal team. Your call, set on day one.
