Toronto's AI hiring market in 2026 is unlike anything we've seen in 20+ years of IT staffing.

The salaries are climbing. The talent pool is the 4th largest in North America. And the gap between the companies hiring well and the ones still struggling has never been wider.

Our latest blog breaks down the 8 AI roles dominating the market right now, what's actually working in 2026, and why most generalist recruiters keep missing the mark.

If you're scaling an AI team, this one's worth your time.

Live Assets is currently working on a range of IT roles across Toronto and North America, full-time, contract, permanent, remote, and hybrid.

Whether you're a developer, engineer, architect, analyst, or IT leader, there's a good chance we have something that fits.

Not actively looking but open to the right opportunity? That counts too. The best conversations we have are often with people who weren't planning to move, until something genuinely better came along.

Here's a number that should make every business leader pause:

In 2022, there were 60,000 fractional executives operating across North America.
By 2024, that number had doubled to 120,000.
In 2026, demand for fractional CIOs, CTOs, and CISOs specifically is up more than 40% year-over-year.

This isn't a fringe movement anymore. It's a structural shift in how mid-market companies access executive technology talent, and the businesses paying attention are putting former Fortune 500 CIOs in their boardrooms for a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.

Our Founder & CEO Olga Fragis just published a no-nonsense breakdown of what's driving the trend, when fractional makes sense (and when it doesn't), and what to look for in the right engagement.

If you're leading a mid-market company in 2026, this one's worth your 9 minutes.

Is your company exploring fractional leadership?
Curious to hear what's working, and what isn't

Fractional CIOs, CTOs, and CISOs: The 2026 Shift - Live Assets Blog Fractional CIOs, CTOs, and CISOs are reshaping mid-market technology leadership in 2026. Live Assets breaks down what's driving the trend, and when it's the right call.

Most leaders treat an unfilled IT role like an inconvenience.

It isn't.
It's a quiet financial drain on the business.

The numbers from 2026:

→ The average unfilled position costs $4,129 over a 42-day vacancy
→ Revenue-critical roles can cost $7,000–$10,000 per month
→ Tech roles take a median of 48 days to fill — 26% slower than other industries
→ Teams under sustained staff shortages have 37% higher turnover (Gallup)

The vacancy doesn't just delay your roadmap. It burns out the people you already have.
And when they leave, you're not filling one role, you're filling three.

Waiting for the "perfect" candidate isn't saving you money.
It's costing you it.
