Grantham, a co-founder of Eagle in 1996, has played a significant role in Eagle’s substantial growth over the past 15 years. Starting as a small IT staffing company with three offices and 10 employees, Eagle is now a full service professional staffing company with 10 offices across Canada, over 90 employees. The company has also evolved its specialties to include Finance & Accounting, and Executive & Management Consulting in addition to IT.

This past year, Eagle reached two more milestones, recording annual revenues exceeding $100 million and all-time revenues of over $1 billion.
“I am honoured to be recognized on the PROFIT W100 ranking again this year,” said Janis Grantham, President and COO of Eagle. “Ten years on the list represent not one person but the ten years of excellence from a great team!”
