**TSR OVERVIEW**

The IT industry is full of job postings where the employer decides everything (i.e. type of clients, type of services, type of skills, hourly or annual pay rate, work schedule, location, holidays, etc.). We are taking the opposite approach - where the TSR decides everything. You can work from home on an independent contractor basis, beginning with hourly gig work in your spare time. Choose the services & skills you’d like to provide, as well as your preferences for providing them (i.e. remote or on-site; hourly or monthly; small or large projects; short-term or long-term contracts; temporary or permanent placement; availability & work schedule; hourly or annual pay rate; preferred city; etc.). Furthermore, you can update your services, skills and preferences whenever you wish (as you obtain new certifications, gain new work experience, or fine-you’re your desired career path). As demand grows for your services & skills (and depending on your performance), you’ll have the option of transitioning to part-time or full-time service calls, projects or contracts; or a temporary or permanent placement. You will also have the option of traveling or relocating to other cities as the Company expands; and you can decide your own holiday schedule. Our Company believes that allowing TSRs to have full control over their services, skills and preferences is the best way to build a team of TSRs that LOVE what they do and are more likely to go the extra mile for clients.

**NOTE TO INDPENDENT CONTRACTORS w/ CLIENTS**

If you’re an independent contractor and are turning down IT projects from your clients because you don’t have the time, skills or team, we have a solution. Join our team as a TSR and you’ll never have to walk away from an IT project again. Simply appoint yourself as the “Lead Contractor” (to protect your relationship with your client) and IT-Specialists.ca will handle everything else. We will assemble a team of TSRs to complete the project on your behalf; prepare the contract for your client; and manage the entire project from beginning to end. Even if you’re too busy to participate, you can accept the projec
