We are veterans
Veteran-owned. Veteran-operated. Built to execute.
Serving organizations from Ontario to the Maritimes since 2009.
Supporting veterans
Hiring and training people who have served
Service builds discipline, judgement and the habit of showing up. Those are hard to teach, and they are exactly what IT work asks for. We want to give veterans a way into this field.
Hiring
When we add people, we want to hear from veterans first. Time in uniform counts as experience, and we look at what you did, not only what is on a certificate.
Training
Technical skills can be taught. We want new people learning alongside working engineers on real client environments, with the support to get good at it.
Making the transition
Moving from service to civilian work is a job in itself. Talk to us about where your skills fit and what to learn next, even if we are not hiring that day.
Employers who hire those who serve
Have you hired veterans, first responders or reservists? We want to hear from you.
Organizations that give veterans, first responders and reservists a job, and the flexibility to keep serving, deserve to be recognized for it. If that is your company, we would like to know about it and find ways to give something back.
Tell us your story, and tell us where technology could do more for the people on your team who serve.
What we want to do
- Hear how you hire and support people who serve
- Share your story, with your permission
- Make IT work for team members who are on call or deployed
- Introduce you to other employers doing the same
From the field to founder
David Van Remortel
Canadian Armed Forces veteran: Armoured Corps, Reconnaissance. Founder and operator of Connex, serving organizations from Ontario to the Maritimes since 2009.
My professional foundation was shaped in environments where discipline, accountability and preparation weren't optional. They were expected.
That mindset carried forward into decades of designing, operating and advising complex IT environments for organizations that couldn't afford uncertainty, fragility or unnecessary risk.
Today my focus is simple: reduce cost and complexity, restore clarity, and build technology that holds up in the real world, not just on paper. Reconnaissance teaches you to read the ground before you commit. That is how every Connex engagement runs.
"We built Connex the same way we approached service: with accountability, mission focus, and a commitment to never leave a client behind."
David Van Remortel, Founder
Already have an IT team or a support provider? Good.
We're built to work with them. We bring the design and delivery capacity for projects that need it, and leave day-to-day support with the people you already trust.
