Who we are
We've been in the IT business since 2007, but if you were to ask our CEO, Wim, why he started this journey, he'd tell you it was because he always wanted to create a place where work could actually be fun—a company with a great culture, amazing people, no bureaucracy, and zero toxic relationships. Kerkhoff Technologies, Inc., Crafty Penguins, and TopLeft are three unique companies with different specialties, yet we're all united under one banner: the Culture Core Group.
Today, we have a diverse team of 50+ employees and contractors spread across Canada (and beyond!). And even with our growth, maintaining a strong, positive culture is still at the heart of everything we do. It's an exciting time for us as we continue to grow, explore new ways to strengthen our culture, and build teams that truly thrive together.
So if you're looking for an opportunity where you can do meaningful work, learn new things, make an impact, and grow along the way—you've come to the right place. We can't wait to hear from you!
Why work here?
At the Culture Core Group, we believe in helping our employees do meaningful work by getting the right people in the right seats – helping people achieve their Highest And Best Use (HABU©).
When you join our team you'll experience a one-of-a-kind technology company that values relationships and people at every level – employees, clients, vendors and our community. Whether it be age, gender, race, culture or thought – we enjoy diversity and we welcome it!

what we offer
Remote First
You don’t need to be in an office building to do your best work. All our employees are fully equipped to work remotely and yet collaborate perfectly with their teams.
Healthcare
Our employees have access to medical, dental, and vision insurance for themselves and their dependents. In addition to great healthcare coverage, we also offer all employees mental health resources and a flexible health spending account. All this is at no cost to our employees.
Flexible Hours
We’re BIG on flexible working and its benefits because we want our people to be successful and bring their best selves to work.
Retirement Planning
We encourage our employees to save for retirement by matching their contributions to group retirement savings plan (RRSP). This means when you put aside money for your retirement, we also add money towards your retirement.
3 Weeks Paid Vacation
We are committed to the overall well-being of our employees. Our employees receive 3 weeks paid vacation right at the start of their employment. No need to wait for a year to go on that much needed break.
Learn and Grow
How can we help build and grow great teams? Our development programs are focused on professional and personal development and growth. Learning and Development is one of our core values.
