Executive Recruiting
Your next great hire, in 45 days or less.
We’ve placed 500+ leaders for growth-stage companies across Atlantic Canada and beyond. We don’t send you stacks of resumes. We send you 2–3 candidates who are genuinely right — and we back every placement with a 90-day guarantee.
Your competitors post job ads. We pick up the phone and call the people you actually want — many of whom aren’t actively looking.
85% one-year retention because we assess culture, motivation, and fit — not just credentials.

We meet every candidate, assess how they lead, and match them to how your team actually works.

What you need to know.
Our average time-to-hire is 45 days from engagement to accepted offer. However, this varies based on role seniority, market conditions, and your specific requirements. We prioritize quality over speed while maintaining efficiency.
We focus on relationship-based recruiting rather than transactional placements. We take time to understand your company culture, not just the job requirements. This results in better cultural fit and higher retention rates.
We primarily work on retained search for executive and leadership roles, ensuring dedicated focus and resources. For select roles, we offer contingency arrangements. We'll discuss the best model for your specific needs during our discovery call.
While we have deep experience across multiple sectors, we specialize in placing leaders in technology, professional services, and growth-stage companies. Our network spans C-suite executives to VP-level positions.
We offer a 90-day placement guarantee. If a candidate doesn't work out within this period due to performance issues, we'll conduct a replacement search at no additional fee. Our 98% success rate means this rarely happens.
