Our whole business comes down to one
fundamental goal: providing exceptional talent
to further our clients’ success.

It’s everything to us — and you, too, we assume. It’s also the hardest part to talk about without resorting to well-worn phrases like “trusted advisors” and “passionate advocates” — even when, in our case, they happen to be true. So rather than try to explain what great relationships are, we put our energy into building them.

WE’RE CLOSE TO MONOGAMOUS: Or maybe a better way to put it is we prefer to work with one client per industry, so you can count on our undivided focus and absolute discretion.

THIS IS NOT A JUGGLING ACT: We take on a limited
number of assignments to ensure we always deliver exceptional service.

YOU WORK WITH BOTH PARTNERS: We collaborate on every assignment, so you get twice the brainpower — from two people who appreciate the priorities of senior leadership.

WE’RE ON THE RIGHT FREQUENCY: We understand your objectives, your concerns and the demands on your time. Just as importantly, we speak the same language as
senior-level candidates, who look to us for insight and advice on potential career moves.

YOU HAVE OUR FULL ATTENTION: We deliver the kind
of direct, personal service that traditional players often find they can’t afford to provide on a consistent basis.

More than 40 years, if you do that thing where you add
the partners’ experience together. However you add
it up, we have a solid track record of placing senior
executives in leading organizations. Our firm combines
a few key strengths:

WE HAVE BREADTH: experience with both boutique and global search firms, as well as in client-side HR roles and executive coaching.

WE HAVE DEPTH: substantial experience in financial services, consumer-focused enterprises and professional services — in Canada and overseas.

WE HAVE QUICK REFLEXES: We’re flexible in meeting your needs and agile when those needs change, even if it happens overnight.

WE HAVE A POINT OF VIEW: We’ll tell you exactly what we think, based on our experience and expertise. And we won’t shy away from saying things we feel you need to hear, even when you may not be thrilled to hear them (though we’ll try to say them as tactfully as possible).

From our search methodology to the high-calibre
people we put forward as candidates, the common thread in everything we do is excellence.

OUR RIGOROUS RESEARCH: We drill down far, guided by the partners’ research expertise, and we only surface when we have a long-list of outstanding breadth, diversity and quality.

OUR ROBUST ASSESSMENT PROCESS: We probe deeply
and leave no stone unturned. Drawing on both partners’ extensive training and experience in assessment, we look far beyond a candidate’s record of performance to gauge
fit from every angle, including leadership, team-building, cultural alignment and long-term potential.

RARE OFF-LIMITS RESTRICTIONS: Unlike large firms, we have the broadest possible access to potential executive talent. And we take full advantage of it on your behalf.
