Executive search built around your business.
Replacing a founder-CEO. Hiring a first CFO ahead of a raise or a sale. Building a leadership team after an acquisition. A senior hire carries more weight than any other, and the search should reflect that.
We start by learning the business. Its stage, its board, its culture, and what this leader must deliver in the first year. Every part of the search is built around that brief.
You work directly with our founder from the first call to the signed offer. Trusted senior specialists from our network support larger mandates.
C-suite and VP leadership.
The fit is strongest for venture-backed, private equity-backed, and growing mid-sized companies.

Common questions
How is executive search priced?
Full searches and market mapping are each priced per mandate. Both are agreed in writing after our first call.
Can we start with market mapping and add the search later?
Yes. Many companies start with a map, then decide. The mapping work carries straight into the search.
Who works on the search?
Candice leads every search personally. On larger mandates, trusted senior specialists from our network support the work.
Where do you search?
Across Canada and the US.
Is the search confidential?
Yes. We sign confidentiality terms before you share details, and we can run fully confidential searches, including when you are replacing someone.
Discuss a senior hire.
Twenty minutes about the role, the timing, and whether a full search or a market map fits better. We sign confidentiality terms before you share any details.
