Hire exceptional leaders
We persuade the best talent to join your organization. Build the dream team that will bring your vision to life.
Exceptional leaders are rare, in high demand and already employed.
You can't build a high-performing organization with leaders who lack stature. And every hiring mistake comes at a price: in money, in time, in momentum.
You've decided to entrust your search to a firm? Excellent decision. Here are the questions to ask before making your choice.
At many firms, the mandate sold by a partner is carried out by juniors. Ask who will approach your candidates: persuading a leader who is already in a role takes experience and credibility.
Every mandate is led from start to finish by a senior headhunter, who personally interviews candidates for management and executive positions.
It's impossible to represent an organization well without knowing it.
A one-hour needs assessment, often with several stakeholders, sometimes including a visit of your facilities. In the market, we speak on your behalf.
Receiving résumés is not the same as assessing people.
Every candidate we present has spent 60 to 90 minutes in an interview, including an assessment of behaviour and cultural fit with your organization.
A poorly supported candidate drops out along the way, and it's your reputation that suffers.
Every candidate is supported from the first call to the signed offer, as an extension of your organization.
Some firms go back and recruit, from their own clients, the candidates they placed there.
Your people are protected.
A firm that believes in its placements guarantees them. Ask about the actual terms.
Every hire is guaranteed for a minimum of 6 months, and for certain categories of positions, the guarantee may be longer. If needed, we restart the search at no cost and with the same speed.

Before we start the search, we work with you to pinpoint the profile that will truly make a difference.
We approach exceptional leaders wherever they are.
We persuade them to consider your opportunity.
From the initial needs assessment all the way to their integration into your organization.
You recruit an exceptional leader once, and they create value for years. That's why our clients entrust us with their most critical positions, and entrust us with them again.
Surrounding yourself with the best should never be a compromise.
Let's talk about your needsEvery search is unique: the level of the role, its scarcity and the support you need all affect the investment. What we can tell you is that our clients come back, because the value created by the right person far exceeds the cost of recruiting them. Let's talk about your position, and you'll have a clear proposal within the first few days.
All positions that involve management, from supervisors to senior executives, in almost every field. We also fill certain high-level professional positions.
Every hire is guaranteed for a minimum of 6 months, and for certain categories of positions, the guarantee may be longer. If the person leaves or is not the right fit during that period, we restart the search at no cost and with the same speed.
When the situation requires it (a replacement in progress, a reorganization), we conduct the search with complete discretion. Neither your organization nor the position is disclosed until the candidate has reached the appropriate stage of the process. If needed, stricter measures can be added, such as having candidates sign a confidentiality agreement.
In 93% of our searches, candidates are presented within 5 weeks of the needs assessment, and 90% of positions are filled from the first three candidates. Then allow about a month for your internal selection process, followed by the candidate's notice period with their employer, usually one month. In total, plan for 3 to 4 months between the needs assessment and the start date, where the industry often plans for 6 months or more.
We have offices in Québec City and Montréal, but our searches take us wherever our clients need us: across Québec, Canada and internationally.
