Reconnecting Talent With Humanity


The Boutique Advantage

We're a founder-led search firm, which means you work directly with the people who built this business. Every mandate gets our full attention, from first brief to final placement. We believe in quality over volume, and in doing this work the way it should be done.

For Employers

The right hire changes everything. We make sure you get it right.

We partners with organizations of all sizes who know that the wrong hire is expensive in more ways than one. Our founder-led approach means every mandate gets senior attention, from the first conversation to the final offer.

How We Help

Direct Placement

Our core service. We manage the full search, assessment and placement process for permanent hires at any level. You receive a carefully selected shortlist, not a pile of CVs.

Strategic Talent Search

A focused, research-led search for complex, confidential or hard-to-fill roles. This includes executive search when required, but applies to critical hires at any level, not just leadership.

Fractional Talent Partnership

Experienced hiring support without the overhead of a full-time talent leader. We embed directly in your team, guide your hiring managers and keep the process moving.

How We Work

Discovery

We take time to understand your business, your team, and exactly what you need. Not just the role, but the context around it.

Search & Vetting

A targeted search that includes passive candidates, with thorough assessment and reference validation before anyone reaches your desk.

Placement & Beyond

We stay engaged through offer and onboarding. A good placement is the beginning of a relationship, not the end of one.

How can we help you hire?

Get in Touch




Strategic Talent Search

For roles where getting it right matters more than getting it done quickly.

Some hires are too important, too complex or too sensitive to run through a standard process. Strategic Talent Search is our research-led approach for roles that require a deeper level of rigour: confidential searches, hard-to-fill positions, critical hires where the wrong decision is costly, and executive search when the situation calls for it. The level of seniority is less important than the stakes involved.

What Sets Our Search Apart

Founder-Led, Hands-On

Every search is led personally by our founders. You get senior attention from start to finish, not a handoff to a junior recruiter.

Strategy-First Approach

Before we start looking, we invest time understanding what success actually looks like in this role, and why previous approaches may not have worked.

Access to Passive Talent

The right person for a complex or confidential role is rarely on a job board. We reach them through direct outreach and networks built over years of relationship-focused work.

Genuine Human Connection

We're straight with you and straight with candidates. No spin, no overselling. Just honest conversations that lead to better outcomes.

Our Search Process

Mandate Definition

A thorough briefing on scope, success criteria, culture, and compensation.

Market Mapping

We map the talent landscape and identify target candidates, including those not actively looking.

Outreach & Engagement

Direct, discreet outreach with a genuine human approach.

Assessment

Structured conversations, competency review, and cultural fit evaluation.

Shortlist Presentation

A focused shortlist of qualified, interested candidates with full profiles.

Offer & Integration

Support through negotiation, reference checks, and onboarding.

Have a complex hire on your hands?




Fractional Talent Partnership

All the hiring expertise. None of the overhead.

Not every company is ready for a full-time talent leader, but that doesn't mean hiring should be left to chance. HHC's fractional model gives you experienced recruitment support on a flexible basis, embedded in your team and working alongside your people. We handle the hiring so you can focus on the business.

Is This Right for You?

Scaling Quickly

You're growing fast and need to hire well, not just hire fast. We bring structure and strategy to a process that can easily go sideways under pressure.

Entering a New Market

You're expanding into new territory and need someone who knows how to find the right people in unfamiliar ground.

Backfilling a Key Role Quietly

You need to replace a critical hire discreetly, without disrupting your team or signalling instability.

Building Your Talent Function

You don't yet have a dedicated HR or talent leader and need someone to lay the groundwork before you hire full-time.

What We Do as Your Fractional Partner

Align hiring strategy with your culture and priorities

Work directly with your hiring managers

Support onboarding and integration

Source and vet candidates across all levels

Engagement Models

Part-Time Retainer

A set number of days per week or month, ongoing. Good for sustained or recurring hiring needs.

Interim Support

Full coverage during a transition, a leave of absence, or while you search for a permanent hire.

Let's talk about what you need.


Who We Work With

Recruitment built around your business — not a database.

We work with a select group of clients at any given time. That's intentional. It means you get direct access to the people running your search, not a rotating cast of account managers. We take the time to understand your business before we start looking for candidates.

Our Clients

Growing Organizations

Companies building their teams, entering new markets, or adding specialized expertise. We scale our support to match where you are.

Leaders & Business Owners

Decision-makers who need a recruitment partner who understands culture, capability, and long-term fit. We lead the search so you can stay focused on running your business.

Established Enterprises

Organizations with complex hiring needs who want a boutique alternative to large agency recruitment, with senior-level attention on every mandate.

What to Expect from our Team

Confidentiality First

Your search is handled with complete discretion. We never share your information without your explicit consent.

Honest Counsel

We tell you what we know, what we don't, and what we think. Even when it's not what you want to hear.

Real Market Intelligence

We share what we're seeing out there: compensation trends, candidate expectations, and what's actually driving decisions in the market right now.

A Relationship, Not a Transaction

We're in this for the long term. Many of our client relationships span years and multiple searches.

Start the Conversation

Whether you have a role to fill or just want to explore what working with HHC looks like, we're happy to talk. We respond to every inquiry personally.

About Us

A boutique search firm built on relationships, rigour, and straight talk.

Headhunters Canada was founded on a straightforward belief: that recruitment done well is one of the most valuable services a firm can offer. We exist to reconnect talent with humanity, helping organizations find the people they need to grow.

Our Philosophy

We work with fewer clients so we can serve each one properly. Great recruitment comes from genuine connection, real understanding and a commitment to getting it right.

The People Behind Headhunters Canada

HHC is founder-led. When you work with us, you work directly with Gregg and Veronica.

Gregg

Founder & CEO

I came up through professional basketball, playing in Canada and France, which taught me a lot about discipline, performance, and what it takes to build a winning team. I spent years at The Speakers Bureau of Canada as VP, matching thought leaders with the right audiences and developing a strong instinct for recognizing talent. That's what I bring to HHC: a genuine ability to read people, build relationships, and make introductions that actually stick.

Veronica

Founder & COO

My background is in business transformation, IT strategy, and building high-performing teams from the inside out. I've led organizations through growth, change, and market expansion, and I understand what it takes to find the right person for a role that's still evolving. I'm drawn to the complexity of leadership hiring, and I believe the best placements happen when you take the time to understand both sides of the equation.
