THE RIGHT PEOPLE CHANGE EVERYTHING.

Founder-led recruitment for businesses that care who they hire, not just how quickly they hire.

Start a Search

Fewer clients. Deeper searches. Better hiring decisions.

We intentionally work with a select number of clients so every search gets our full attention. When you partner with Headhunters Canada, you work directly with Gregg or Veronica from the first conversation through to placement. No junior handoffs. No volume game.

Work Directly With the Founders

The people who understand your mandate are the people running your search.

Search Beyond the Job Boards

We identify and approach strong candidates whether they are actively looking or not.

A Shortlist, Not a Stack

We focus on presenting the right people, not the most people.

How We Help

Direct Placement

Full-cycle recruitment for permanent hires across functions and seniority levels. We define the requirement, search the market, assess candidates and deliver a carefully selected shortlist.

Strategic Talent Search

A deeper, research-led search for critical, complex, confidential or hard-to-fill roles. This can include executive search, but the approach is determined by the importance and complexity of the mandate, not the seniority of the role.

Fractional Talent Partnership

Experienced recruiting and talent support embedded within your business, without the overhead of a full-time internal talent function.

If the hire matters to your business, we want to understand it.

How We Work

Understand

We go beyond the job description to understand the business, team, challenges and what success actually looks like.

Search

We map the market, engage active and passive candidates and carefully assess fit before making an introduction.

Hire

We present a focused shortlist and stay involved through interviews, references, negotiation, offer and onboarding.

The people you meet are the people doing the work.

Our philosophy is simple: reconnect talent with humanity. In a hiring world increasingly driven by systems, automation and AI, we believe the best decisions still come from real conversations, genuine understanding and staying close to the work.

Dedicated Services


Strategic Talent Search

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

Some hires are too important, too sensitive, or too difficult to run through a standard process. Strategic Talent Search is our research-led approach for confidential searches, hard-to-fill positions, and critical hires where the cost of getting it wrong is high. The level of seniority is less important than the stakes involved.

What Makes This Different

Senior Attention on Every Search

Every mandate is led directly by our founders. No account-manager handoffs, no junior recruiters. You work with the people accountable for the outcome.

Access Beyond the Applicant Pool

The strongest candidate for a complex or confidential role is rarely on a job board. We proactively identify and engage people who aren't actively looking, giving you access that a posting won't reach.

Strategy Before Search

We define what success looks like in the role before we start looking for the person who can deliver it. That clarity shapes the search, the outreach, and the shortlist.

Our Search Process

Mandate Definition

A thorough briefing on role scope, success criteria, team context, and compensation.

Market Mapping

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

Outreach & Engagement

Direct, discreet outreach to qualified candidates. We represent your opportunity with care.

Assessment

Structured conversations, competency review, and cultural alignment evaluation.

Shortlist Presentation

A focused shortlist of qualified, interested candidates. We don't send resumes. We present candidates.

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 organization is ready for a full-time talent leader, but that doesn't mean hiring should run on instinct. HHC's fractional model gives you experienced recruitment support on a flexible basis, embedded in your team and aligned to your priorities.

Is This Right for You?

Scaling Quickly

You need to hire well, not just hire fast. We bring structure and market intelligence to a process that can go sideways under pressure.

Entering a New Market

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

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 build the foundation before you hire full-time.

What This Looks Like in Practice

Act as your senior talent advisor and hiring lead

Align hiring strategy with business priorities and culture

Work directly with your hiring managers on every search

Source, assess, and vet candidates across all levels

Provide market intelligence on compensation and candidate availability

Support onboarding and integration through to day one

Engagement Models

Part-Time Retainer

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

Project-Based

Defined scope, timeline, and deliverables for a specific hiring initiative or market entry.

Interim Support

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