Executive search and leadership hiring across Canada
Canadian scaleups compete for the same leadership talent as US companies, usually with tighter comp envelopes. That makes assessment, positioning and speed the deciding factors — which is where I focus.
What shapes leadership hiring in Canada
- Toronto and Vancouver lead technology and financial services leadership hiring.
- Several US mandates on my board accept candidates based in Canada, which widens options for Canadian executives.
- Bilingual (English/French) leadership hiring in Quebec needs a different candidate pool and messaging.
Sectors I search in
- AI and enterprise software
- Financial services and fintech
- Healthcare and life sciences
- Clean tech and industrials
Compensation
Canadian bands typically sit below comparable US roles in absolute CAD terms; I benchmark against both markets so offers stay competitive against cross-border interest.
