How did we become Canada’s leading recruitment agency?

It might have something to do with our ability to identify smart people—a highly refined skill that comes from interviewing thousands of candidates a year. Or that we don’t just advertise your position - we proactively recruit superstars. Or the fact that 97.1% of clients and candidates rate our professionalism and industry knowledge as above average or outstanding. Either way, we hope you’ll give us a chance to show what we can do for you.

Global Executive Recruiter

I often tell people that they can do pretty much any search in the world - any function, any location - because their expertise in recruiting and their willingness to get out there and dive into unknown territory is so impressive. I'm a big fan of IQ PARTNERS... Thanks for everything!

Matt Oliver
VP, East Coast Sales, Grapeshot

IQ PARTNERS came highly recommended to us and it's clear to see why. Rhys was professional, highly responsive and immediately understood what we required. We were presented a great collection of candidates and were able to make a successful hire seamlessly. True industry leaders and looking forward to working together again to expand the team.

Sam Duboc

We hired IQ to do a very difficult and, at the time of hiring them, under defined search for a Chief Innovation Officer/Chief Disruptor. IQ helped us define the search and then literally found the "needle in the haystack". In addition to a good outcome, they were professional and responsive.

The circumstances of COVID-19 continue to evolve. Although this may change the way we operate internally, we will continue to deliver best-in-class recruitment services, both in the current climate and in the event of further escalations and disruptions. We will continue to treat people with care and with empathy in these trying times.

For our Clients: All of our consultants have the flexibility and technology necessary to serve you regardless of location. Out of caution, ‘in-person’ interviews have been suspended and will now be conducted via video.

For our Candidates: Most of our clients are still proceeding with their hires. While some of their search timelines will slow-down, most will continue. Either way, we’ll do everything we can to keep you in the loop.

AT IQ PARTNERS we’re committed to working closely with our clients and candidates through this extraordinary time.
