Priscilla Poirier

With over 10 years of industry experience in IT recruitment, Priscilla began her recruitment career focusing on clients in the financial services sector, including some of Canada's big five banks. Throughout her journey, she has enjoyed diversifying her skill set, evolving into a generalist in human resources, financial services, and technology.

Today, Priscilla's passion lies in helping clients hire exceptional technology leaders, typically at the management level and above. She prioritizes partnership with her clients, working closely with them to understand their unique needs. This hands-on approach allows her to support not only leadership recruitment but also to assist with hiring in other areas of the business.

In recent years, Priscilla has discovered a rewarding niche in representing not-for-profit clients. She is inspired by individuals who seek to make a positive impact and support meaningful causes. Contributing to their missions excites her, and she is committed to helping them find the talent they need to succeed.

"Priscilla was hands-down the best experience I have ever had with the recruiting industry. Priscilla's standout quality in our conversations was her incredible professionalism, and in particular, her approach to communication. At no point did I feel that there was something for Priscilla to gain from our relationship--I felt like she was out to help me, and genuinely so. She worked after hours, negotiated persistently on my behalf, and was always available for correspondence. She neither contacted me too frequently, nor infrequently, and was humble in all her insights. In this aspect, she was truly a Goldilocks."

“Priscilla has a great level of energy and keeps constant communication with me. She is very much on the ball and it is not so common anymore to find recruiters that truly put in an effort day by day to truly make a placement happen and at the same time be able to balance a good relationship with both the candidate and client. I truly enjoy partnering with her as a candidate and it's double the pleasure because it is through IQ PARTNERS!”

"Priscilla provided very professional service, was very friendly and understanding, and did a great job. I had two 'ongoing' job processes, and one of the reasons I chose my current contract position was the service that IQ PARTNERS provided. Special thanks to Priscilla and Judy, who helped me a lot during all the steps before and after I got the job. They are still helping me now with any questions I may have. I think we have a good connection and hope to continue to work with IQ PARTNERS in the future."
