LEADERSHIP RECRUITMENT for the TECHNOLOGY INDUSTRY
I help technology companies find great leaders who grow businesses.
Mike Fox
Wouldn’t it be great if:
You could improve your recruiting effectiveness and make fewer hiring mistakes
Your recruiting efforts generated a steady flow of great leadership candidates
You had a more efficient interview and screening process that didn’t waste Manager’s time
You could gain insights which would improve employee retention
You could close more candidates that you were hoping to hire
Then let’s talk.
I Can Help You:
Recruit the exact right candidate
Through a well-proven recruiting process I’ll find the exact individual that fits you and your team. You pay only if you’re 100% satisfied.
Improve your hiring effectiveness
If you’re looking to see more suitable candidates, reduce your recruiting costs, and spend less time interviewing the wrong individuals, we should discuss my Talent Improvement Process.
Why Mike?
You won’t be handed off to a junior recruiter who works in the background. I’m with you throughout the process, providing feedback and useful ideas to improve your hiring effectiveness.
No delegating to unknowns. 30 years of experience and contacts at your service to provide the broadest pool and the insights on candidates with the best ‘fit’ and the right amount of ‘grit’.
My retention rate is unrivalled.
I’m totally transparent with both candidates and clients about the good aspects and possible challenges in the job opportunity. We discuss the work culture, and the make-up and dynamic of the management team and peers. Candidates and clients appreciate this honesty, and with that knowledge they stick. Everyone knows what they’re getting into.
My specialty is working with smaller tech firms who don’t have a large presence in the marketplace.
Most of my clients struggle to get noticed. They require a different reach into the market, and a different way to present themselves to candidates. I help you with your value proposition, the clarity of your company brand, and clarify what makes you unique will attract the the right type of candidates.
My honesty and experience is appreciated by both parties. You can see this on the testimonials highlighted. It’s a niche I’m proud of.
My knowledge and insights from 30 years of recruiting will help you save money, improve your recruiting, and make fewer hiring mistakes.
I have knowledge which will make a difference
I work on an exclusive contingency basis.
You pay only when you’re 100% satisfied.
I continue to support the successful candidate though their first six months on the job.
The attributes that you’re looking for when hiring a leader for your company are the same attributes that you’re looking for in a recruiting partner.
That is:

driven
Insightful
and a high EQ

The Best Ways To Remain Focused While Working Remotely
I think it’s clear at this point that remote work is here to stay. The pandemic has changed the nature of work for many of us, and made working remotely a norm across many industries throughout Canada. If your team works remotely, then each one of them has found themselves, at one time or another, struggling to motivate themselves to work. It’s really an inevitability of the situation: it takes a lot of work to go to work when you don’t need to leave the house…
Retention Is On Everyone’s Mind
Throughout Canada, there are countless stories of leaders being recruited at salaries that are absurdly high. These are prices that their present company simply can’t match to retain some of their most talented employees – so, what can these companies do if matching the salaries and signing bonuses is not an option? There are a number of ways to encourage retention…
The War for Talent is Over. And the Candidates Have Won!!
Let’s face it. As a Canadian tech firm, chances are you are not going to be able to compete for talent with the major international players on cash, stock, and signing bonuses. Moreover, the dollar exchange and free Canadian medical care make us a hugely attractive recruiting pool…
“Mike provides a personalized approach, remarkable persistence, and a genuine understanding and caring for our business. It would be remarkable if other recruiters could match their process and result.”
