We also acknowledge that Toronto, or Tkaronto, is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit.​

Griffith Group Executive Search is a privately owned Canadian firm that provides exceptional services to our valued clients. Focused on senior-level recruitment, our team partners with organizations across Canada to support their executive search needs. Our approach is encapsulated within our vision: "International Reach. Proven Expertise. Boutique Service." Griffith Group is known for our values of integrity, professionalism, and empowered innovation and our deep commitment to, and demonstrated results in, supporting Indigenization, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (I-EDIA).

It is within this context that Griffith Group Executive Search is seeking a senior executive search professional to join the team as Partner.

Reporting to, and working in close collaboration with, Managing Partner Jane Griffith, Partners at the firm are revenue generators whose salary are 100% commissioned based. We are seeking Partners who can build a portfolio of clients in a complementary sector, including but not limited to, healthcare, government, board work, and the private sector. Partners are responsible for creating lasting relationships with clients to support their executive search needs. Working with the firm’s team of dedicated search executives, the Partners oversee and have final responsibility for the search assignments they win. At Griffith Group, Partners are expected to contribute actively to all aspects of the search, from the creation of advertisements and briefs to candidate interviews, long listing, client interviews, and offer negotiations.

As the ideal candidate, you must bring a successful tenure in a revenue generation role from within the executive search industry. You are adept at managing multiple searches simultaneously and can manage competing search timelines and shifting priorities. You are a strong and sophisticated communicator with exceptional writing and editing skills. You are an exceptional relationship builder, and your tenure working on senior level searches provides you with a high level of judgment and the ability to show discretion in managing confidential information. As a proven recruiter, you are adept at conducting interviews and assessing talent, presenting information at client meetings, and navigating with grace and skill all interactions with clients and candidates, whether they be good news updates or providing feedback to unsuccessful candidates.  Candidates must possess experience and comfort in ensuring recruitment practices are equitable and inclusive to all candidates, and particularly to equity-deserving candidates. Candidates must hold an undergraduate degree from a recognized university, and a graduate level degree would be considered an asset. Proficiency in both French and English would also be considered an asset but is not required.

Griffith Group prides itself on its excellence and a culture that is team focused, inclusive, innovative, and fast paced. There is a strong and engaged commitment to I-EDIA across the firm; candidates must have interest in contributing to and continuing this commitment. Only candidates who meet the required position experience, will work towards the collective success of the firm, contribute to Griffith Group’s culture, and build collaborative and respectful relationships with colleagues will be selected for interviews.
