Toronto, ON — July 22, 2025 — Griffith Group Executive Search (“Griffith Group”) is thrilled to announce its inclusion on Forbes’ prestigious list of Best Executive Recruiting Firms in Canada for 2025. This national recognition is a remarkable achievement for the firm, which was founded in Toronto in 2021 and has become a leader in purpose-driven executive recruitment.
Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista and compiled the very first rankings, based on survey responses from more than 15,000 participants in Canada—composed of human resources managers, hiring managers, recruiters and employees who recently worked with a recruiting firm. The companies that received the most recommendations are included in the Forbes rankings, with 80 firms on the executive search list, 120 firms on the professional search list and 120 firms on the temporary staffing list.
Griffith Group sets itself apart by providing exceptional executive search services for nonprofit, academic and public organizations across Canada. With a deep commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion, accessibility, and reconciliation (EDIA-R), the firm brings exceptional insight and care to every search.
“I am incredibly proud of our team,” said Jane Griffith, Founder and Managing Partner. “They bring their commitment to high-impact results and a values-based approach to every client assignment. This recognition from Forbes speaks to the integrity, talent, and heart they bring to their work every day.”
Since 2021, Griffith Group has:
• Become a certified diverse supplier through WBE Canada
• Achieved Rainbow Registered status, one of only two recruiting firms in Canada to do so
• Established a strategic partnership with UK-based Anderson Quigley, expanding its reach internationally
• In just four years, the Griffith Group has successfully placed over 175 values-aligned leaders across higher education, health care, arts, community services, associations, and more
With gratitude to its clients, candidates, and community partners, Griffith Group views this recognition not as a milestone — but a launching point. The firm looks forward to continuing its work with organizations committed to leadership excellence and the public good.
