Locating headhunters in specific industries
A broad-based job search strategy ensures your greatest chance of success in a specific industry.

Q: Can you please suggest a headhunter in the banking and finance industry?

A: Recruitment and placement firms can make up one aspect of your job search strategy but you should not rely on them exclusively to find you a position in a specific field or industry. A well-rounded search strategy should include a mixture of resources: industry associations, personal contacts, online job boards (e.g. Workopolis), networking groups, career sites for large financial institutions, job fairs and recruitment firms.

To locate recruitment firms in a specific industry, you may want to refer to the Directory of Canadian Recruiters, Canada’s only comprehensive directory of search companies. The Directory includes full details on more than 3,400 firms and organizations. The directory can be found in the reference areas of most central library branches within your city.
