A GLOBAL EXECUTIVE SEARCH FIRM THAT IS FINE-TUNED FOR GLOBAL COMPANIES
Founded in the US in 1987, ART is a one-stop senior management worldwide executive search firm, bringing the highest and most exacting standards of executive search (headhunting), coupled with the fast paced, results-oriented, and efficient style that today's Canadian businesses demand.
We are a
worldwide executive search firm recruiting senior management for multinationals, fast growth medium sized firms,
and dynamic startups. We recruit "world class" managers for the
industrial, high tech, and service sectors.
There are many opportunities in the Canadian market, for both employers and candidates. But the difference between success and failure in a strategic executive search assignment could rest upon the experience of the headhunter who makes the match between one person and one company. All ART searches are managed by a recruiter with a minimum of ten years' experience in executive search - a standard of care and professionalism frequently lacking in our competition.
We hope that you give ART an opportunity to prove our abilities to you. We believe that our risk-free process will make using ART a great resource for you in Canada and beyond.
ART recruits nationwide, and within the major linguistic and cultural communities of Canada.
Most Canadian executive search firms, by contrast, are highly localized, so that a search firm in Montreal might not have many candidate or company contacts in Québec City or Toronto. A Toronto recruitment firm might not know people or companies in Windsor, Ottawa, Mississauga, or Waterloo. A Vancouver search firm might not know candidates or companies in Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg or Halifax. In fact, too frequently in Canada, francophone recruiters might only recruit francophones, while anglophone recruiters might only recruit anglophones.
While talking heads might have all the time and money in the world to chat about "The Two Solitudes" or "the problem of Canadian regionalism," Canadian and foreign businesses have urgent needs to reach as much of the Canadian customer market as quickly, and as fully, as possible. Canadian customers want to be served equally, but if managers tend to be recruited with a focus on one locality or on one language group rather than by identifying the best national candidates, markets will tend to remain divided, and products and services might not be fully available to all.
The practices existing at most Canadian executive search firms of accepting as permanent facts regional feudalism or linguistic bifurcation, tend to make our competitors useless to our Canadian clients and candidates -- even in their own city! Canadian and foreign companies come to ART to end the hand-wringing about supposed divisions, and they ask us to just go find great managers who can bring together Canadian staff and customers nationwide. In the harshest conditions, from the earliest times in Canadian history, when trade routes were created by people kayaking across the Bering Straits, crossing the North Atlantic in tall ships, or by portaging lakes, rivers and streams, there have been traders who have known how to bridge cultural gaps. Such people have always existed in Canada. They know how to listen to people, how to understand their needs, and then people look to them to lead. Such natural Canadian business leaders can be found today, if the recruiter understands what key characteristics and experiences to look for.
When Canadian candidates or Canadian companies need to look beyond their immediate cities, across their province, across the nation, ART is better equipped to help introduce the right contacts.
We know and respect local markets while serving as a bridge between them. This is the great value that ART brings its clients and candidates in Canada, as well as foreign firms seeking Canadian CEO's, Managing Directors, General Managers, National Sales Directors, etc. who can reach all Canada. The alternative - engaging multiple search firms in multiple cities or provinces simply to identify top national candidates - is simply too impractical, too costly, too much prone to delays and other inefficiencies.
When Canadian candidates or Canadian companies need to look beyond their immediate cities, across their province, across the nation, and into the US, Latin America, Asia, Europe, the Mideast or Africa, ART is better equipped to help introduce the right contacts.
Unlike most recruitment firms based in Canada, which have to depend upon outsourced recruiters and unclear partnerships with foreign recruiters for overseas searches, ART does 100% of all our own recruitment. We recruit directly in over 100 countries, and we never use any other recruitment company to find our candidates. In this way, we are able to deliver excellent candidates with the same level of efficiency and quality of service that is expected in our clients' home countries.

A SUCCESSFUL EMPLOYEE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MAKING A PLACEMENT
We understand the multiplicity of business cultures of not just cities, regions or nations, but also the subtle and significant differences between company business models. As a firm that recruits for large MNC's, JV's, medium sized multinationals, privately held firms, and startups, we know that not one candidate could fit all business models well.
Not all MNC's are organized the same! To us, a famous company name in a resume does not mean much in itself. What we look for is what the person did in that company, and under what kind of circumstances. Certain jobs might have prepared a person to be successful only in very similar business models and corporate sizes or bureaucratic structures. For example, a person working as General Manager of a 1,000 person MNC operation in Canada might not be the same kind of person who would be successful being General Manager of a one-person startup sales office in Canada - even if both the candidate's employer and our client were very similar kinds of companies.

OUR HOURS
The Canada Market and the Global Economy have no time to lose, so our hours
are your hours.
ART's operations center is open virtually 24 hours a day, 7
days a week, 365 days a year. Candidates and employers the world over can work with their ART recruiter in their own time zone. There is not a need when working with ART to have to take into account what time zone the search firm is located in. While our competition is asleep, ART recruiters are working dutifully to fill our client needs. This means that typically ART searches are completed in half or third of the time as our competition, allowing our client companies to rapidly evaluate our candidates and to get started an interview process for their very important needs.
