"The average tenure of a C or VP level recruit in North America is reported to be less than 18 months - within Vancouver's small tech sector it is even less". - Bruce Edmond
In my 16 years as a recruiter in Vancouver, I have seen that the same mistakes tend to surface. Companies hire based on availability rather than excellence, they hire people without relevant industry experience, and they hire people who are a poor cultural fit. At Corporate Recruiters, we can help companies increase the tenure and success of a new executive level hire by profiling the requirement and narrowing the search parameters.
Our best results are when we work closely with a company from the start of the assignment and don't put any boundaries on where the new hire will come from. Our biggest thrill comes from locating new candidates and getting them excited about the opportunity whether they are located in New York, San Francisco, London, or Vancouver. We know we have done a good job for our clients when they have a choice of finalist candidates, any one of whom can do the job.
