How does your recruitment agency find talent?

We are a direct-contact recruitment agency, meaning we don’t just advertise your position. We proactively recruit the superstars who will make a real difference to your team. Our headhunters know the best people rarely look for their next job; they’re actively recruited. That means we deliver not just the best people on the market but the best people in the market.

Once we’ve identified a shortlist of potential candidates, IQ PARTNERS utilizes a proprietary candidate assessment tool called smartFACTOR™ that gets past a candidate’s effort to sell themselves and scores them 3 critical attributes critical to success in today’s workplace.

Yes, our recruitment agency provides both temporary and permanent placement services.

How can your recruitment agency help me attract a diverse workforce

As a recruitment agency that helps other companies hire better, it is our responsibility to cultivate diversity, equity, and inclusion within our own organization, and to help our clients build diverse and inclusive teams. To ensure that our recruitment efforts reflect the best DEI practices, EVERY employee of IQ PARTNERS has completed at least 10 hours of DEI Training.

Can your recruitment agency help with my hiring needs across Canada, or help me hire from outside Canada?

Yes, while our recruitment agency is based in Toronto we are constantly recruiting people for positions across Canada and internationally. In the last six months we’ve recruited for positions in everywhere from the Okanagan to Halifax and from the U.S. to Europe. And, our deep networks in 17 specialties ranging from Accounting to Tech, means we know where to find the top talent no matter where they’re located across Canada or beyond our borders.

What is a headhunter?

EQ Bank had the pleasure of working with IQ Partners and Adrian Robinson on a critical executive search, and the experience exceeded our expectations in every way. From the outset, Adrian and his team took the time to deeply understand our brand, culture, and the specific needs of the role. This thoughtful approach ensured that our company was represented in the market in a compelling and authentic way, attracting an incredibly impressive slate of candidates.

What truly set Adrian apart was his ability to balance strategic insight with a hands-on, responsive approach. Communication throughout the process was seamless—we always felt informed, supported, and confident in the search strategy. His ability to identify top-tier talent and guide us through the selection process was invaluable.

Thanks to IQ Partners and Adrian Robinson, we successfully secured an outstanding executive who aligns perfectly with our vision and leadership needs. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend Adrian and his team to any organization looking for top-level recruitment expertise.

Mahima Poddar, Group Head, Personal Banking, EQ Bank

I often tell people that they can do pretty much any search in the world - any function, any location - because their expertise in recruiting and their willingness to get out there and dive into unknown territory is so impressive. I'm a big fan of IQ PARTNERS... Thanks for everything!

IQ PARTNERS is the best executive search firm I’ve ever worked with!

Wendy Porter, Board Member, VersaPay

We are a high performing organization… We are a very values driven culture, and IQ PARTNERS really gets that… they come across as a solutions provider, as a problem solver, as opposed to a trader in talent or people... I believe strongly that they would make a great partner to some of our other partners, and I will continue to refer them and recommend them.
