“An absolute pleasure to work with. I truly felt that I was taken care of by IQ Partners' highly professional and experienced team from day 1. More importantly, I felt like I was treated like a friend. I highly look forward to working with IQ Partners more in the future to hire more stellar candidates.”

“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.”
- Philip Filippopoulos, CFO, Dentsu Aegis Network Canada
