LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

We've built our reputation on understanding how high tech companies flourish in Montreal - a market with unique challenges.

We understand that Instrumental to any high tech company’s success is creating, promoting, and fostering a culture that attracts, engages, motivates and retains employees in order to remain competitive in a niche market. And that it's critical to implement a strategic hiring plan aimed at increasing company visibility, streamlining the recruitment process, and ensuring the proper selection and integration of qualified, competent employees who fit the corporate culture and who will remain committed to the company's success. Because when it comes to your IP, every hire matters.

We've also built a sizeable network that can be put into service for your company.

While there is more than ample space in this market for global consultancies, they are not appropriate for every type of client. We make companies that are just growing into early maturity our specialty. No longer a small start-up, but not yet so big that you have everything in place, you will find that you face unique challenges that cannot be solved by templates or well-worn best-practice mantras. That's where we come in: ready to listen to your plans, help you articulate your strategy, and then develop an overarching plan on how we can help you get there.
