The Opportunities Company
Hiring shouldn'tfeel like gambling.
Atlantic Canada's boutique recruiting firm. 500+ placements, 98% success rate, 45 days on average to hire.
Who We Are
A boutique recruiting firm for the hires that matter most.
When a role is too important to get wrong, like a CEO transition, a VP who'll build your next department, or a leader who'll take the company to its next stage, companies call us.
Our Approach
We go beyond resumes to find leaders who actually fit.
Your last recruiter probably sent you polished resumes. We dig deeper. We look at what drives a candidate, how they lead, and whether they'll do well in your culture, not just whether they tick the right boxes.
After 500+ placements in this market, we know who's out there, who's ready to move, and who will deliver for your business.
Leadership Reviews
Not every leadership gap requires a new hire.
Before you recruit externally, we help you see what you already have. Through structured leadership reviews, we identify who's ready to step up, who needs development, and where the real gaps are. So when you do hire, you're filling the right role.

Common Questions
What you need to know.
Every placement has a 90-day guarantee. If the hire doesn't work out in that window because of performance, we run a replacement search at no extra fee. With a 98% placement success rate and 85% one-year retention it rarely comes up, but it's there so you can hire with confidence.
We build relationships instead of pushing transactions. Honestly, resumes mean very little to us. We care about what people want to do next, how they want to do it, and how we can help them succeed. We also see hundreds of companies a year, so we know what actually works.
About 45 days on average, from kickoff to accepted offer. It varies with the seniority of the role, the market, and what you're looking for. We'd rather get it right than get it fast.
Mostly growth-stage companies (20 to 500 employees) and established small to mid-sized businesses going through a transition or growth. We place everyone from VPs to C-suite executives, across technology, professional services, and other growing companies.
98% placement success and 85% one-year retention. We've made over 500 placements and advanced 1,000+ careers. We think it comes from building real relationships and paying attention to fit.
Executive search is mostly retained. Strategic HR and leadership advisory can be a project (3 to 6 months) or an ongoing retainer. We'll work out the right setup on a free discovery call.
No. We also do leadership reviews to assess and develop the leaders you already have, strategic HR consulting for org design and talent strategy, and succession planning to protect what you've built. We can help with most people problems.
