Senior Executive Recruiter

About Ari Agency Executive Search

At Ari Agency Executive Search, we partner with founders and leadership teams to make one decision that changes everything, the right leadership hire.

We’re not a volume shop. We don’t work contingency. And we don’t believe speed without strategy creates great outcomes.

Through our A-WAY™ framework, we define what an A-Player actually looks like before we ever go to market. That means understanding leadership dynamics, team gaps, and growth stage realities, not just a job description.

The Role

We’re hiring a Senior Executive Recruiter to lead retained searches across startups, scaleups, and high-growth global brands throughout North America.

This is a high-trust, high-impact role where you will:

• Own executive searches end-to-end (VP to C-level)
• Act as a strategic advisor to founders and leadership teams
• Go beyond the brief to shape the role and define success
• Identify and assess senior talent across Marketing, Product, Operations, Emerging Technology and growth leadership roles
• Lead client conversations, candidate processes, and close outcomes

What Makes This Different

• Strategy-first approach, not transactional recruiting
• Deep client partnership, not order-taking
• Focus on leadership impact, not just placement
• Real influence on how companies build their teams

Who You Are

• Experienced in executive search or senior-level recruitment (retained experience is a strong asset)
• Comfortable working with founders and senior executives
• Strong in both search execution and client-facing advisory
• Naturally curious, intuitive, and commercially minded
• Not afraid to challenge thinking and bring a point of view

Location

Remote, with preference for candidates based in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Ontario

Why Join Us

You’ll be part of a firm that believes:

Finding talent isn’t the hard part.

Getting the strategy right is.

If you’re looking to do more than fill roles and want to play a real part in shaping next-gen leaders in high-growth founder-led companies, let’s talk.
