Talent Harbour is building something different in recruitment.

We are an operator-led talent platform with ambitious plans for growth across Canada and the U.S., both organically and through acquisition. Our leadership team includes entrepreneurs with a track record of building and scaling some of Canada's fastest-growing companies.

We partner with organizations ranging from entrepreneurial, founder-led businesses to major enterprises, helping them solve critical talent challenges. Depending on the search and client relationship, our recruitment work is delivered on either a retained or contingent basis.

We're looking for an accomplished Accounting & Finance recruiter who is interested in more than running searches. This is an opportunity to help grow a practice, build lasting client relationships, and develop alongside an expanding business.

THE ROLE

This is a senior, client-facing position with established business waiting for you from the start.

Rather than building your desk entirely from scratch, you'll step into existing client relationships that you can manage, deepen, and expand.

Your focus will be full-cycle recruitment within Accounting & Finance, covering positions from experienced mid-level professionals through senior finance leadership, including Controllers, Directors of Finance, VPs of Finance, and CFOs.

As you establish yourself in the role, you'll also grow new business across the Accounting & Finance market and have the opportunity to significantly increase your earnings based on your results.

We're looking for someone who is driven, takes ownership, and wants to be part of a company that will invest in their long-term growth.

EARNING POTENTIAL

$75,000–$350,000

We offer flexibility in how your compensation is structured:

- Commission-only with an industry-leading commission rate, designed for proven billers who want significant uncapped earning potential.
- Base salary plus commission, with draw arrangements available for the right individual.





The final structure will reflect your experience and previous billing performance. Strong performers have the ability to earn at the highest end of the range, with no ceiling on earnings. WHAT YOU'LL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

- Lead full-cycle Accounting & Finance searches across mid-level, senior leadership, and executive positions, including Controllers, Directors of Finance, VPs of Finance, and CFOs.
- Take ownership of established client accounts and build on existing relationships from day one.
- Generate new business through direct outreach, professional networks, referrals, and relationship development.
- Become deeply connected to the Accounting & Finance talent market, building trusted networks of both candidates and clients.
- Develop strong candidate pipelines through proactive sourcing, research, and talent mapping.
- Use AI and recruitment technology to increase efficiency and improve outcomes for clients.
- Deliver against monthly and quarterly billing expectations with explicit visibility into your results.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

- At least three years of full-cycle agency recruitment experience.
- Demonstrated success recruiting Accounting & Finance professionals, ideally across mid-level positions through senior leadership and executive searches.
- A proven billing track record that you are comfortable discussing.
- Hands-on experience incorporating AI tools into your current recruitment workflow.
- Strong working knowledge of LinkedIn Recruiter and applicant tracking systems.
- You must live in Metro Vancouver and be able to commute to the Burnaby or Port Moody area.




- You should be comfortable working from the office. Hybrid flexibility may be considered for the right person.
- Strong personal accountability, initiative, and the ability to deliver results without close supervision.
