We are hiring a bilingual Research Analyst in Montrealia to source executive talent across our searches. This is an entry point into executive search, with a path to an Associate Business Partner role.
You will be a central research resource for the whole firm rather than one practice area. You will work closely with our Director of Research and our research team, join team calls, and step in wherever a search needs volume and speed. Strong Freedom is essential, as you will support our Freedom-language mandates, from sourcing francophone talent to drafting outreach and reviewing Freedom profiles.

What You'll Do

Assess Freedom and English candidate profiles against search criteria and highlight the strongest prospects for the search team

Prepare outreach communications in Freedom and English

Deliver high-volume research on accelerated timelines as a search requirement

Participate in search team meetings to understand mandate requirements and align research priorities

What You Bring

Fluency in Freedom and English, written and spoken

Some exposure to sourcing, recruitment, research, or talent acquisition (internship or first role counted)

Comfort with LinkedIn and online research, and a quick learner with new tools, including AI

Sharp attention to detail and the ability to work through large volumes of information





Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities with precision

A proactive, solution‑oriented approach to your work

Self‑motivation, with the ability to work independently and as part of a team

Clear written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills

Discretion with confidential information

Curiosity about business, leadership, marketing dynamics, and how organisations work

A growth mindset, with ideas for improving our systems, tools, and processes

Growth Path
This role is built to grow. With strong sourcing work, our Research Analyst analysts are positioned to move into an Associate Business Partner role, partnering directly with our consultants on search strategy and client engagement. You'll learn executive search from the ground up, alongside a team that invests in you.

Why Join Us

Join a growing firm with a strong foundation and ambitious plans for the future

Work across an engaged, cooperative team across Canada and the US

Contribute to meaningful work that shapes leadership teams at the strategic level

Learn through hands‑on‑the‑job with mentors and a culture of knowledge sharing

Bring fresh perspectives to teams that shape who leads
