The team
Meet your headhunters
Six experts, three offices, one practice — you speak to the person who runs your mandate.
Éric Larouche
Founder and senior partner
He founded the practice on a simple conviction: the best leaders are not on job boards. They are not looking and they do not apply — they have to be found, with method and discretion. For more than a decade he has led the executive mandates in engineering and manufacturing: VP Engineering, plant directors, COO, CEO. Quebec, Ontario, New York. Author and speaker on recruitment and leadership.

Andrée-Ann Raymond, B.Sc., B.Ed.
Director, recruitment and business strategy
She leads talent acquisition and business development, and holds the firm’s finances. Her ground runs from project management and estimation through methods, process and automation engineering, industrial and manufacturing work, to robotics and systems. Her conviction: a search firm should be an extension of the client’s team, not one more supplier.
