Building the greatest marketplace of pre-vetted high-potential candidates and companies 🚀 | Founder @HiredHippo 🦛 | Founder @Linkus 🎯 | Co-Founder @HelpList ⚡️ | Named the Peak's 2023 Emerging Leader

I help startups and SMBs hire top performers for niche, hard-to-fill roles.

15+ years ago, I discovered that most companies were hiring all wrong. Since then, I've been obsessed with cracking the code on recruitment – building a process that actually works for both sides of the table.

In 2009, I founded Linkus Group. What began as a mission to support startups and SMBs as they scale has now evolved into a high-touch, well-connected recruitment partnership that recognizes people as a company's most valuable asset.

Here's what we learned along the way: exceptional hiring isn't about posting jobs and hoping. It's about strategically attracting talent across Executive, Operations, Revenue & Marketing, Engineering & Product, Finance, and HR roles. We handle the complete talent lifecycle from attraction and discovery to culture building and long-term retention.

The results speak for themselves. Over 500+ companies have trusted us with their growth. We've placed 1,000+ hires with a 95% retention rate. Our #1 KPI is repeat business. Companies keep coming back because we find the best person for the job in the shortest amount of time, for the lowest cost.

We're selective about our partnerships. We typically only accept referrals and work with companies from early stage through their growth journey – 1 to 250+ employees, bootstrapped to Series B and beyond. We focus on Senior to Executive roles because that's where the right hire makes or breaks momentum.

I am obsessed with all things People, and I love solving problems through a people-focused lens.

If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught me anything about the future of work, it's the importance of enabling people to play to their strengths when navigating change. I firmly believe that when leaders create an environment that enables people to show up as their authentic selves, they create psychological safety, enabling teams to accomplish the unthinkable. I am a data-driven decision maker, with a 'get-it-done' working style, and have a track record of success both at a strategic and operational level.

I truly believe that any organization needs to be as obsessed about their employee journey as they are about the customer journey, and that people operations excellence is at the root of an exceptional employee experience. My career building and leading People teams combines 2 of my greatest passions: building high performance teams, and creating inclusive cultures. 

As a Certified Human Resources Leader (CHRL), I work as a partner and coach to leadership. I am passionate about supporting high-growth start-ups and SMBs and do this by bringing a pragmatic approach and the ability to navigate tough decision-making in order to drive engagement, retention and growth.

Having been featured in publications including: The Globe & Mail, Elle Magazine, Toronto Star, HDR Magazine, Benefits Canada and more, I believe in building community and giving back through sharing experience as an HR thought-leader and spokesperson.
