Diversity & Inclusion

​

We work only with clients who value diversity in their teams - at all levels - and who are ready to put in the effort to build companies that are inclusive and that foster a sense of belonging for all teammates.

 

We are constantly learning and strive in every search to ensure that we seek out a truly diverse mix of candidates. We give straightforward feedback to our clients, and provide resources to ensure that role design, selection process, offer structure and onboarding are all done with inclusion and equity as a priority.

​

​

Roles We Help Fill

 

Our search work is a blend of:

​

Executive Search:

• Engagements for the recruitment of key functional leaders (C-level, VP, Director) across Sales, Marketing, Product Management, Engineering, Customer Success, Operations, Finance, and HR. 

​

Strategic Search:

• Exclusive engagements for mid-level leaders or individual contributors where talent is scarce and the impact is critical (product marketing, product management, strategic sales, technical architects, customer success, talent, etc).​

​

​

Our Search Process

​

Team and Organization Discovery and Development of Position Profile:

 

We spend time with key members of your team to develop an understanding of your history, your vision and plans for growth and the unique dynamics of your culture.  We get to know the stories, the team, and the challenges and opportunities that you face. We can then prepare to be your ambassador to candidates, and also see potential fit through your eyes.

 

We spend time understanding why a new hire is needed, what they’ll be doing and how their success and impact will be measured. From this, we help to refine your position description both as a marketing and communication tool and a means to ensure consistent language and evaluation throughout the process.

​

Research:

 

All of our searches require intensive research into the unique talent market, along with a high-touch and relationship-based approach to the entire recruitment process. We have the advantage of an extensive network across the North American tech community - so we leverage this and conduct new research to uncover the top talent in relevant regions, vertical markets and specific companies. 

 

Although the majority of our clients are based in Ontario, every search encompasses talent markets across Canada and the major US technology centers. 

 

Directly Engaging Candidates & Delivering your Message: 

 

We are your brand ambassador. Carrying your company story and the leadership opportunity to a finite pool of individuals in your industry is a serious responsibility. We set out to build the best possible teams, and this starts with trusted and authentic relationships with each candidate. We tell your story and also spend time listening to the history, motivations and needs of each candidate. This enables us to position your opportunity in the best light, but also ensures that the best match is made for your team.
 

Candidate Evaluations:

 

We seek to not only attract and engage with great candidates, but to ensure ideal fit for both the candidate and your business. We spend time with candidates through several informal interviews, assessing experience, capabilities, leadership style, values and motivational drivers. Additional insight comes from formal and informal references. 
 

Managing the Process & Ensuring the Best Outcome: 

 

We own the candidate experience on your behalf. With transparency and a relationship focus throughout the evaluation and negotiation process, we ensure the best outcome for both company and candidate.

 

We spend significant time with each candidate, engaging in frank conversations about their experience, their values, and the unique skills and strengths that they might bring to your team. Each candidate is presented along with our complete evaluation, including motivations and any potential concerns about fit.

 

In the 9 years since Artemis was founded, we’ve maintained a ratio of 4-5 candidate interviews for each accepted offer. It is our aim to carefully target your message and present a handful of highly qualified, diverse and motivated candidates. We then work with your team to ensure that every decision maker (including the candidate!) has an opportunity to assess fit in a selection process that is efficient and also ensures a confident and correct decision.

 

Our offer negotiation processes run smoothly, with transparency and a relentless focus on getting the best outcomes.
