Job details

Talent Harbour is building something different in recruitment. We are an operator-led talent platform with ambitious plans to grow across Canada and the U.S., both organically and through acquisition. Our leadership team includes experienced entrepreneurs who have built and scaled some of Canada’s fastest-growing companies. We work with clients ranging from founder-led businesses to major enterprises, helping them hire the people they need to grow and perform. Depending on the search and client relationship, we deliver recruitment on either a retained or contingent basis. We’re looking for an experienced Accounting & Finance recruiter who wants to do more than fill roles. This is an opportunity to help build and grow a practice, develop long-term client relationships, and play a meaningful role in the growth of the 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. 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 clear 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. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT AT TALENT HARBOUR Proven entrepreneurial leadership: Work alongside award-winning entrepreneurs who have successfully built and scaled high-growth Canadian companies, with access to hands-on mentorship. A business in growth mode: Talent Harbour is expanding organically and through acquisition, creating an opportunity to join while there is significant room to grow with us. Established client relationships: You'll have real accounts and existing relationships to work with rather than beginning with an entirely cold desk. No cap on your earning potential: Strong performance is rewarded directly, without an artificial ceiling on what you can earn. Technology that supports performance: We're actively investing in AI and recruitment technology to help our team operate more efficiently, create more value for clients, and increase billings. A high-performance environment: You'll work in a culture where strong standards, ownership, accountability, and opportunity go together. Future leadership opportunities: As Talent Harbour grows nationally, high performers will have opportunities to step into leadership positions. APPLYING As part of the application process, please be ready to discuss: How many years you've worked in agency recruitment. The types of Accounting & Finance positions you've recruited for. Your billing history within Accounting & Finance recruitment. Your average monthly placements in your most recent position. Your average annual billing during the past 12 months. How you're currently using AI in your recruitment work. COMPENSATION $60,000–$150,000 We offer two compensation options based on your experience and preferred structure: Base salary plus commission, with no cap on commissions. Commission-only with draw options, at an industry-leading rate, designed for experienced billers who want maximum earning potential without a ceiling. Top billers have the ability to earn over $250,000+. Your compensation structure will be determined based on your experience and billing track record. High performers have significant earning potential, with no cap on commissions. If the opportunity isn't right for you personally but someone in your network would be an excellent fit, we'd welcome an introduction.
