Technology & Marketing Executive Search in Toronto

Periscope Search Group is a boutique executive search firm founded in Toronto more than 20 years ago. We help companies across the Greater Toronto Area hire the technology and marketing leaders who move their business forward — from CTOs and VPs of Engineering to CMOs and Directors of Digital Marketing.

Because Toronto is our home market, our network here runs deepest: we know the leaders, the companies, and the compensation realities of hiring senior talent in the GTA.

Hiring technology and marketing leaders in Toronto

Toronto is Canada's largest technology hub and one of the fastest-growing tech talent markets in North America. Demand for senior engineering and product leadership is driven by the city's financial services sector, a globally recognized AI research community, and a dense startup and scale-up ecosystem stretching from downtown Toronto to the Kitchener-Waterloo corridor.

For employers, that means competition for proven leaders is intense — and for candidates, it means opportunity. A search partner with genuine local relationships shortens both sides of that equation.

What we do in Toronto

Technology & marketing recruiting — senior individual contributors through director-level hires.

Executive search — senior-led searches for CTO, VP Engineering, CMO, VP Marketing and other leadership mandates, on a contingency basis: no retainer, no fee unless we place.

Recruitment process optimization — helping in-house talent teams hire faster and better.

Operations consulting — aligning teams and processes as you scale.

Why companies in Toronto work with us

We are boutique by design: searches are led by senior recruiters, not handed off. Founded in Toronto and operating across North America, we combine local depth with cross-border reach — useful when your shortlist should include talent from Montreal, New York, or remote-first leaders anywhere in Canada or the US.
