About Agency

About is a Montreal-based recruitment agency specialising in expert placement, talent search, and strategic recruitment for the creative industries. The company operates with a distinctive philosophy, positioning itself as a talent agent rather than a traditional recruiter. About provides four core services: executive and expert recruitment through peer referrals, rapid placement for temporary and contractual roles, internal recruitment where the agency operates as an embedded team member, and strategic advisory for organisational transitions and leadership meetings. The agency's approach emphasises autonomy, confidentiality, and seamless integration with client decision-makers.

About specialises in recruitment across cinema, video games, graphic design, software, and creative media sectors. The company distinguishes itself through a rigorous peer-referral model, ensuring 99% of presented profiles come from industry recommendations rather than mass sourcing. This approach allows About to engage with passive candidates who do not actively seek opportunities, speaking to them as peers and acting as their representative throughout the recruitment process. The agency works directly with decision-makers such as general managers, production directors, and creative leads, eliminating intermediary communication layers that create inefficiency.

Operating from Montreal, About serves the Grand Montreal region and has built a track record of 100% client retention since its inception. The company delivers qualified meetings within seven days, with salary validation completed before introductions to ensure candidates and employers are genuinely aligned. About positions itself as the specialist recruitment force for mandates requiring precision, speed, and deep industry understanding, distinguishing itself from traditional in-house teams and high-volume recruitment agencies through its peer-to-peer conversation style and commitment to quality over quantity.
