Morgan Palmer Search Directives

Morgan Palmer Search Directives is an executive search firm founded in 1995 and operating across Canada from offices in Toronto and Western Canada. Doug Wallace is president, and Jeff Maiste is a partner in the Toronto office. The firm works with NPAworldwide, a network of affiliates in North America and globally, which it says includes over 500 affiliated search firms.

It places senior and mid-level leaders across all functions. It says it has recruited full senior management teams and critical hires over the past 30 years for clients ranging from small and medium sized businesses to multi-national organisations. Its sectors include manufacturing and distribution, industrial and agricultural equipment, transportation and logistics, construction and B2B. Recent searches cover finance, HR, sales, marketing, engineering, purchasing and project roles, and it also places plant managers, engineering teams and supply chain leaders. It manages confidential searches.

The firm says better than 80% of its business is repeat, and describes its method as documented research combined with a direct contact approach to recruiting.
