Recruit King

Recruit King is an executive search firm founded by Mike King, a tenured executive search veteran who began recruiting in 1998 for the largest field marketing company in North America. King later held regional and national sales and marketing positions for two international consumer goods companies before returning to the search industry in 2005, where he successfully merged his passions for talent assessment and managing strategic client mandates.

The company defines what it means to be a headhunter in the modern job market, focusing on revealing off-the-market talent not found on job boards. The firm's approach blends technology, proprietary competencies frameworks and deep human interaction to expose passive candidate profiles engineered for clients' distinct character and skill requirements. Rather than relying on job postings and existing candidate databases, Recruit King focuses on uncovering the top candidate for each unique opportunity through disciplined research, outreach and genuine relationship building.

Based in Canada, Recruit King has received testimonials from clients across industries including pharmaceuticals, media, industrial automation and others, praising the firm's ability to find candidates who fit seamlessly into teams and culture, and Mike's personal approach to understanding client values, culture and strategic direction.
