Our Story

ivy’s story started in search. Inspired one part by our deep experience in executive search and recruitment firms and the other part working on the inside with high growth, impact organizations, ivy was founded with one mission in mind – to help people grow.

ivy’s organizational services were designed to offer an intentional, high-touch customized hiring and coaching experiences for companies needing high-performing leaders, managers and domain expertise to make it all work.

ivy’s individual services evolved out of our experience working with thousands of candidates through the decades. Recognizing that career transition and job search could
be isolating and lonely, we designed career wellness and individual coaching support services with the motto that ‘together is better’.

We needed an executive search firm to help us with a few leadership hires, and chose ivy because we were inspired by their down to earth, highly consultative approach and track record working with high-growth organizations. They kept us consistently updated, worked through pivots and direction changes easily, and generally felt like an extension of our internal team. We’d highly recommend them as a search partner.

I retained ivy Group to help us think through how to evolve one of our most important practice groups. We had a consistent and open dialogue about not just the candidates’ qualifications, but also how the recruit would be viewed internally and be able to tackle the challenge ahead. They refocused me when I felt discouraged and helped me see the bigger picture of the process. With Tracy and her team’s professionalism, dedication, and discretion, we found our “needle in a haystack” candidate.

We recently needed to find a new CEO for the Canadian Anesthesiologists’ Society. As a non profit organization for physicians, we recognized our complete lack of time and HR experience so we decided to invest in the ivy team’s executive search services. I’m SO happy that we chose the ivy team, not only because we now have a fantastic new CEO, but because they managed to transform this potentially stressful, time consuming process into a smooth and efficient journey. I highly recommend ivy and would not consider anyone else for our future HR needs!

Building a team is hard any time, but building it from scratch is even more so due to trying to find the right mix of skill and personality to fit a culture that is yet to be defined. We found ourselves in this situation when building the senior leadership team of MedSpa Partners. ivy came in and brought big firm experience and process with boutique sensibilities that combined for what I felt was a truly tailored approach. Through the process they not only took our feedback on candidates, but quickly recalibrated, [which] equated into great candidates, a solid process and subsequently a fantastic team. ivy Group are the only firm we use.

Dominic Mazzone, CEO, MedSpa Partners
