About Jason

With almost 14 years experience as a professional recruiter, Jason is  well known and respected as a veteran and expert in the recruitment of  senior and specialized finance, operations and executive professionals  in the Manitoba market. Jason is a true headhunter, taking the time to  fully understand the roles and companies he works with, and spending  time to identify the skills, experience and motivators of every  candidate he works with. As a result, Jason is extremely successful in targeting and matching the ideal candidate to the perfect company and  position. In addition, Jason genuinely cares about the people he works  with placing ethics and responsibility above all else.  

Jason has a proven track record of filling challenging, difficult to  fill, and extremely specialized roles that companies have often been  struggling with for several months. Although based in Manitoba, Jason  has successfully worked on senior and executive roles in most provinces  across Canada from BC to Quebec and has even placed some challenging  roles in remote northern locations and even Baffin Island.  

Jason is analytical, detail oriented and prides himself on quality and  diligence in his search process. He will go beyond the initial phone  call or meeting with a client, or interview with a candidate to further  research and understand a company, the role, a piece of software or  technical requirements for a position. He will research the companies  and roles that a candidate may have worked with to gain a better understanding of their experience and fit for a particular role. As a  result of his diligent approach, Jason is extremely successful in  targeting the best candidates for a specific role and ensuring a long  term fit and success for both the client and the candidate.  

Jason has a diverse background and in addition to almost 14 years as a  professional recruiter, he also brings more than 10 years of experience  working in the banking industry, primarily in Toronto where he held  local and regional managerial and senior leadership roles in Retail and  Commercial Banking, Business Development, Credit, Securities Compliance,  Audit and Investment sales and Advisory services.  

After moving to Winnipeg, Jason was approached to join a global  recruitment firm where he spent a total of 8 years as a manager and  director of permanent placement services and also worked for a number of  years in Senior Recruitment roles with smaller boutique professional  recruitment and executive search firms. 

Jason prides himself on his ability to build strong relationships with  clients and candidates, ensuring the best possible fit for the client  and the candidate in terms of experience, skill set, culture and  personality.  

Over the past 10 years, Jason has worked with many of Manitoba’s largest  companies and top employers as well as smaller private and family-owned  businesses, and he has also worked with larger National and even Global  companies in placing candidates in a wide variety of junior,  intermediate, senior and executive level positions.
