A Founder-Led Search Firm Built for Insurance and Financial Services
Unik Talent Partners was built on a simple belief: the best recruitment happens through relationships, not resume farming.
After a decade working in talent acquisition across Canada's staffing industry, I saw a clear gap in the insurance and financial services market. Hiring managers at brokerages, MGAs, carriers, and financial institutions needed a recruitment partner who truly understood the sector. Not a generalist agency running keyword searches and sending unvetted resumes.
That is why Unik exists.
We work exclusively in insurance and financial services recruitment across Canada, placing professionals in roles spanning underwriting, claims, commercial lines, risk and compliance, sales, and corporate leadership. Whether you are filling a hard-to-find specialty role, building out a team in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, or Calgary, or searching for bilingual talent in Quebec, we bring focused expertise that generalist agencies simply cannot match.
We work with a select number of clients at a time, go deep on every search, and treat every placement as a long-term investment in your team's future. When you work with Unik, you work directly with me. There are no junior handoffs, no account managers in between, and no guesswork about who is running your search.
If you are an insurance or financial services firm looking for a true recruitment partner in Canada, I would welcome the conversation.
