Recruiting Indigenous Leaders Across Canada and Beyond.
Executive Search
Guided by Indigenous Values
Most things in life don’t run in a straight line, including work and careers. Pathways Executive Search is a national Indigenous recruitment firm, uniquely qualified to support the attraction, evaluation, hiring, and onboarding of individuals for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous clients.
Why Pathways Executive Search?
Every day, we navigate many paths, helping remove barriers and challenges organizations and individuals face, whether looking for talent or employment. The routes we’re on may be different, but all have a similar destination: a place where talented people are paired with respectful, inclusive work environments.
One of our colleagues uses a word in her traditional Secwépemc language that reflects the rich and nuanced spirit of reciprocity: knucwentwécw-kt. In English, it means “we help one another.” This is what we do at Pathways, making Indigenous recruitment and career journeys less difficult and acting as trusted advisors and champions on the path to reconciliation and inclusion.
