Filling the leadership in Ottawa's tech sector (Published in the Ottawa Business Journal - Summer/Fall 2008)
|
Increasingly, Greg Boyle says he
hears a disturbing message from
his clients: don’t bother looking in
Ottawa for talented business leaders,
because you won’t find them.And as a
managing partner of Ottawa-based
Stonewood Group, an executive
placement firm for emerging tech
companies, Mr. Boyle adds he typically
defers to his clients’ wishes.
“They were saying ‘there are not
really that many good people in
Ottawa with the right DNA to lead
companies,’” says Mr. Boyle. But as a
former CEO and an Ottawa executive
himself, he says he doesn't believe
high-calibre candidates can only be
found in Montreal, Toronto or the U.S.

Courtesy Interviews A headhunter pushes back |
As a headhunter in the technology sector I am an almost obligatory stop on the networking circuit of many executive job seekers. I hold the promise of a barometer on the employment market, contacts, ideas, and ongoing searches which may be suited to the job seeker. I am always happy to participate in courtesy interviews as I neither envy the job seekers’ circumstances nor take lightly the courage it takes to reach out to me.
