The Leadership Agency is a North American executive search firm built for high-growth companies. We partner with founders, CEOs and executive teams when a business is becoming something new and the next leadership hire will shape what it becomes. Forbes named The Leadership Agency Best Executive Recruitment Agencies in both 2025 and 2026, including the top-ranked firm for executive search.

​

The firm was founded in 2017 by Jamie Savage, who leads it today as CEO. Under Jamie's leadership, The Leadership Agency has grown into one of North America's most recognized leadership search firms, with a team that runs C-suite, VP and Head of searches across North America.

​

Our approach to leadership hiring comes from an operator's perspective. A great search partner has to understand far more than a job description: the business, where it's going, what could get in its way, and the kind of leader capable of changing its trajectory. That's the standard we hold on every search. We headhunt, and we reach the people who aren't applying.

Beyond The Leadership Agency, Jamie Savage is the former Chair and Interim CEO of Startup Canada and serves on the Magnet Advisory Board at Toronto Metropolitan University. She's spent her career studying people, leadership and potential, and is known for challenging conventional thinking about who companies hire, how they spot exceptional talent and what great leadership actually looks like. That point of view runs through how the whole firm works.
