Jack (CPA, ex-EY audit) and Steve (20+ years in legal recruiting) personally run searches. Compare to Robert Half or Hays, where it's typically a junior rep working to a quota.
Public accounting, legal, and industry are run by separate teams of recruiters who came from those functions. Most boutiques cover only one practice area; most generalists are shallow across all of them.
Jack is a people person, and not just in the sense that he loves to meet new people. He's a people person in the sense of having a knack for networking and helping accountants level up in their career. After graduating from the Ivey Business School at Western University, and completing the CPA program, he discovered his passion for meeting like-minded, driven young professionals. While working at EY, he was selected to work on the Campus Recruitment Team, and his fate was sealed. He discovered a passion for helping young professionals carve a path to success.
Jack continued working in audit at EY but his passion remained in recruiting and began applying for positions as his next step. Fortunately, through networking, Jack was introduced to Steve and for the next several years they built the largest public accounting recruitment practice in Canada.
When he's not helping accountants get ahead, Jack enjoys exploring Toronto's food scene with his wife, Jill. When he isn't travelling or dining out, you might find him playing fantasy football.
Steve has an uncanny ability for recruitment stemming back to his early working life, where he not only realised his talent for recruiting, but realised how much he truly enjoyed it.
After several years of internal recruiting, Steve made the switch to the agency side where he specialized for a short time in sales recruitment and overtime his focus became accounting and finance.
Fast forward to 2012, Steve purchased the London Group and for the following four years built it to become a key player in the public accounting recruitment industry, servicing multiple public accounting firms and industry positions, in every accounting and finance role. After merging London Group with a larger recruitment agency, Steve became a Partner and built his practice over the next several years.
Then in 2022, Steve set out to develop Minted Search Group, Canada's go-to public accounting recruitment firm. When Steve isn't busy recruiting, you'll find him spending quality time with his wife, daughters & dog, or unleashing creativity in the studio as a budding abstract artist.
Meet Bram, the first hire at Minted Search Group. He started in accounting before helping launch and grow the firm’s legal recruiting practice. Today, as Director of Legal Recruiting, he connects lawyers and legal professionals with opportunities that fit their experience and goals.

Lauren joins Minted after working at one of Toronto's premier civil litigation boutiques. As an associate, she handled a wide range of files, including civil fraud cases, defamation matters, and complex contract disputes. She successfully argued motions on the Toronto Commercial List and played a key role in mediations that delivered mutually beneficial outcomes.

A natural people person, Maria brings strong communication skills, an ability to build genuine relationships and a deep understanding of the legal industry to her role at Minted.
