Why a Vancouver-specialised recruiter
Vancouver moves to different rhythms than Toronto. Tech and real estate development drive much of the hiring; mining and Asia-Pacific financial services round out the market. Comp expectations reflect a high-cost-of-living premium, particularly downtown and on the North Shore.
We’ve placed senior finance and legal talent across BC-headquartered SaaS, mid-market private companies, Howe Street firms, and resource-sector employers. A Vancouver-specialised recruiter spots fit faster — culturally and technically — than a generic national pipeline.
Frequently asked questions
Where is Minted Search Group's Vancouver office?
1055 Dunsmuir Street, Suite 3300, in the heart of downtown Vancouver. Walking distance from Burrard SkyTrain and Bentall Centre.
Which industries are strongest in Vancouver?
Technology (SaaS, fintech, gaming), real estate and development, mining and resources, Asia-Pacific-facing financial services, and a meaningful film/media sector. We recruit accounting, legal, and operations talent across each.
Do you work with companies in Burnaby, Richmond, and the suburbs?
Yes — Metro Vancouver hiring is largely fluid across municipalities. We place across Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, and the North Shore.
How does BC-call versus Ontario-call portability work?
For legal placements, we screen candidates on call status and any portability requirements (Federation transfer, BC Law Society admission). Many BC employers will sponsor an Ontario-call lawyer through transfer for the right candidate.
What's the typical Vancouver placement timeline?
Shortlist in 7–10 business days. Most permanent placements close in 30–45 days from intake.
Do you place senior tech finance roles?
Yes — VP Finance, Controller, FP&A leadership, and CFO-track roles across BC-headquartered SaaS, fintech, and public tech are a meaningful share of our Vancouver work.
