Testimonials
Over the last few years, I have had the pleasure to work with RainMaker on several occasions to assist in expanding RioCan’s legal department. In all cases, the searches were extensive, thoughtful and resulted in an exceptional slate of candidates to be interviewed and, ultimately, selected. Adam truly understood our unique business needs and, as importantly, the right “fit” for the organization in every case. His knowledge of the real estate market, excellent judgment and highest level of service combined to deliver outstanding results in each case. RainMaker has been a valuable and longstanding partner of RioCan, which I expect to continue well into the future.

Testimonials
I have partnered with RainMaker Group on many successful searches across two organizations for almost 15 years. In a “buyer’s” market, Adam and his team have been invaluable in assessing the numerous talented candidates he has sourced to find the right fit for my team and organization. In a more challenging “seller’s” market, Adam has very successfully reached into his deep network of high-quality candidates with whom he’s cultivated personal relationships, to find us an exceptional new colleague. Adam is a responsive and trusted advisor who “tells it like it is” and he takes the time to understand your organization and your specific needs. Without exception, candidates speak very positively about their experience working with and being advised by the RainMaker team; and that includes myself as a former job seeker placed by RainMaker into my first in-house role. “

It was a pleasure dealing with Adam and Anne on our search for Vice President, General Counsel. They did a thorough search including discussions with other senior executives at Apotex, and presented a first class slate of candidates. Due to their attention to detail and awareness of the personalities involved, we could have gone with any of the top candidates. The search was handled with a high degree of professionalism as well a sense of humor, both of which were greatly appreciated. We are very pleased with the outcome of the search, and would deal with Rainmaker again without hesitation.
