We find candidates you won’t find on job boards

We recruit through deep human networks and real relationships — not job boards or algorithms. That lets us reach passive candidates, where a lot of the strongest talent sits. We partner with you to understand your business, culture, and exact requirements, then deliver only the talent that truly fits.

  • Only highly qualified, thoroughly vetted candidates — so we never waste your time or pull you away from your real work. Our job is to make your job easier.
  • Confidential & high-profile searches — including tough-to-fill roles for highly selective hiring teams
  • Strategic & large-scale hiring initiatives across North America and globally
  • Temporary staffing needs when you need qualified people quickly
  • Contingency & retained searches — flexible engagement models that fit how you prefer to hire
  • RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing) — embedded recruiting support that scales with your hiring volume

About Top Dog

Over 20 years of perfect matches

We got our start in IT at the beginning of the Dot Com era. As we grew, we expanded and built specialized recruiting teams focused on Manufacturing, Finance, Engineering, Energy, Life Sciences, Construction & Real Estate, Transportation, Defense and Aerospace, Management Consulting, and more. We also built a specialized team that focuses exclusively on all areas of Cybersecurity. We work with startups to Fortune 50 companies and everything in between.

Our approach is deeply consultative. We partner with clients to understand their business and culture, and we invest time with candidates to learn their goals and strengths. That human understanding is what makes our placements successful.

“We believe that getting to know the people we work with makes us more successful in presenting the right opportunities and candidates to each other.”
