Our work is demanding, fast-paced and intellectually engaging, but we believe it should also be enjoyable. We work in a close-knit team where conversations are direct, ideas are openly discussed, and there is always room for humour along the way. Long hours on a search, tough mandates and challenging client situations are part of the job, but so are shared wins, team lunches, spontaneous debates and the satisfaction of closing a difficult assignment.

We take our work seriously, but we do not take ourselves too seriously. The energy at James Douglas comes from working with people who are driven, curious and enjoy what they do.
