Waterloo Executive Search is
a boutique retained executive search firm
focused on delivering exceptional
product management and engineering talent
to private equity backed and growth stage SaaS businesses.

Why Waterloo?

There is no shortage of executive search firms serving the technology industry. As you evaluate
your options, consider the following questions relative to your current / potential search partners:

  1. Do they have the technology / operating expertise to be able to deliver best-in-class candidates?

  2. Are they focused on your project or is yours one of many searches the recruiter is conducting?

  3. Are their terms flexible to meet your needs and are their fees tied to their performance?

Waterloo Executive Search takes a different approach. Our promise to our clients:
