Two decades in talent, across industries
Agency recruiting, in-house People leadership and building our own companies. The judgment to ask better questions, recognize what matters and advise with context.
The hires that change everything
Your next chapter starts with the right people. Hyrin finds the directors, executives and senior technical talent who can take ambitious companies there.
Directors to C-suite
Leaders across every function that runs the business.
Senior technical talent
Product managers, lead engineers and AI engineers.
Fractional People Ops
Org design and headcount planning around every hire.
US, Canada and UK
Based in Montréal, hiring for clients across all three markets, in English and French.
How we work: business instinct, recruiting craft.
The experience to advise, the drive to go and find them, and the tools and relationships to make it happen.
An entrepreneur’s perspective
We start with the business challenge, not the job description. Then we shape the role and advise on the fit, the way an operator would.
Proactive sourcing
We go to people who aren’t applying and may never have heard of you. As your ambassador in the market, we represent your business and earn their interest.
In-house AI tools and a strong network
Our own AI tools speed up research, sourcing and outreach. Sid’s network opens doors through referrals and introductions. Together they let us move fast and start the right conversations.

From two founders to a team built for growth.
