A Vancouver-founded recruitment agency placing marketing, communications and creative talent for employers across British Columbia and Alberta.
Smart, Savvy + Associates is a recruitment agency headquartered in Vancouver, BC, that places marketing, communications and creative talent for employers across Western Canada. Founded in 2007, the firm works with companies throughout British Columbia and Alberta, including Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island, the Okanagan, Edmonton and Calgary. Its mandate is narrow by design: marketing, communications and creative roles, rather than generalist staffing.
The firm fills positions from entry-level co-ordinators to C-suite executives. Placements are made with an emphasis on both skills and cultural fit, which involves understanding each client's team dynamics and organisational context alongside the requirements of the role itself, rather than matching résumés to job descriptions.
The team is composed of marketers-turned-recruiters, giving it practitioner familiarity with the functions it hires for. The company describes itself as Western Canada's premier recruitment agency and reports a long record of placements, though the figure is not quantified. Its stated approach is relationship-led, with an emphasis on sustained connections with both clients and candidates.
