Executive Referral Partnerships & Recruiting

Canada/Toronto

JOB OVERVIEW

Plan A Technologies is seeking an exceptional relationship builder with a strong background in executive recruiting to lead and expand our Executive Referral Partner Program.

This role centers on building relationships with accomplished executives, technology leaders, advisors, and industry veterans. These individuals join Plan A’s referral network and can earn ongoing revenue by introducing companies that become Plan A clients.

Your primary responsibility will be to recruit outstanding referral partners and keep them engaged over the long term. You will create a high-touch experience that makes it easy and rewarding for busy executives to identify opportunities, make introductions, and remain active members of the Plan A network.

The referral network is also an important source of talent. Some partners may eventually become advisors or transition into full-time leadership roles at Plan A. You will develop a strong understanding of the people in our network and continually identify individuals who could become valuable additions to the company.

You will also lead a small number of strategically important internal executive recruiting assignments—typically two to three C-suite or VP-level hires per year—working closely with the VP of Talent and Plan A leadership.

This is a highly relationship-driven role for someone who is comfortable engaging senior executives, building trust quickly, recognizing exceptional talent, and maintaining valuable professional relationships over time.

JOB RESPONSIBILITY

Build Our Executive Referral Network

Identify and recruit C-suite executives, senior technology leaders, advisors, and other well-connected industry professionals into Plan A’s referral partner program.

Use executive recruiting techniques, direct outreach, referrals, networking, and creative sourcing strategies to expand the network.

Clearly communicate the program’s value proposition, including the opportunity for partners to generate meaningful ongoing income through successful client introductions.

Create a polished onboarding experience that gives new partners a clear understanding of Plan A, our ideal clients, and how the referral program works.

Evaluate partners for both their referral potential and their potential to become future advisors or full-time Plan A leaders.

Drive Partner Engagement and Retention:

Recruiting partners is only the beginning. A major measure of success will be keeping them engaged months and years after they join.

Manage the network as a high-value executive community with personalized, responsive communication.

Develop engagement strategies that keep Plan A top of mind without overwhelming busy executives.

Provide simple tools—including ideal client profiles, conversation starters, case studies, and introduction templates—that make it easier for partners to identify opportunities.

Share partner success stories, effective introduction strategies, and other best practices.

Develop communications, virtual events, executive roundtables, partner spotlights, and other initiatives that strengthen the community.

Track partner activity, identify declining engagement, and proactively reconnect with inactive partners.

Develop an understanding of partners’ backgrounds, capabilities, interests, and career goals to identify potential future Plan A hires.

Coordinate with Plan A leadership and business development teams to ensure partner introductions are handled quickly and professionally.

Lead Select Executive Recruiting Assignments:

For approximately two or three senior leadership positions per year, you will work with the VP of Talent and Plan A leadership to:

Develop candidate profiles and sourcing strategies for C-suite, VP, and other critical leadership positions.

Identify, approach, assess, and cultivate exceptional passive candidates.

Consider members of the Referral Partner network as a potential pipeline for appropriate leadership opportunities.

Manage the recruiting process from initial outreach through interviews, references, negotiations, and closing.

Continue building a broader network of executives who could become future Plan A leaders, advisors, or referral partners.

EXPERIENCE

Several years of executive recruiting experience, with demonstrated success sourcing and engaging C-suite and VP-level executives.

Exceptional sourcing and networking skills, including the ability to identify hard-to-reach executives and build relationships through thoughtful direct outreach.

Strong relationship-management skills and the ability to maintain professional relationships over long periods of time.

Excellent judgment in assessing executive talent and identifying people who could become valuable to Plan A in multiple capacities.

A polished executive presence and confidence communicating with CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, founders, investors, and other senior leaders.

Outstanding written and verbal English communication skills.

Strong business judgment and the ability to understand and articulate Plan A’s technology services and value proposition.

Strong organizational skills and experience using CRM, recruiting, or partner-management systems.

A proactive, creative mindset and the ability to operate independently in a remote environment.

Especially Valuable Experience

Executive recruiting experience within technology, software development, IT services, consulting, or professional services.

Experience managing referral, partner, alumni, membership, ambassador, or executive community programs.

Experience working closely with senior executives, investors, advisors, or similar professional networks.

Experience developing executive communications, events, webinars, or roundtables.

Familiarity with referral commissions, incentive programs, or CRM/PRM platforms.
