Johnson Executive Search began in 1996 as Sellutions Inc., a company that specialized in executive recruiting, training and consulting specifically for Sales, Marketing and Customer Service. Since 2004, we have worked almost exclusively in the executive search area, with a strong focus on Sales and Marketing. And so, in 2010, a new company was formed. We work with corporate and individual clients in Ottawa and across North America in both the private and public sector becoming one of the most reliable executive search firms in Ottawa.

It helps to assure a good fit between the candidate and the sales position. When hiring new salespeople or recruiting sales managment staff, use this tool to make sure you don't put a square peg in a round hole.
