We know these sectors because we've worked in them.

Groupe Caledon was founded in Montréal by two professionals with deep roots in the energy, heavy industrial, and mining sectors. These industries are complex, technical, and demanding — and there are not enough specialized recruiters who truly understand them. We built Groupe Caledon to fill that gap, bringing sector-specific expertise and a relationship-first approach to every search we conduct.

  • Co-Founder & Partner, Groupe Caledon

    Conor has been connecting exceptional talent with leading organizations since 2015, building his career across agency, client-side, and leadership roles in some of the most demanding sectors in the market. Starting as a recruiter placing engineers, project managers, and construction specialists, he grew into sales and business development before moving client-side and into team leadership.

    Wanting a deeper understanding of the client experience, Conor moved in-house with a fast-growing construction company before taking on a leadership role with an industry leader in engineering services — where he built and managed a team of recruiters serving the energy, heavy industrial, and infrastructure markets.

    Known for his ability to build trust quickly and bring calm, clear-headed thinking to fast-moving situations, Conor co-founded Groupe Caledon to create something he believed the market needed — a specialized recruitment firm with sector depth that understood the unique challenges clients face in attracting and hiring top talent.

 

What we stand for

  • We take the time to understand your organization, your project, and the expertise you need. Every mandate we take on is treated with the same rigour and care, whether it's a single placement or an ongoing partnership.

  • Honesty — We believe in open, transparent communication. With our clients, with our candidates, and with each other.

    Integrity — We hold ourselves to a high standard. Our clients and candidates trust us with important decisions, and we treat that trust with the respect it deserves.

    Hard work — Good recruitment takes effort and the industries we serve are demanding. The projects are complex, the stakes are high, and the right hire matters. We match that standard with the effort we put into every search.

    Teamwork — The best outcomes happen when everyone is working together. We see ourselves as an extension of your team, not just a vendor.

    Service with meaning — At the end of the day, the work we do helps build the projects and communities that matter. That's not something we take lightly.

  • Founded in Montréal, Groupe Caledon was born out of a simple observation — the energy, industrial, and infrastructure sectors are complex, demanding, and deeply important, and they deserve recruiters who truly understand them.

    With that belief at its core, and with the values we'd want in any partner we work with, we built Groupe Caledon with a clear purpose — to create a recruitment firm that leads with honesty, works hard for the people it serves, and takes genuine pride in the connections it makes. Not just placing candidates, but helping build the teams behind the projects that shape the world around us.
