I connect Canada's most forward-thinking organizations with exceptional HR talent — from C-suite people leaders to the niche specialists no one else can find.
"I don't just fill roles. I match vision with talent."
I'm the Director of Professional Services at isgSearch — a leading North American firm whose clients include BMO, OMERS, Sunlife, Interac, and Brookfield. After almost 7 years building my expertise at Randstad's HR specialization team, I know this market deeply and have built a reputation for finding candidates your competition hasn't found yet.
From a CHRO to a Workday implementation consultant, from a bilingual labour relations specialist to a people analytics lead — if it's an HR role in Canada, I can fill it.
My clients are HR leaders, CEOs, and People teams who need a partner that understands their culture, their gaps, and the difference between a good hire and a transformational one.
Before I’m a recruiter, I’m a wife and proud mother of two incredible boys. Family is at the core of who I am and shapes the way I approach my work — with integrity, empathy, and a long-term perspective.
Balancing family life and a career in recruitment has reinforced the value of trust, meaningful relationships, and finding the right fit. I believe great placements go beyond qualifications; they create opportunities for people and organizations to thrive together.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and sons, focusing on the people and moments that matter most.
Senior leadership is my specialty, but my expertise spans the full HR function. From emerging talent to executive-level roles, I partner with organizations across Canada to find the right HR professionals for their needs.
The senior HR leaders who shape culture, influence strategy, and drive organizational success.
The HR technology professionals who optimize systems, streamline processes, and enable data-driven people decisions.
The professionals who shape compensation strategies that drive engagement, performance, and retention.
The fastest-growing corner of HR — data literacy, workforce intelligence, and AI adoption.
The specialists who mitigate risk, ensure compliance, and foster safe, productive workplaces.
The professionals who develop talent, lead change, and strengthen organizational effectiveness.
A relationship-first approach that delivers candidates your competition hasn't found yet.
A deep-dive strategy call to understand your organization, culture, the role's impact, and what "great" looks like for you.
I map the talent landscape — active and passive — and build a targeted shortlist of professionals aligned to your needs.
You receive a carefully vetted shortlist of candidates, each aligned to your requirements, culture, and long-term goals.
I manage the offer process, support onboarding, and stay connected post-placement. My low fall-off rate speaks for itself.
Real words from the HR leaders and organizations I've had the privilege of working with.
"Fatema took the time to truly understand our culture. The candidate she placed has been transformational for our People team. I wouldn't go anywhere else for senior HR search."
"What sets Fatema apart is her network and her honesty. She told us what the market looked like, set realistic expectations, and delivered a shortlist we were excited about."
Have we worked together? I'd be so grateful for a few words about your experience.
Whether you're actively looking or simply open to the right opportunity, I'd love to know about you.
I work with HR professionals at all levels — from emerging leaders to seasoned executives. Submit your profile and I'll reach out when the right opportunity arises.
