Our Story Starts With Recovery—And Ends With Results

Built on Grit, Backed by Experience

TBH isn’t just a business—it’s a comeback story. Our founder left corporate, embraced recovery, and built a headhunting firm that’s grounded in execution, not ego.

That same mindset drives how we work: no fluff, no fake urgency—just honest-to-goodness follow-through.

Our Philosophy - Play the Tape Forward

Recovery taught us one thing above all else: play the tape forward. Don’t just look at today. Look at what happens next. That’s how we recruit. We don’t just ask if someone can do the job—we ask if they’ll thrive in the job. We assess skills, yes, but we also read people: their energy, their drive, their values. That’s why our hires last. That’s why our clients stay.

Our Core Values

Radical Honesty – We say what we mean. Even when it’s uncomfortable. Follow-Through – We don’t overpromise. We execute. Curiosity Over Assumption – We ask better questions. We listen harder. Grit & Grace – We get the job done—and we don’t lose the human element. Progress Over Perfection – We care about growth, not surface-level success.

Kathy was great to work with! One email and phone call went a long ways. She is very personable, efficient and a realist! I was done browsing opportunities, but Kathy's enthusiasm and knowledge on a particular company changed my outlook. She has the skillset and network to piece together candidates with the right companies.

I first met Kathy 11 years ago when I was applying for a job in Alberta. Kathy was my first point of contact with the company and made me feel like I was her only client. She was never in a rush and was very informative about the company and the role. I immediately felt a strong connection with her and knew that she was upfront and honest. I would strongly recommend Kathy if you are looking for a personable and honest recruiter to help you transition to your next role!

Working with Kathy has been one of the most refreshing experiences I have ever had with a recruiter. From the day we spoke, I could tell this would end in a job offer! She was so passionate about placing me in the right organization. Its not everyday that you meet someone who genuinely cares about you and your goals. Kathy is more than a recruiter, shes a mentor and friend. Hands down, simply the best!
