“We needed to replace a managerial role in our facility. Joe found someone in an industry I didn’t think to look into. I would definitely recommend Rossi Search Partners and their process to find the right candidates. Their approach was very systematic while keeping in touch with us every step of the way.”

I have had the pleasure of working with Silvio and Rossi Search Partners for over 15 years, and their expertise in the logistics and supply chain industry is unmatched. Silvio's deep industry knowledge and extensive network make him an invaluable partner in finding the right talent. What truly sets Silvio apart is his remarkable insight into the market—give him a candidate's name, and chances are he already knows their background, reputation, and capabilities. His ability to understand our unique needs and consistently deliver exceptional candidates has been a game-changer for our business. I highly recommend Rossi Search Partners to anyone looking for a strategic, results-driven approach to talent acquisition in the logistics and supply chain sector.

VP Human Resources, Mircom Group of Companies
"I have known Silvio for over 15 years and have used his services on several occasions to fill key roles within various organizations I worked with. I am always impressed with the high level of insight Silvio has on the job market, the candidates for any role as well the companies they work for. Silvio is a master at building and maintaining long-lasting and mutually beneficial relationships, and this is evidenced by the fact that our relationship continues to this day, even after he has completed all his recruiting assignments. It is a pleasure to know and work with Silvio."
Steve Magirias
CEO of Drone Delivery Canada
“Silvio helped find a super-star Candidate for our Director of Supply Chain, and within a few years, she was promoted to our Vice President of Supply Chain. In the past, we attempted to work with various lower-cost recruiters, but it’s similar to needing a specialized heart doctor—you seek out someone with expertise in cardiac care who has performed numerous successful operations. That’s how I see Silvio: a true subject matter expert with a robust network of trusted supply chain leaders. His extensive experience and proven success in conducting supply chain searches make him the ideal partner for finding top-tier talent.“

Get startedFrequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an Executive Search Firm and a Recruitment Agency?
Executive Search Firm:
A proper executive search firm charges a retainer or search engagement fee upfront and commits 100% of its time to its clients. Our process is rigorous, focusing on finding the right fit through a structured recruiting methodology, with regular progress reports detailing our efforts.
We create a detailed search plan, targeting specific companies and leveraging networking, referrals, and direct outreach to identify passive, top-tier candidates. A search firm presents opportunities strategically, telling the client’s story and showcasing their employer brand.
Our approach is highly consultative and advisory, ensuring the perfect match between the client and candidate. We also assist with offer negotiations, addressing scenarios like counteroffers and resignations, to make transitions as smooth as possible.
Recruitment Agency:
A recruitment agency operates on a transactional model, aiming to fill roles as quickly as possible, often at a lower cost and higher volume. Their processes are less stringent, often relying on resumes that “look good on paper” rather than conducting in-depth assessments.
Recruitment agencies typically source candidates from LinkedIn, job boards, or their database. They may lack the resources to commit fully to challenging searches and often prioritize speed over precision. In some cases, this results in poor representation of the client, as multiple agencies compete to contact the same candidates for a role.
How long does it take to find the right leader?
The timeline depends on factors like the complexity of the role and location. On average, a search takes 45 to 60 days. However, some roles may be filled sooner, while others might take a bit longer.
Do you handle confidential searches, and how are they managed?
Yes, we handle confidential searches with utmost care. We conduct direct recruiting without revealing specific details such as the industry, location, or company. Additionally, candidates are required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) to ensure 100% confidentiality.
What happens if a search takes too long to fill?
This is extremely rare with us. Our consultative and thorough approach ensures we accurately assess and manage our clients’ expectations.
If a role is unfillable—due to factors like a below-market budget or excessive turnover in the same position—we are honest and transparent, advising the client that we may not be the right fit for their needs.
What is your geographical focus?
We have successfully conducted searches across Canada and parts of the southern United States. However, approximately 40-50% of our searches are concentrated in Ontario.
