How We’ve Evolved

As a pioneer in the human capital industry and 4th generation entrepreneur, Valerie Phelps founded The Phelps Group in 1986, which soon became one of Canada’s leading Executive Search and Career Transition Firms.

With each member of the family team contributing a unique set of skills and capabilities integral to the success of the firm, Phelps has remained intricately connected to the communities and people it serves. Phelps stakes its reputation on the business values it has honed through its history.

From Thunder Bay to Toronto, and now internationally, the foundation of Phelps remains inseparable from the caring, trust, responsibility and respect with which it began.
