I Saw How Frustrating Hiring Was—So I Set Out to Fix It.

In today’s fast-moving business world, hiring the right people isn’t just important—it’s essential for long-term success. But too often, recruitment feels like a frustrating, time-consuming process with endless resumes, mismatched candidates, and unnecessary delays. I knew there had to be a better way. That’s why I, Emily Maher, started Marmalade Recruitment in 2016—to make hiring easier and more effective for businesses in Greater Vancouver.

For me, recruitment isn’t just business—it’s personal. I’ve seen firsthand how companies struggle to find the right people and how candidates often feel like just another name in a database. I wanted to create a recruitment agency that puts relationships and real insights first—one that truly understands both sides of hiring. With over 25 years of experience working with Fortune 500 companies and startups alike, I know that recruitment should be about more than just filling a role—it should be about finding the right match for long-term success.

At Marmalade Recruitment, we do things differently. Our process is built on efficiency, transparency, and real insights. Instead of overwhelming you with stacks of resumes, we provide video introductions, detailed profile analysis reports, and a seamless candidate presentation that gives you everything you need in one place. Our approach saves you time, reduces stress, and ensures that when you meet a candidate, you already have a deep understanding of who they are beyond their resume.

What makes us different isn’t just our process—it’s our commitment to results. With a 98% placement success rate and one of the strongest placement guarantees in the industry, we don’t just fill positions—we help businesses grow. Whether you’re hiring for accounting, finance, HR, or administrative roles, we bring the expertise and connections to make finding top-tier talent easier and faster.

At Marmalade Recruitment, we’re not just building teams—we’re helping businesses thrive by connecting them with the right people. As we continue to grow, my mission stays the same: to turn hiring from a frustrating task into a powerful tool for success.
