Supporting every step of your private credit recruitment journey
Canada has developed a strong and steady market for private credit. The country combines established financial institutions with a growing number of alternative lenders focused on structured and direct lending. Selby Jennings works within this environment, giving us access to talent that understands Canadian regulation, local credit behaviour, and cross-border lending activity. This makes Canada a solid base for firms that need people who work with accuracy and handle detailed credit work.
Diverse pool of private credit talent
Canada attracts professionals with experience in private credit, direct lending, and debt across North American and global markets. Many candidates have worked on non bank investments and multi jurisdiction transactions, giving them a wider view of structured lending and risk. This range helps us introduce individuals who meet technical requirements and fit naturally into your organisation.
Specialised knowledge in private credit lending
Private credit in Canada calls for a clear understanding of small and medium businesses, direct lending structures, regulation, and risk frameworks. We work with candidates who can run detailed assessments, structure deals suited to Canadian and cross border markets, and manage portfolios with discipline. You gain access to people who bring informed thinking and practical skill from day one.
Personalised private credit recruitment
We shape each search around your hiring goals. Our work spans direct lending, mezzanine financing, distressed debt, and structured credit. We look at cultural fit, long-term value, and the operational needs of teams working in Canada. This approach helps you build stable groups that can support growth as the market shifts.
Long-term partnerships
