What Feldman Daxon Partners does

Feldman Daxon Partners Inc. is a privately held Canadian professional services firm founded in 1991 and headquartered in Toronto, Ontario. The firm operates three integrated service lines: Career Transition & Outplacement, Executive Search, and Coaching & Leadership Development, sold primarily on a retained or enterprise-custom basis to corporate, government, healthcare, education, financial services, and non-profit clients across Canada. The firm differentiates on a high-touch, full-time-counsellor model (unlimited 1:1 support) and on its brand positioning as Canada's longest-standing national provider in these three combined human capital categories.

The firm's underlying technology is the Career Chaser online portal — a web-based, multimedia career management platform that delivers videos, podcasts, written tutorials, Fast Classes e-learning modules, an Interview Simulator, a Resume Builder, and a Resume360 resume scoring tool (50+ checks) to career transition participants. Service delivery is also anchored by a proprietary coaching framework, the Define, Assess & M.O.V.E. methodology, applied across executive coaching and leadership development engagements. Psychometric assessments (DiSC, Hogan, MBTI, Birkman, LEA, EQ-i, Strong Interest Inventory) supplement both search and coaching workflows.

The revenue model is project- and engagement-based professional services fees: retainer-based executive search fees, customized outplacement program fees that vary by participant seniority, and individually scoped executive coaching engagements, including organization-sponsored contracts. Sales motion is consultative and relationship-driven, targeting HR leaders, CEOs, and boards. Geographic reach combines direct Canadian offices in 24 cities with global delivery capability through the firm's exclusive Canadian partnership with OI Global Partners (225 offices in 28 countries, 1,000+ consultants). Headcount is reported in the 11–50 employee range.
