Executive Search Dating (ESD) is North America’s first and only Dating Headhunter®. Serving busy singles and professionals in Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary and Victoria, the company was founded by Paddi Rice in 2004, in Vancouver, Canada.

Executive Search Dating developed from Paddi’s lackluster dating experience upon his return to Vancouver after completing his MBA at one of Europe’s leading business schools. He grew tired of the bar scene and found online dating to be time-consuming, frustrating and ineffective.

“What I really needed,” said Paddi, “was a Dating Headhunter® for my personal life!” Seeing the need for an evolution in the dating world catering to busy, successful professionals, he founded Executive Search Dating.

Executive Search Dating is a fun, discreet and highly effective way to enhance your personal life and meet other quality single professionals in your beloved city.
