About

Founder of Alynd.ca and Integria Consulting. I've spent my career helping organizations hire exceptional talent and saw the same challenges repeatedly: inconsistency, misalignment, bias, and poor candidate experiences. I'm building Alynd to bring structure, clarity, and consistency to every hire while helping organizations strengthen their employer brand and create better experiences for candidates and hiring teams alike.

👭 Do you filter your friends?

I guess it s not just me...

We all have friends who inspire us, challenge us, and help us reach our goals. We can count them as part of our building team too =D

But alongside those friends, there are others who drain your energy, fill your brain with unnecessary info and leave you unable to continue working as you planned after meeting them!

Exec search founder building the fix for broken hiring

Hi everyone! I'm Sam

I run Integria Consulting, an executive search firm in Montreal. Over my career I've kept seeing the same pattern: hiring doesn't break for lack of talent. It breaks before the first candidate is even contacted, because the recruiter and hiring leader were never truly aligned on the role.

That's what we built Alynd (pronounced "aligned") to fix. It's an upstream, AI-powered workflow that locks in alignment at intake, flags bias early, and provides transparency around the scope of the role in the form of a candidate-facing brief.

We're launching soon!

Do you work on weekends?

For me, I finish the tasks I didn t complete during the week, then try to get ahead on a few things.

And I always finish my weekend by preparing my tasks for the next week.

I know some founders completely disconnect on weekends, but I ve never really managed to do that

What about you? Do you work on weekends or completely switch off?
