ABOUT WAGISHA SINGH
I believe empathy is the most powerful recruitment tool we have. It’s the reason I chose this profession because recruitment is not just about filling roles. It’s about understanding people, building trust, and creating long-term partnerships that allow every individual and every organization to thrive.As a Talent Consultant specializing in Insurance, I support brokerages, MGAs, and insurers across Ontario with strategic hiring solutions. My focus is on finding exceptional talent in Personal Lines, Commercial Lines, Claims, Underwriting, and Client Service and helping teams build the capacity, performance, and client experience they need to grow.If you’re hiring insurance talent or exploring new career opportunities within P&C, I’d love to connect.With an MBA, my CHRP in progress, and several years of cross-industry recruitment experience, I bring a balanced approach to hiring: business acumen, HR expertise, and an empathy-driven understanding of people. This has helped me consistently exceed KPIs, earn recognition such as Top Gun Recruiter (Canada-wide) and 100% Club Status, and build a highly engaged talent network across Canada.Over the years, I’ve- Sourced, evaluated, and placed talent across multiple industries- Partnered with organizations to design hiring processes that improve productivity and retention- Built strong candidate pipelines through proactive outreach and relationship-first recruitment- Advocated for candidates by ensuring clarity, transparency, and genuine support throughout their journey- Strengthened teams by aligning candidate competencies, motivations, and cultural fit with organizational needs.What sets me apart is my commitment to the human side of recruitment. I listen deeply, uncover personal stories, and help people identify opportunities where they feel purpose and belonging. I believe careers shape lives and the strongest hiring decisions are made through a combination of skill evaluation, empathy, and an understanding of organizational culture.What drives me?Empathy. Curiosity. Quality. And building workplaces where people thrive not just work.Outside of work, I’m passionate about community and education. I volunteer with the Toronto Public Library’s Leading to Reading program as a Mentor, support ISACA initiatives, and enjoy sharing insights on leadership, emotional intelligence, and the evolving world of work.
