Better leaders. Better cultures. Better results.
North America’s culture intelligence firm. For 23 years, we’ve combined executive search, professional recruitment, and leadership and culture advisory with the data and best practices of Canada’s and America’s Most Admired Cultures programs. Now, powered by Waterstone Culture AI, we help you find better leaders, build better cultures, and deliver better results.
What is Culture Intelligence?
Culture intelligence is what happens when 23 years of executive search and advisory experience meets the largest dataset of admired cultures in North America — and an AI engine built to put both to work for you. It’s how we move beyond gut-feel hiring and one-size-fits-all advice to assess fit, build leadership teams, and shape cultures with evidence on our side.
A high-performance culture boosts more than your energy.
According to our clients, it boosts results.
We’ve had clients who:

Revenue CAGR
Quadrupled their

Improved their eNPS, and much more.
Our Recruit4Fit process doesn’t just find you a great leader. It also finds out what makes you great — identifying the trademark behaviours of your culture and its top performers. And when you know those traits, you can not only hire for them, but also cultivate and model them for even higher performance by everyone else.
At Waterstone, our leadership and culture advisory services help you measure leadership and culture so that you can make informed decisions that will guide you in creating better leaders, better cultures, and better results. Together, we create your unique culture blueprint and equip you to build your ideal culture.
