Franchising

Our Franchising specialty practice is spearheaded by Pat Laforet, one of most experienced recruitment consultants with more than 30 years in the talent business. He has developed a particular niche in a vertical that is underrepresented and with exceptional recruiting hard to find.

Pat has had two stints with Stoakley-Stewart Consultants. In 2006 he was presented with an opportunity to go to Africa and become the Country Manager of a Medical Mission working in the rural areas of Malawi. After 5 years of growth and expansion, Pat and his wife returned to Canada and accepted a Director Level position with Habitat for Humanity Toronto. He returned to re-join the firm in January 2014.

Since then, he has built a successful Franchising recruitment practice and has consistently been a top producer with our firm, year over year.
