Great Leadership
The top executives in SEP are hard working, and incredibly humble and down to earth. Never have I seen such a group of people who are genuine and always energetic.
Work Life Balance
SEP is very open to remote work and flexible hours, as well as work from home opportunities. Most people only work 9-5, not like a typical agency where you are killing yourself with 60+ hour work weeks.

There’s always an opportunity to make your own place in the organization based on your own passions and where you feel most rewarded. Every employees input is valued, with tons of opportunity to share your own insights.
Where You Will Work
- Enjoy working at an office where you can mingle in the cafeteria or enjoy many social and charitable events.
- There are a variety of walkable restaurants which turns picking a team lunch location into a high-consideration, strategic decision.
- Getting your fitness fix is easy with a Goodlife across the street.
- Reduce your time spent running errands throughout the week – there’s a large Loblaws and full mall all at the same intersection that’ll have what you need.
- Live downtown? No problem. SEP is located right beside a GO station and offers partial work-from-home options to make your work life balance even better
Why Search Engine People
At Search Engine People (SEP), our core belief is that it is possible to build an environment where all stakeholders benefit from a relationship, and that any situation where one party loses at the expense of another winning, is short term thinking. Accordingly, SEP’s over-riding mantra is Win-Win-Win. We believe that in any engagement, Clients must win, employees must win, and the company itself must win! Any departure from this state means long term relationships are not possible. This mantra guides all company decisions and actions and speaks to the tremendous success and growth of our firm. While Win-Win-Win defines our core belief, our approach to ensure that everyone wins from the relationship is a commitment to:
- Process: we build processes to ensure that we bake proven practices and all key learnings, into a consistent solution with predictable results.
- Hire the Best Employees: SEP cannot be the best without having exceptionally talented and passionate individuals committed to making a real difference, and a desire for action to actually make it happen.
- Specialization: to have specialists in each facet of digital marketing, and actually BE the best. Specialization permits SEPers to eat, sleep, and breathe their particular passions, to become industry experts, and ultimately to LOVE what they do.
- Develop Leading Edge Technologies: we believe that in order to have a role in the future of our industry, we need to redefine it. Accordingly, we spend significant resources to develop proprietary technologies to create efficiencies, give unprecedented insights and competitive advantages to clients, and to automate the boring, mundane, repetitive tasks that ultimately allow talented SEPers to focus on what they do best.
- An Amazing Wacky Culture: While Win-Win-Win is our mantra, our culture reinforces our belief that each party has to win from the relationship. It’s fun yet focused. Nerdy, but professional. Genius yet humble. We enjoy each other, but aren’t afraid to challenge. The word ‘status quo’ does not exist at SEP.
