Wendy Melvin
Wendy’s recruitment career began with a large multinational firm. “I became interested in recruitment after graduating from university, but I realized early on that the industry norms weren’t for me. I needed the freedom to follow my instincts and do things differently.” With that in mind, Wendy took a leap — pairing her entrepreneurial family roots with a strong drive to build something better — and launched IT MindFinders.
“I was particularly inspired at the time by a cover of BC Business magazine featuring a sparkling white porcelain toilet and the headline, ‘What’s Your Company’s Reputation?’ That idea stuck with me. I wanted my company to have a truly great reputation, and it’s shaped the way I’ve done business from day one.” IT MindFinders celebrated its 25th anniversary on May 10, 2025, and continues to serve the Vancouver and Lower Mainland market with a thorough, relationship-driven search process and an exceptional candidate experience.
Wendy’s passion for travel has taken her to dozens of destinations around the globe, with her most cherished adventure being a five-week, Fiat-driven, pasta-eating marathon in Italy. Outside of work and travel, family, friendship, and motherhood top her list — bringing her the greatest joy and contentment.
Sarah Dickin
After completing her Bachelor of Business Degree from Simon Fraser University, Sarah spent 16 years in Human Resources positions within the financial and automotive sectors. Sarah was introduced to IT MindFinders in 2000 and soon after, became a client. “I’d worked with external recruitment firms prior to meeting Wendy and soon appreciated that IT MindFinders’ approach to the process and experience for those involved was very different.” In 2013, an opportunity presented itself for Sarah to join the IT MindFinders team and she’s never looked back. “I wanted a challenging career that also allowed me the flexibility to spend more time with my family. Our searches are always very challenging so it’s exciting to help a company find their ‘holy grail’ person. We have fun, no day is ever the same, I constantly meet incredible people, and it’s very gratifying to place somebody in a role they love.”
Outside of her work life, Sarah is VP of Dispute Resolutions and Personal Assistant to two “spirited” kids, a hard-working husband and an overly affectionate Bernedoodle named Molly. With this has come a much deeper appreciation of wine and needless to say, precious time to herself.
