• A well thought-out job description will help you to align your team and the skills that are essential vs desirable in this role. It also helps to gain insight into how existing roles may change with your new hire.
• Then we develop the ideal candidate profiles and work together with you to ensure all options are explored for candidate fit, including shared priorities and values.
• Preferred experience, behaviours, competencies, career interests, lifestyle and values are explored to optimize someone’s success in your organization

Statistics show that only 25% of the workforce is ever ‘actively’ looking at any one time. Then there are the 75% of the workforce whom we call ‘passive’, not actively looking, but for the right opportunity are open to having that potentially life-changing conversation with us.

Our clients come to us because they’ve already done all the advertising and networking, yet still can’t find the talent they need. They call us for our ability to connect them to select top level professionals.

Our process is 100% collaborative. Our consultants manage every aspect of the executive search and recruitment process, providing distinctly personal service and direct accountability. Every client gains from the expertise and market reach of all of our consultants.

• We prepare a list of target companies and prospective candidates and review this with you
• Social media career advertising is developed specifically targeting your ideal candidate profile
• Comprehensive sourcing and screening is personally conducted with each short-listed candidate

On the ground floor we learn about the desired on-the-job outcomes, culture and values, to pinpoint the exact competencies, personality traits and behaviours sought for the new hire.

We start with an initial concept-of-job extrapolating this into short and long-term performance benchmarks, competencies and skill requirements.

We work with the hiring managers to hone the interview and selection process, and follow up closely during the onboarding period to ensure a smooth transition is under way.

In many cases, our client’s walk away from a hiring experience with much more than a great new employee. We provide ongoing tools, techniques and educational resources to improve hiring skills and leadership best practices that they continue to use for years to come.

• Thorough interviews are conducted with every potential candidate to assess right fit in terms of values, drive, ambition, tactical skills, accomplishments and behavioural competencies
• Those candidates who meet the screening criteria are then introduced to you, with our interview notes highlighting their strengths for overall job fit, as well as areas for development

• Psychometric Assessments
• Personality Profiling
• Documented Employment References
• RCMP Criminal Record Search & Drivers Abstract

But it doesn’t end here…
