We are able to help our clients find leaders who will have a lasting impact on their organizations.
Executive Search, Functional Search, Interim Appointment, Contract Resourcing, and Talent Market Mapping are the primary vehicles by which we deliver our services. This hybrid approach to talent provision is unique in our industry, allowing our clients to leverage our expertise on both a proactive and reactive basis, as their specific business circumstances demand. We intimately understand our capabilities, as well as our limitations, and we are happy to offer free advice in situations where our solutions are less than ideal for a client’s requirement.

Executive
Search
We don’t claim to be a pure-play Executive Search firm because we do things a little bit differently. You should keep us in mind for functional or line-of-business leadership searches where value, delivery excellence, process flexibility, and 360-degree ownership of execution are necessary. Looking for your new Chief Procurement Officer…we’re a great fit. Business strategy shift calling for the confidential replacement of your Chief Supply Chain Officer…we’ll get it done for you. Line of business losing market share and a change in direction needed…call us to discuss your search for a new General Manager.

Interim
Appointments
We can help you to bridge critical gaps in executive leadership or senior technical headcount via our Interim resourcing solutions. In situations where a permanent search doesn’t necessarily make sense, or simply isn’t a possibility for one reason or another, engaging a fantastic resource for a finite amount of time is a great way to keep your business moving forward. Perhaps a valued leader has been assigned to a project overseas and a successor has not been identified…bring in an expert to bridge the gap. Maybe your rapidly growing company has recently been acquired by a Private Equity firm…identify an experienced interim CEO to help manage this transition. Has your biggest customer flagged a raw material you supply them for quality reasons…engage a senior-level Quality expert who can help to manage this challenge and salvage the relationship.

Functional
Search
Despite the number of players out there claiming to be different, we’ve learned that there’s a gap in the market when it comes to the Staffing industry. Most Executive Search firms deliver very well on true executive-level retained searches, but they tend to lose interest in searches falling below the CXO level. Often Technical Staffing firms perform nicely on the straightforward individual contributor and middle management requisitions, but they lack the expertise and experience to source highly specialized or scarce individual contributor positions, or leadership positions above middle management. Our value is that we view niche technical requisitions as challenging puzzles to be solved, and we view sub-CXO level searches as being right in our sweet spot. In short, we’re certainly not a one-stop-shop for every position you may need help with, but our depth and breadth of expertise and ability to succeed on a wide variety of search assignments is rare in the market.

Market Mapping
& Talent Pipelining
As a Talent Acquisition leader, your team’s day-to-day is probably consumed with reactive delivery on their assigned stakeholders’ immediate needs. Their bandwidth to proactively map the market in anticipation of future needs just isn’t there… and if it is… it’s extremely limited. Whether it’s in preparation for known future needs, or as part of your broader succession planning strategy, we can help you to get ahead. Our Market Mapping & Talent Pipelining services allow your team to focus on delivering for their stakeholders by having a partner proactively engaging the market on behalf of your organization. Would you see value in having a proactive roster of 25 qualified professionals to replace your VP, EHS when that critical leader retires next year? Wouldn’t it be great to have a list of 50 Plant Managers out there in the market with the expertise, leadership style, and interest to take over a recently vacated leadership position at your largest manufacturing site? In short…we can help you to get ahead of your planned and unplanned attrition.

Contract Resources
(Canada Only)
It’s highly likely that your organization has incumbent partners who provide a variety of resources on a temporary basis; in all likelihood, Technical Staffing and/or Managed Services companies take care of the bulk of your contract resourcing needs. But what do you do when an important contract requirement falls through the cracks for one reason or another? Does the following scenario sound familiar? Your Technical Staffing or Managed Services partner works on your least complex assignments first, before finally making a lacklustre and shallow attempt at your difficult and complex roles, and then finally accepting defeat and leaving you grasping at straws for a stopgap solution? Get in touch with us before this inevitable circumstance arises and let us exhaust the market to deliver the critical contract resources you need to accomplish your most important objectives.
