Recruitment

In today’s competitive workplace, every position is crucial. Every hiring decision is important. Hiring the wrong person can cost your business valuable time and money. 

High performance employees are a critical success factor in the profitability of your business — so the first step must be selecting the right employee for each and every position in your company.

That’s where I come in

I have been trusted by leaders across multitudinous industries for their talent acquisition and recruitment needs at the upper management and executive levels. My philosophy is grounded in partnership, creating relationships with my clients so that I might best understand their current and ensuing needs, so that I can serve them today and tomorrow.

Having worked with powerful organizations such as KPMG, Grant Thornton, McMaster University and Manulife Financial, I know that learning about company culture is the first step to defining, and then filling, each required position. I am skilled, instinctive and intuitive when it comes to seeking and closing the right candidate, which leads to the creation and maintenance of thriving, highly engaged teams.

We hired targetHR to work with us to identify a key player on our team. Manie worked with me to identify the needs within our business and then took steps to clearly define the role and the deliverables. Initially, I was hesitant about this — however, upon reflection, I now understand this is a critical step in the process. Her approach was different in that she developed behaviourally-based interview questions with an evaluation matrix that guided our assessment of candidates. Her five magic questions were brilliant and gave me confidence in our final decision.
