ottawa executive search firm: recruiting done differently
in Executive Search… It’s About Who – Not How Many
The goal in an executive search isn’t to find the best talent currently looking for work, or at least it shouldn’t be.
What it should be: Finding the best talent. Period.
We fuse strategy, values, and behavioral science with ‘guerrilla marketing tactics‘ to deliver what others say cannot be done, through a uniquely open, honest, and transparent process.
Perry-Martel’s Inside-Out Approach™ helps organizations successfully address the
New Recruitment Paradigm.
"It's just a great way to do business"
