TESTIMONIALS

J Golden - Candidate

Mark P. - National Sales

Manager

Allow me at this time to thank you for your professional assistance in securing

an offer of employment. I have been very impressed with their professional ap-

proach and actions to keep me informed during the process.

We were in the need for a Nurse Practitioner and a Dual Sonographer and had our internal recruitment teams looking

for months with no success. We signed an agreement with 100K and they assigned a project team to our business and

within 2 weeks we had 3 to 4 pre-screened and qualified candidates for both positions. We made offers and had the

positions filled within 3 weeks of working with Leighton Part-ners. I would highly recommend them as they were extreme-ly effective, efficient and professional in delivering the exact

people to fill our critical positions.

We are very pleased with the service and quality of candidates provided by Leighton Partners. They were committed to providing us with experienced and qualified candidates required by our organ-ization. No matter how great the challenge we

presented Leighton Partners they were able to get the job done in a quick and efficient method.

In a very competitive marketplace such as ours, technically proficient employees that can lead are critical to our success.

They can also be hard to find. Leighton Partners has demon-strated a willingness to invest significant effort into under-standing our business to best ensure they are bringing us

the best available talent to match our requirements. I would highly recommend Leighton Partners and their team to an

employer looking to fill key positions.

David Y - General Manager

To sum up my experience in one word dealing with Leighton Partners, «perfection». As a candidate searching for employment, They worked extremely hard

to professionally match my work experience and education with the right employer. They spent many hours negotiating an excellent employment offer that

was acceptable to both parties. Leighton Partners really went to bat for me as a candidate and I am very pleased with the whole recruiting experience by Leigh-

ton Partners.

Leighton Partners are very know-ledgeable and great to work with. Always available, follows through

and delivers on time.

As General Manager in Calgary I had the pleasure of working with Leighton Partners and their account

executive during several occasions when we were hiring for Technical / Outside Sales positions. They provided

excellent support; firstly by listening to our needs, and secondly by pre-qualifying candidates so that the candidates we interviewed were good potential

from the outset. Leighton Partners made the process efficient and effective.

The Cream of the Crop Rises to the Top»... a cliché per-haps, but not when you are talking about the team of Leigh-

ton Partners. I have worked with many recruiting firms across North American throughout my career and none have come

close to exceeding my expectations, through exceptional communications, solid integrity and professionalism, like I

have experienced with Leighton Partners.

The 10-Step Leighton Partners Executive Search Process

Job Description and Def-inition of “Must Haves” and “Wish List”

We understand the differences between the two items. We will assist in managing your expectations and strive to find the right-fit candidates that match all of your “must haves” and as many “wish list” items as possible.1

Define the Project Time-lines and Urgency of the Search

Our process and resources enable us to gain a competitive advantage over other search firms. Your urgency drives the process. We work together to successfully meet your timelines and exchange commitments to keep each other accountable for the process.

2Establish the Hiring Process

A defined and agreed upon hiring process ensures success. From start to finish, knowing the logistics, and what to expect, aids in securing the best fit candidate. An interview itinerary and the decision process timelines are critical to the fulfillment process.

3Source and Recruit Candidates

We are well-trained in the art of recruiting, and have a targeted approach in providing a short list of qualified candidates quickly. We utilize our net-work resources and our many years of experience in recruiting to attract the hard-to-find candidates.

8

Screen CandidatesWe utilize behavioral-based interviewing techniques and listen carefully to our candidates’ motivations, concerns and issues. This is a very disruptive process, and we identify all of the issues or concerns up front in order to avoid any surprises on the back end, ultimately securing the candidate of choice for you.5

Present Candidates to Hiring Manager

Our focus is to understand your needs, problems and goals clearly so we will provide candidates that exceed your expectations. Once we establish mutual commitment, we will identify qualified candidates for each search within a timely manner.

6Prepare and Debrief Candi-dates and Hiring Manager

We don’t want you to hire a piece of paper; we want you to hire a candidate that possess-es the right balance of technical and interpersonal skills. The key is to be proactive and perform telephone and on-site interviews efficiently. We will assist in the logistics of the interview process and be certain that our candidates are well-prepared, along with identi-fying any crucial information that the Hiring Managers should be aware of.

7Define the Project Timelines and Ur-gency of the Search

Critical items are addressed with our candidates prior to receiving an offer to ensure a solid understanding of the candidate’s goals and desires. We also de-fine the compensation and relocation issues in order to provide our clients with timely information to ensure the offer will be accepted. It’s nice to extend an offer, but what you really want is an acceptance.

8Assist Candidate through Resignation Process

We take the counteroffer very seriously. We review this concept multiple times throughout the placement process. We walk our candidates through the resig-nation process and make certain they know what to expect. 9

Follow Up to Assist in the Integration Process

Retention is one of the most important issues in today’s global and changing economy. We will follow up with both you and your new hire to assure the tran-sition goes smoothly. Our relationship with our clients goes beyond the search and fulfillment process.
