Over the past two years, our recruiting practice has grown exponentially. We have completed a wide range of searches from CNC Machinists to Operations Manager and Controller roles.

As we continue to grow, we have been looking for an Executive Search partner to extend the range of our services for our clients.

I am delighted to announce our partnership with Barry Connors of Connors and Associates, Executive Search.

For over 20 years, Barry has been building client relationships and direct recruiting mid to senior level management. His search skills include finding high performance individuals and creating partnerships together with his clients, who are some of the strongest companies in the manufacturing/engineering/service arenas.

Some of Barry’s recent searches include:

Columbia International College, Director of Human Resources

Forefront Electric, SNR Project Manager/Estimator

Ontario Pride Eggs, Plant Manager, Quality Supervisor

Value for Money

Our clients often express concerns about the high cost of executive search.  Barry’s model is highly cost effective and identifies higher qualified candidates.

Other Executive search firms often work on a commission in the 18 – 25% range of base salary for each successful placement, some even 30%. Predominantly they work on a contingency basis, meaning they are paid contingent upon them successfully filling a position. Consequently, lower commissioned or difficult, time consuming placements are neglected in favour of high salaried or easier to fill placements.

Connors & Associates Overview

Barry’s approach is unique since he actually headhunts to fill your available positions.

He uses a headhunting methodology drastically reducing the placement cycle, expanding the pool of qualified and vetted candidates at less than half the cost ensuring that those presented are properly qualified and of the highest quality.

Search skills include finding high performance individuals and creating partnerships together with our clients, who are some of the strongest companies in the manufacturing/engineering/service arenas.

Specialties: Strong ability to identify, evaluate and coach those over-achievers others are unable to locate. Maintain a high energy level always and take pride in surpassing client expectations.

We welcome our partnership with Barry and look forward to introducing him to our clients. For additional details on Barry’s services, please visit Connors & Associates at www.thestrategicpartners.ca.
