People

People, are at the centre of every decision The Prior Resource Group makes. Understanding and meeting the needs of people - clients and job candidates alike - is Prior's key to building satisfying long-term relationships. Prior' professionals know that each organization is a unique collection of people with a distinct culture and each person has a unique skill set and personality and they build relationships upon this understanding. It's what enables Prior to help clients and job candidates find the right match.

Perspective

This quest for understanding enables The Prior Resource Group to offer clients something extra - perspective. Prior's consultants know that the capabilities of an organization are derived from its people and that people are the only enduring source of value. Prior helps clients capitalize upon the power of their people by seeking to understand what drives superior performance in their organizations and then responding to their unique needs. Prior's ongoing relationships provide clients with this key perspective that it shares with an impressive list of partners.

Performance

The final key to Prior's success is performance itself. Excellent staff - motivated, skilled and equipped with the top technology - offer cutting edge responsiveness to provide the best people for a broad range of requirements; executive, professional, managerial, technological, administrative and industrial. This combination of excellent staff and technology enables Prior to help organizations quickly attract and retain the best and the brightest from within the Technology Triangle or from around the world.

Executive

Seeking leaders for the new millennium.

"High quality executive search requires a deep, fundamental grasp of client and candidate goals and vision. Because of the depth of our relationships, this comes naturally to us"

Finding the right people.

When you hire an individual for a senior management role in your organization, it is someone who will have significant influence on all aspects of your business, from your performance in the marketplace to your corporate culture. It is critical to get the right combination of skills, experience and personal style.

Traditional recruiting methods don’t necessarily work when seeking leaders. There aren’t many CEO’s pounding the pavement looking for jobs, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t out there eager to embrace the right opportunity.

Networking and research are critical to finding the right individuals for senior assignments. Once found, our consultants use comprehensive interviews, psychological assessments and reference checks to narrow the field.

With a shared perspective.

Market knowledge is essential to being able to provide the best advice and coaching to both candidates and hiring organizations through all phases of the search.

Recognizing that the talent you seek may not always currently reside in our geographical vicinity, we are well equipped to conduct searches on a national and international basis. And our community knowledge and commitment is critical to being able to attract people and to communicate the benefit of relocating to Canada’s Technology Triangle.

Professional

Balancing skills and aptitude with style and attitude.

"It’s simple. You want the best people to join your team and those people want great jobs. We get to know you so we can sell your opportunity to the top candidates."

People are more that skill sets.

Whether in finance and accounting, sales and marketing, management, engineering, administration or production, we know when you’re looking for someone to join your team, you need to be comfortable with more than their technical skills. Our consultants conduct staffing searches with the whole person in mind.

We use traditional and nontraditional identification methods - from newspaper advertising to Internet job postings. We evaluate each candidate’s competency and personality with comprehensive assessment tools and conduct thorough reference checks. We also seek to understand each candidate’s goals and attitudes by spending time getting to know them. We need to understand what each candidate wants from the job to make the right match. And the right placement for a candidate means the right placement for you.
