Executive & Professional Search

In today’s competitive business environment, attracting top talent to your organization is critical to your ongoing success. However, identifying quality candidates and marketing your organization’s career opportunities is time and labour intensive. To further complicate matters, it can be challenging to effectively approach employed individuals with new opportunities. Today, many organizations are recognizing the value in investing in specialized external expertise to help them find the best people.

MNP’s experienced consultants work closely with you to develop and implement a seamless recruitment and selection process that will result in qualified individuals who fit the culture and environment you have created.

We offer our clients:

• A trusted business advisor relationship. We work closely with you to understand the vision, strategies, goals and objectives of your organization.
• Senior level resources dedicated to your search process. We understand the roles, requirements, expectations and accountabilities of senior level positions and have extensive experience working with executive and management level candidates.
• An effective combination of local, regional, national and international sourcing that is targeted but widespread. Comprehensive research and sourcing is the core of our approach and is complemented by an extensive database and creative advertising methods that get results.
• A highly effective position profile based on the clear identification and description of critical and desired knowledge, skills and behaviours. Our search process is based on what you need. The profile is an excellent marketing tool for your organization, the employment opportunity and the community where the individual will work and live.
• Extensive and comprehensive assessment processes that ensure the right people are presented to you at each stage. This includes a comprehensive reference checking process on all finalist candidates with a minimum of four relevant business referees, and a 45-minute to one-hour discussion with each referee.
• Strong engagement management and a comprehensive status reporting process. We will continuously update you through the process so you know what is happening at all times.
