Gerald Walsh - An Atlantic Canada Leader in Recruitment, Career Transition and Human Resources

Benefits of Using an Executive Search Firm

More candidates, better candidates

At Gerald Walsh Associates Inc., we maintain a large database of over 15,000 resumes of individuals who have indicated their interest in being considered for other career opportunities. Most of these individuals are passive job seekers. That is, they are not aggressively pursuing new career opportunities but will respond to an interesting opening that we might present to them.

As well, for most candidates, confidentiality about their future career plans is of the utmost importance. And chances are the most desirable candidates would not be comfortable responding to a newspaper advertisement or a listing on a web-based job board placed by an employer. We can give you access to these well-qualified people.

Professional expertise

Gerald Walsh Associates Inc. concentrates on finding the best available candidates for your specific needs. Our track record and corporate success is based on our proven ability to:

Analyze your organization's needs objectively;
Help you develop the job specifications and requirements;
Source potential candidates;
Pre-screen each resume with your needs in mind;
Interview the most appropriate candidates;
Present your opportunity objectively;
Check references with professional discretion;
Assist you with the final selection;
Advise you on a competitive compensation package; and
Negotiate an offer of employment.

Save time and money

The hiring process can be very time-consuming for employers. Gerald Walsh Associates Inc. can relieve you of the burden of advertising, pre-screening resumes, handling telephone inquiries, interviewing candidates and responding to inquiries.

Further, the real cost to the employer of hiring the wrong person is becoming increasingly evident and has been estimated by major corporations to be as much as four times the individual's salary. Our professional staff will help you find the right person for the job.

Ensure confidentiality

You may not want your decision to recruit known internally or within the business community. We will take great care to protect the identity of your organization and ensure confidentiality.
