“After considerable thought and sincere help from Sandra Gomes, I have accepted a great role as Director, BMO, Capital Markets, Operations.

As for PSG, and in particular Sandra Gomes, I cannot say enough to express my thanks for her professionalism, expertise, and guidance she has provided to me in the past few months.  Sandra has single handed helped me through my decision making and has always made herself available to me when I asked.

Sandra has gone out of her way to be a great friend, mentor and support system through my career search process. In all my dealings with recruiters she has stood out far above all and I feel fortunate to have built this relationship with her.

Thank you Sandra Gomes and Lisa Price for a wonderful experience at PSG.”

Joanne Balsamo - Director BMO Capital Markets Operations - BMO

“I have had the opportunity to work with Brian Gordon a number of times over the past 7 years through various recruitment campaigns.  While I was the Director of Human Resources for Anixter Canada, Brian was the only recruitment consultant to successfully place a candidate in a new and very niche aspect of Anixter's business.  He was successful because he inserted himself into our business, working with me to understand our organization as a whole and working very closely with the hiring manager to understand very specifically the requirements needed for that perfect fit.  Brian went to great lengths to understand the technical fit, organizational fit, behavioural fit and team fit requirements.  Every candidate he presented was considered a subject-matter expert in the role and the final candidate remains a successful part of the Anixter sales team today.”

Laura Mohammed - HR Professional

”I just want to express my thanks to both Sandra Gomes and Lisa Price for your honesty and strong belief in me.

I really do appreciate your professionalism as well as your genuine sincerity.  Hope to stay in touch and talk to you again soon.”

“Thank you Yonan so much for all your hard work and obvious skill and professionalism. Myself and the other two executives that were involved in this search were very impressed with the number of qualified candidates referred when we knew that given the criteria for the job, the search would be difficult.  The candidates arrived well prepped about Mary Kay and committed to the process.  We all agree you did a great job!!  Thank you again. Believe me, we appreciate it!”

Tricia Greco - Director Human Resources & Sales Force Services - Mary Kay Cosmetics

"I was vacationing this past summer and received a message from Mike alerting me to a position that came up that he thought I'd be good for. I was not pursuing anything actively at the time but decided to meet with him briefly out of courtesy. As it turns out, it has been one of the best decisions I've made. Just this week, after a long process, I signed off on the offer!

Mike was great throughout the entire process and really kept me focused on what it was his client was looking for. He followed up with me each and every time he was asked and I really believe he's a big reason why I ultimately got the position. I was unimpressed with many of the recruiters that I met with during my search, Mike was certainly not one of them."

Mark D'Ambrose - Regional Sales Manager

“Thank you Lisa for making the time to meet with me on such short notice.  You should know that Yonan was very professional as well as helpful and personable.  He and your company exude a positive and very caring attitude. Congratulations on building something that truly meshes individual needs with a larger goal.”

Clinton Smith - Vice President of Sales - Rogers Ventures

"I have never thanked any employment agency before but I felt it was warranted to send you an email to reflect my impression of Permanent Search Group.

I wanted to say 'thank you' to Lorrie Clark and Sandra Gomes for giving me such courtesy when considering me and submitting  my resume for the position with your valued client . 

Even though I did not get the job, it was a true pleasure working with both of you as you are both professional and made me feel very welcome in your office. It also shows the integrity of the Permanent Search Group (PSG) who also kept in contact with me throughout the whole process including during the wait time while the client made their decision and then letting me know that I did not get the position-I have seen/heard many agencies not giving that courtesy to their candidates so it was quite refreshing that PSG did.

I honestly have to say that Permanent Search Group is a 'class act' and I thank you for all of your help and guidance throughout this process."

Erica Mason

"I recently applied for an HR Generalist position through The Permanent Search Group and I was immediately contacted by one of their associates, Yonan Mintz. I found him to be very professional and courteous. He took the time to ask me a number of pertinent questions and immediately asked me to come in for a full interview.  Soon after meeting Yonan you immediately feel welcomed by his ease and warm inviting nature.  We had a lengthy discussion about my qualifications and what I was looking for with respect to my next career opportunity. He took the time to ask me a number of questions, to get to know what I was interested in. I was thrilled to hear that he wanted to present me immediately to the potential employer.  Yonan kept me informed throughout the entire process. He was a great liaison between the employer and myself and very professional the entire time. I certainly felt the personal touch and I was very appreciative of his hands on approach. To my delight, I was successful in my search and landed the role. I also got the chance to meet Lisa Price. I found her to be pleasant and inviting as well. I would certainly recommend PSG to any of my HR colleagues. I would certainly use PSG again for any future career searches."

FTM - HR Professional

“I wanted to send this quick note to thank you Yonan for all of the hard work that you and PSG did on my behalf, while I was looking for a new position. What made the search all the more difficult was the insecurity in the economy, and the lower number of suitable positions that were available. You never lost faith that you would be able to find a position that suited my needs, and your optimism was contagious. With your hard work, you were able to get me the position of a lifetime, and your interview tips and suggestions helped me over the last hurdles. I was offered the position and am looking forward to a very bright future. I cannot thank-you and PSG enough for all of the hard work on my behalf, and I will definitely recommend you to all of my friends should they need your services.”

When I had the opportunity to expand my team at Arbor, PSG came through for me with an outstanding hire in spite of a very competitive recruiting market.
