Problem:

Retail is the second largest employment sector in Canada at 12% of the total workforce. This retailer was unsuccessfully competing for talent at the Store Manager, District Manager, and Regional District Manager levels. The number of vacant positions across Canada was significantly impeding growth.
The company was on the verge of going public and finding the best talent was a critical part of their strategic plan prior to the initial public offering.
The company had needs across Canada so the mandate was to find a national recruitment solution.

Solution:

Four Corners Group created a “Partnership Plan” for this well-known retailer. This innovative solution created the most value and allowed us to become knowledgeable on every aspect of their business. Recruitment costs were amortized over a one year period and we became an extension of their brand in the retail industry.
Specific competitive retailers across Canada were identified and candidates were recruited at all levels.
We brought a professional and rigorous process to retail recruiting; something that had never been done before.

Results:

To date, Four Corners has placed over 30 individuals in the organization; many are recognized as being high potential and have exceeded our client’s expectations.
The company went public midway through the project and the upgrade to existing talent was cited as a key part of the future growth strategy.
Now one of our largest clients, a significant partnership has been cultivated which has created outstanding results in successful recruiting.
