OUR EXPERTISE

Recruitment can appear to be easy, but effective, value-added recruitment is hard.

 

It takes time-management, project management, a genuine interest in people and their stories, creative research and sourcing, and the ability to listen more than you talk. It takes the ability to professionally represent your client - and credibility within your industry, so that the best candidates will respond to your outreach regarding opportunities. Within the complex world of financial services, it's that much harder to have that credibility if you haven't spent meaningful time in the seats.

​

It also takes an ability to anticipate outcomes and be attuned to red flags. That ability is learned through experience, through having dealt with the twists and turns of a multitude of searches, and the unpredictability of market events and its impact on the candidate pool.

​

It takes years to become an expert, in both financial services and in recruitment. Newey & Co. has invested decades and several market cycles in both, and is keen to put that expertise to work for you as you build your Canadian financial services team.

I engaged with Lisa Newey several times during my role as Chief Talent Officer. Lisa's approach with clients is like no other - she truly listens to understand the role, the team and the organizational culture to ensure the best candidate for our culture. Through Lisa's partnership, we secured a new Sales leader who was a fantastic fit and net-culture add from Day 1. I trust Lisa's advice and her ability to deliver, even in the most challenging of market cycles. Thank you, Lisa.
