Testimonials

Searching for leadership is challenging. ProFound Talent offered and delivered expertise, solutions, and insights to reduce our challenges so we could concentrate on defining exactly what qualities, attributes and characteristics our organization needed in our new leader. Careful listeners, inquiring questioners, exceptional client responsiveness, and respectful staff contributed to an extremely positive business relationship and an equally positive outcome.

I highly recommend Terri Davis and her team at ProFound Talent.

Karen LynchChair – The GRIT Program

We engaged ProFound Talent to recruit for a CEO. This was a critical role for our organization having had a long-term leader in this role that was retiring and a vision for considerable growth, requiring a leader who could take us into our future.

ProFound Talent engaged with the Board and internal stakeholders to gain a great understanding of our needs. They worked diligently in market to bring top talent forward while managing the process thoroughly always keeping us informed with regular updates. We felt very supported, we had a great experience, we received quality candidates, resulting in us finding a great fit CEO.

I would highly recommend ProFound Talent for any executive search needs.

Glori MeldrumFounder & Board Chair – Little Warriors

The team at ProFound helped us find some great talent for our marketing team. The process of working with them was so efficient and at the same time, very thorough. They developed excellent discussion guides to help us find the best fit for our team on skill, experience and culture. When looking for a highly committed team to uncover great talent, I would highly recommend ProFound!

Heather JeffaresVP Marketing – Little Potato Company

Terri Davis and Stacey Laing at ProFound Talent helped us find four excellent new Little Potato Company family members for our Marketing and Business Development departments. They sourced a diverse and qualified pool of candidates and really understood what we were looking for in terms of fit with our culture and teams. This combined with great processes gave us great results. And both Terri and Stacey were a pleasure to work with. I will use them again for future recruits.

Sanford GleddieEVP Sales, Marketing & Business Development – Little Potato Company

I have known Terri for several years and have always found her to be absolutely committed and focused on the task at hand, whether that be training, coaching, or conducting an executive search. Terri is highly dedicated, trustworthy, and forthcoming and extremely customer oriented. It would be to any organization’s advantage to consult Terri and her firm for training or executive searches.

My experience with ProFound Talent & Terri Davis has been so good, and I offered to leave this review voluntarily because I truly got the best service & guidance throughout the process.

Everything was extremely professional. Terri made sure she kept me updated about everything, helped me prepare for the interviews & gave me honest feedback for improvement.

I am one happy client they got. Good job guys!

Janet RiopelCEO – Edmonton Chamber of Commerce

I highly recommend ProFound Talent to organizations seeking professional recruitment support. I was thrilled with the service, professionalism and expertise Terri provided in my search for NAIT’s Associate Vice President – Polytechnic Education and Student Success. Terri provided a customized approach to recruitment, one that acknowledged the culture of the institution and the needs of the selection committee. By design, her approach blended seamlessly with the support provided by NAIT’s internal human resource professionals; we purposefully took this approach as a way of enhancing the knowledge and skillset of our internal recruitment team. Terri’s process yielded a strong, varied candidate pool well matched to the needs of the position. Her warmth and professionalism were appreciated by candidates and by the selection committee, and led to an excellent result.

The team at ProFound Talent went above and beyond to find a candidate for the open position we had at Sugarlash PRO. Terri, Stacey and Anne are exceptional listeners and executed the recruitment in a timely manner. We were given very qualified candidates and the ProFound Talent team did not blink and eye when we changed a few things along the way. Communication was amazing and with their hard work we hired a new team member.

Kim McIverPresident – Sugarlash PRO

Terri and the team at ProFound Talent are customer and solutions focused. We were very pleased with the outcome, standards, and service provided by Terri and the group.

Tom WattsDirector – Employee Services, Parkland County

Working with Terri and the ProFound Talent team was tremendously successful. She really took the time to understand our internal workings, the key personalities, and ultimately landed an incredible member of our team. The ask we had for the team was challenging as the market we were looking in was not deep or traditional, yet Terri came through. Working with Terri is always a great experience and I highly recommend looking to ProFound Talent as a partner for your business.

Jesse CheethamDirector People & Culture – Fire & Flower Inc.

First time working with ProFound, Stacey and Terri’s approach of questioning and clarification served to help us both clarify the most important elements of an unconventional role. They were accessible, listened to understand and converted feedback into steps that helped identify a great candidate. The process was positive for all of us!

Teresa Clouston Executive Vice President and Head, Core Product, Enablement & Advice Team – ATB Financial

Terri’s professionalism during our search was exceptional. Her connections into the market were reflected in the depth of the strong talent pool that was provided to the search committee. Throughout the process she was incredibly supportive and understanding of the search committee, which in our case was entirely volunteers. Terri’s personal touch in understanding our organizations needs and matching it with the best talent will have an positive impact on our organization for years to come.

Dr. Neil FassinaBoard Director – Junior Achievement of Northern Alberta & NWT

We had to select the right talent sourcing company that would be able to meet our need. From identifying our need for the position, through a rigorous job analysis, to sourcing, attracting and selection of the ideal candidate for the position, the ProFound Talent team was on hand to ensure that the entire process was seamless. The team did not only secure the ideal candidate, it was timely to meet our business objectives. I would recommend Terri and her team to any organization.

Tola Awoluyi Director – Tafeli Gourmet Cookies

Terri did a great job with a recent search for our company. Her customer service and communication were excellent, and most importantly, she brought several excellent candidates to the table. We look forward to working with Terri again in the near future.

David Whyte VP People & Culture – JV Driver

I wanted to take the time out to let you know that the service you offer and the personality behind it is amazing. I have dealt with many placement firms, on both sides of the fence, for almost 20 years now and your professionalism and kindness is unmatched. You made the whole process very comfortable and was able to find out who I was, and not someone that wanted to give all the correct answers. To me, in your industry, that’s an amazing skill.

Wayne Vice President – Finance

I have had the pleasure of meeting Terri and received some great coaching to assist me while mapping out my career path. Her knowledge in this field and communication skills are phenomenal. It has given me the confidence and tools to start a new company. A true professional and I look forward to continue working with her.

Keith Fong Coaching Client

Terri Davis delivers results. She is a focused and responsive recruiter who took the time to gain a full understanding of our needs and identify strong and qualified candidates. Our experience has been very productive and we are satisfied clients who will use her services again when need arises.

Janet Riopel President & CEO – Edmonton Chamber of Commerce

Terri has the ability to probe into your career strengths and abilities, while finding out about your personality and goals. Through her process and with her encouragement she was able to place me twice in industries unknown to me. My skill set enabled me to thrive in atmospheres I really enjoyed. I would recommend her to anyone.

Joseph WuestMarketing Executive

Terri was recommended to me by a trusted mentor when I was seeking to update my CV. From the first discovery session, I quickly realized this was an opportunity to refresh much more than my resume. Working with Terri on a monthly basis, I have gained a greater understanding of my strengths and my self-limiting beliefs. She has provided me with concrete exercises, knowledge and tools that I can put in to place immediately to strengthen my own relationship with “work” and the teams and organizations I work. Terri has profoundly impacted my career path and those around me. I can certainly see why my mentor recommended her to me and I am eternally grateful for her guidance at a critical time in my career.
