THE ORGANIZATION

ProFound Talent Inc. emerged from a dream and a belief by its Founder, Terri Davis, that we only have one life to live; and we need to live it with purpose and passion.   With a desire to become an entrepreneur and with the dream to help organizations and individuals become more than they believed they could be, she left a stable career as a Partner at a national executive search firm to bring extraordinary talent management solutions to the market.

The ProFound story began in 2013 after a meeting with an executive. This executive questioned why search firms in Canada did not specialize in sport? This intrigued Terri to conduct further research to understand why the need for the specialization. Upon numerous conversations with executives in all industries, it was apparent that they did not require specialization, but they did want to be special.  They wanted to be heard, they wanted a customized process unique to their needs and they wanted a quality result the first time!   With industry and business becoming increasingly competitive, they were looking for ways to increase their competitive advantage through their people – their corporate talent.

With this in mind, Terri started her new venture in September 2016 to bring PROFOUND Talent Inc. to all organizations looking to elevate their game through their people. To accomplish this, she believed it equally important to work with individuals in identifying their passion, career vision and skill to give them the best opportunity to be extraordinary in their careers.  ProFound Talent offers executive and professional level recruitment to businesses; career coaching and transition services to individuals.

Terri is a dreamer and a builder; so why stop there?  Terri has continued to build on the ProFound concept serving the market in a disruptive manner that brings value, innovation and new concepts to our business customers and to the everyday person who needs more for their life and career.   We are doing this through our “Attraction” strategy that helps businesses and consumers attract into their lives through our headhunting, coaching, marketing, video production and learning. The concept of ProFound Attraction was created to attract talent, customers, revenue and learning through ProFound Talent, ProFound Productions and ProFound TV.
