A Researcher with over 12 years’ experience in the Executive Search industry, Ms. Johnson, CHRP, has worked with some of the major Recruiting firms in Montreal. On the basis of that experience, r2lj was launched in 2000 as a research company that assists Recruiters in the identification process of qualified candidates.

R2lj offers research expertise, on a contract basis, to fulfill executive management positions for your Montreal-based assignments as well as for your national and international needs.

Our research process is both methodical and rigorous. The process is defined in several steps, which are summarized as follows:

Before undertaking the search, we will develop a strategy that will lead us to the most promising candidates, taking into account characteristics of the position, specific requirements, organizational context, corporate goals, expected results, functional relationships, deadlines and other constraints.

The next step consists in starting a targeted search of potential candidates. We elaborate, with the client, a research plan that identifies the companies where potential candidates would ideally be working. Furthermore, we identify companies that are not to be approached. Potential candidates are identified from several sources: candidate databank, contacts within the industry, Internet searches, networking, newspaper advertising and/or direct mailings, etc.

During the course of the assignment, we will canvas companies where we believe we can identify the best candidates. Subsequently, we would directly approach these candidates and measure their level of interest in the position.

The selection of potential candidates is done in three phases: a preliminary selection is done based on the established selection criteria, a candidate’s interest and compensation; phone interviews are then conducted in order to validate preliminary information and to consolidate a list of interesting candidates; a formal interview with the Recruiter serves to elaborate and confirm the information gathered from the preliminary steps.

At the outcome of the search, we will provide you with a report summarizing our work and present the short-listed candidates along with phone interview comments on each finalist in order to facilitate the selection process.

R2lj’s mission is to provide the Recruiter with the best candidates available and keeping you informed of all developments at the different stages of the Search. Building a strong working relationship ensures a successful recruitment.
