Combined, the new Optimum Talent will service clients throughout the entire talent lifecycle.

“Optimum Talent and Conroy Ross Partners have been successful because we put our clients’ needs first. Merging the two businesses is an extension of our commitment to do what’s best for our clients. As an integrated firm we’re able to provide better solutions because we’re involved throughout the entire talent lifecycle.

In 2014, we mapped out a three-phase strategy to get us where we are today, and have focused our efforts on achieving this goal since that time” said Mike Bacchus, President of Western Canada at Optimum Talent and former Chief Executive Officer at Conroy Ross Partners. “Great talent is a critical business differentiator. As an integrated firm we’re better positioned to support our clients in identifying and developing the best talent.”
