TESTIMONIALS
J Golden -
Candidate
Mark P. -
National Sales
Manager
Allow me at this time to thank you for
your professional assistance in securing
an offer of employment. I have been very
impressed with their professional ap-
proach and actions to keep me informed
during the process.
We were in the need for a Nurse Practitioner and a Dual
Sonographer and had our internal recruitment teams looking
for months with no success. We signed an agreement with
100K and they assigned a project team to our business and
within 2 weeks we had 3 to 4 pre-screened and qualified
candidates for both positions. We made offers and had the
positions filled within 3 weeks of working with Leighton Part-
ners. I would highly recommend them as they were extreme-
ly effective, efficient and professional in delivering the exact
people to fill our critical positions.
We are very pleased with the service and quality
of candidates provided by Leighton Partners. They
were committed to providing us with experienced
and qualified candidates required by our organ-
ization. No matter how great the challenge we
presented Leighton Partners they were able to get
the job done in a quick and efficient method.
In a very competitive marketplace such as ours, technically
proficient employees that can lead are critical to our success.
They can also be hard to find. Leighton Partners has demon-
strated a willingness to invest significant effort into under-
standing our business to best ensure they are bringing us
the best available talent to match our requirements. I would
highly recommend Leighton Partners and their team to an
employer looking to fill key positions.

To sum up my experience in one word dealing
with Leighton Partners, «perfection». As a candidate
searching for employment, They worked extremely hard
to professionally match my work experience and
education with the right employer. They spent many
hours negotiating an excellent employment offer that
was acceptable to both parties. Leighton Partners
really went to bat for me as a candidate and I am very
pleased with the whole recruiting experience by Leigh-
ton Partners.
Leighton Partners are very know-
ledgeable and great to work with.
Always available, follows through
and delivers on time.
As General Manager in Calgary I had the pleasure
of working with Leighton Partners and their account
executive during several occasions when we were hiring
for Technical / Outside Sales positions. They provided
excellent support; firstly by listening to our needs,
and secondly by pre-qualifying candidates so that
the candidates we interviewed were good potential
from the outset. Leighton Partners made the process
efficient and effective.
The Cream of the Crop Rises to the Top»... a cliché per-
haps, but not when you are talking about the team of Leigh-
ton Partners. I have worked with many recruiting firms across
North American throughout my career and none have come
close to exceeding my expectations, through exceptional
communications, solid integrity and professionalism, like I
have experienced with
Leighton Partners.
