Boyden Global Executive Search, a world-class professional search firm with 80 offices in 43 countries, will open an office in Winnipeg as part of an integrated strategic alliance with Winnipeg’s People First HR Services. As one of the best-connected firms of its kind in the world, Boyden Global Executive Search will recruit professional candidates from its worldwide network for businesses in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and northwestern Ontario.
“Boyden enjoys an international reputation and strong brand presence in our markets, and we are rigorous about the people, companies and cities with whom we choose to ally,” said Trina D. Gordon, Chair, Boyden Global Executive Search, who will join People First tomorrow to formally announce the opening. “We are eager to be coming to Winnipeg, a city and a region with a stable economy, centralized commerce, range of companies with international ties and a promising future. Those tangibles, along with the best practices Dr. John McFerran and his team have established with People First HR Services, align strongly with the Boyden way.”
McFerran was instrumental in securing the Boyden-People First alliance, including a strategic move earlier this year to head executive search for People First HR Services from president of People First in order to focus on enhancing the market’s executive recruitment capabilities.
“Boyden is well positioned to make Winnipeg an international executive recruitment powerhouse,” said McFerran, who will take on the role of managing director of the Winnipeg offices of Boyden Global Executive Search. “The Boyden-People First alliance will be a tremendous advantage to existing and new clients, who will have access to more top tier candidates. The scope of the alliance is unmatchable in this region.”
Len Hoey, president of People First, is thrilled with the prospects.
“The Boyden and People First office will be integrated at all levels,” he said. “Clients will benefit from the nuances of a local office that’s part of a network and has access to resources that extend from Toronto to Calgary, Miami to Milan, Helsinki to Hong Kong, and Auckland to Buenos Aires.”
The Winnipeg offices of Boyden Global Executive Search will be located at the People First office at Portage and Main.
