Movement Expands with Regional Operations in Vancouver, BC, St. Louis, and Atlanta
Movement Search & Delivery, a professional executive search firm with global reach, has recently expanded their footprint in N. America with the opening of professional search operations in Vancouver, BC, St. Louis, MO., and Atlanta, GA. and the addition of several key members to their leadership team.
“We are thrilled to have secured some of the best talent in the headhunting industry in these key markets as we continue to build and solidify our operations to fully support our diversified client base that utilizes Movement for their most important and demanding searches regardless of location and area of specialization.” Says, Doug Scott, General Manager of Movement.
The expansion is part of the firm’s unique strategy to attract and retain the best talent available and to grow around those key members of the team in the locations they reside in. Mr. Scott adds that with the technology and resources that exist today, the physical presence of the employee is not as important as the dedication and expertise of the associate who services their candidates and clients. “We will always be committed to physically growing our staff at our Headquarters here in Clarkston, MI.” adds Scott. “But having the ability to bring in outstanding independent recruiters outside of the region and plug them into our organization is also a core strategy to our expansion plans. All of our associates thrive in a team environment and are very comfortable delivering on complex searches in a variety of disciplines even if it is outside of their market.”
The key members of the national recruitment team include Gerard Sauve who is based in Vancouver, BC. He brings 15 years of executive search experience to the firm servicing some of the largest industrial companies in the areas of mining, capital equipment, energy, and automotive. Keith Walker is the newest addition based in St. Louis, MO. Keith has over 27 years in the headhunting business working in many industries including medical, manufacturing, sales and contract staffing. Keith True heads up the Atlanta operation. Mr. True has over 20 years of recruitment experience in successfully placing professionals in engineering, human resources, accounting, marketing and supply chain.
Although the newest members of Movement are scattered across the country, they have all worked together in the past. Their prior working relationships and trust they have built with each other over the years has been instrumental in building a cohesive team, albeit a virtual one. Mr. Scott comments, “There is a unique bond in the recruitment industry amongst Headhunters who share the same philosophy as to how the business should be done. Not a lot of people can do this type of work well over the long haul. Although we have scattered about over the years we always kept in touch and supported each other. Now with Movement, we have a company that understands and supports like-minded people who have dedicated themselves to the recruiting profession. We are having a lot of fun putting the band back together, so to speak.”
