Ovintiv (formerly Encana)

While at Encana (now Ovintiv), we engaged The Hayward Group to support our efforts in the sizable effort of naming and defining our Differentiating Leadership Capabilities. These capabilities would underpin the entire Talent Management program at the company, including Leadership Development, Performance Management (including 360 degree feedback), and Succession Planning. The fact that the work done has been sustained for so many years is a testament to its brilliance and practical use.

Canada Career Counselling

We have utilized The Hayward Group as our recruiter for many years, for both Canada Career Counselling and Synthesis Psychology. Chad is a top-notch recruiter who provides both our team and our candidates a great experience from start to finish. I wholeheartedly recommend The Hayward Group for recruitment and selection expertise that is well worth the investment.

Hood Packaging

Hood Packaging Corporation Paper Division in Calgary has been using The Hayward Group for over ten years. We send potential senior candidates who we are considering hiring to have them assessed and to ensure that they are a good fit for our organization. I do not hesitate to recommend them.

Human Resources Manager

Lethbridge Family Services

We engaged The Hayward Group to assist us in recruiting to a key executive position, and could not be happier with the decision. Their services were first-rate from end-to-end, and freed up our capacity to manage other matters, not the least of which was the pandemic.

Sandra Mintz, EMBA
Chief Executive Officer

Westmount Charter School

The Hayward Group far exceeded our expectations and we plan to use them for future leadership development and recruitment. We would not hesitate to recommend them to other organizations, especially in the educational sector.
