Geismar has been at the forefront of rail transport development for almost a century. Recently, we embarked on a recruitment project to secure a highly capable Head of Finance, as the business navigated rapid growth plans. With very limited time to scale, Geismar sought to attract top-tier professionals with not only technical skills to aid the growth but also crucial soft skills.

Eduardo and the wider team at Robert Walters worked closely with our Group Deputy HR Director and other senior stakeholders to establish the vision and story of the business, which truly helped to shape the attraction strategies of top tier talent across the Canadian market. 

A multi-channel approach was identified as the optimal approach to deliver the high-volume of different specific skill sets required for the project. The team utilized LinkedIn, next-gen recruitment software and their extensive candidate network to headhunt specialized professionals for the roles.

"Robert Walters' industry-leading hiring processes, brand recognition, and reputation attracted candidates who may not have been actively seeking opportunities but were interested in this role."

The Head of Finance that was hired as part of the project is an exceptional performer who works with a high level of quality; she is one of the key players in the growth and development of GNA Ltd.

While we had worked with Robert Walters in France beforehand, this was the first time I was working with Robert Walters Canada. Their dedication, strong understanding of our requirements, and exceptional candidate selection process have made them an invaluable asset to our recruitment activities.
