Before working with River City Recruiting, our challenges were based on each of our workloads being too high. They conducted the Harrison Assessment, which provided our team with a unique insight into our personal behaviours and approaches to business and life. It was an excellent tool to learn how we are each managing stress and gave us the insight to understand our reactions to situations and other people in our environments. Allie was easy to talk and share with, and it is clear that she is very passionate about her work and genuinely wants to help others perform at their best. This was an amazing opportunity for our team to grow and learn more about each other. All of the information helped us better understand how each of us in our team are unique in how we operate, and having that insight from each of us on the team brought us closer together.

Before working with River City Recruiting & HR, we had difficulty in attracting, identifying and selecting the right talent. We needed help in defining and building the recruiting process. River City Recruiting & HR provided testing, recruiting and assisting in interviews of potential candidates. They provided advice and guidance throughout the whole process and their help in selecting candidates was invaluable. Allie is awesome, knowledgeable, straight to the point, and brings a wealth of energy and expertise to the process.

We’re in a city with a severe talent shortage, and I wasn’t getting qualified candidates applying for our position. I was also unclear as to what skills – both hard and soft – that I was recruiting for, and I didn’t even know it! River City Recruiting represented Paper Sword Consulting to all candidates, created an on-boarding checklist, as well as recruited, interviewed and supported the hiring of one employee. They first helped set salary expectations for the role and gave a great array of marketing options for the posting. They were able to react much more quickly than we could have internally, so we could interview and hire a candidate before they were recruited by another firm. Allie’s a great strategic business partner. Conversations with Allie start with recruitment, but always end in great ideas on how to manage, motivate and retain our people. She’s so knowledgeable, I love to just pick her brain about all things HR.

Over the past year, River City Recruiting & HR has assisted with our last three hires. Being a small office, our mandate is to hire, not only the best skilled candidate, but also the candidate that will fit with our thriving culture. Allie and her team completed thorough tests on each candidate, which provided insightful information that goes beyond just their skills. As a result, we hired three incredible individuals that fit perfectly with our team. I have been hiring staff for 7 years and I feel like the Harrison Report has been my missing link. Additionally, River City Recruiting & HR provides incredible feedback, insight and recommendations on each candidate – this information helped us make unbiased and informed decisions, which ultimately saved our company an incredible amount of money.
