One to One Leadership Launches Specialized Recruiting Division

Wednesday September 17, 2008

 

Pelham, N.Y. and Longboat Key, Fla. — Sept. 17
One to One Leadership — a management and consulting firm noted for its leadership assessment, development and training programs — is pleased to announce the launch of its new recruiting division, One to One People.

This extension takes what One to One Leadership does best — identifying and nurturing the “it” factor that makes employees and companies succeed — and applying those principles to helping companies hire the best talent.
 
This new division, originated by One to One Principal Sean O’Neil, will specialize in the recruiting of professionals for firms of all industries and sizes, including positions within technology, human resources and sales organizations, where One to One has an outstanding track record.

Based on One to One’s proven ability to recognize and understand the culture of a given company, One to One People is in a unique position to find the right hires to succeed within an organization.

“In today’s uncertain economy business leaders agree that finding, motivating and retaining the right people is a top three ‘pain point’ of business,” said O’Neil, who counsels that companies must take the time to figure out up-front who will be successful in their organization and who will cost them valuable time and resources.

Social behaviorist and author Malcolm Gladwell recently spoke on hiring trends, stating that this pain point or mismatch problem occurs because “traditional hiring tests do not accurately predict professional success.”

One to One people will prevent these hiring mismatches by avoiding standardized methods of assessment, opting for a more sophisticated and individualized approach to uniting like candidates and companies. This process concentrates on selecting those who will quickly fit in and contribute to the short and long-term success of a business.

To help manage One to One People, the organization has appointed Philip Myers as executive vice president. Myers has more than 20 years experience working with international brands including Citigroup, GE, Xerox, IBM and Microsoft, as well as small and midsize organizations.

A certified Personal Performance Coach, he has held senior management positions on both the client and recruiter side and has been involved in diversity consulting, IT training, sales and marketing.

Most notably, Myers spent 15 years managing Eden Africa, a South African recruiting company specializing in placing black professionals into executive positions. A native of the U.K., Philip brings experience, passion and creativity to One to One People.
