Meet Amanda and Annabelle.
Amanda is our current Owner & President and Annabelle is the Founder and former Owner of our brand. The WHY behind this brand for both these ladies has always been to create a different
recruitment experience.
“In this electronic age we live in, we often find ourselves “connecting” through the various platforms and miss out on truly CONNECTING with one another as individuals. This personal touch is something we strive to create in every interaction we have with both Candidates and Clients alike.” ~ Amanda Cox
It’s about more than just sending an email from time to time. We pick up the phone and get to know you, your needs and how we can help. Sometimes, just taking the time to get to know someone and openly share ideas with them can make a world of difference to that individual both personally and professionally.
“The fact is that we specialize in recruitment, period. No matter what the search, if you know how to recruit, you can apply your knowledge, skills and tactics to any recruitment campaign, regardless of sector and position type.” ~ Annabelle Cormack
This philosophy has served us well at Cormack over the years. Specializing in our process vs. a specific sector has allowed us to better serve our clients by having a robust and diverse network of candidates that can seamlessly cross-over from one sector to another, while at the same time, present our candidates with interesting career options they may never have considered.
These 2 philosophies are the main pillars of our brand. It’s who we are and it’s WHY
we built this company. So, if you’re looking for a more personal recruitment experience working with true Recruitment Experts, Cormack is here for you.
On Monday, May 4th of 2015, Annabelle Cormack officially incorporated Cormack Recruitment. The Star Wars fan in me has always wondered if she did that on purpose, but whether she intended to or not, every year on the 4th of May for the last 9 years I have said to myself "May the Force be with you this year, Cormack." And this year, as we celebrate an entire DECADE in business, I truly feel "the Force is strong with this one."
But let's be real, that wasn't always the case. Building this business from the ground up was no small feat, and working alongside my amazing friend and mentor, Annabelle, for the first 5 years to do just that, we faced a lot of ups and downs together.
According to the media, the Canadian Retail Industry is all doom and gloom, but we have a different take. Read on to see our Chief Recruitment Expert, Amanda Cox's perspective on how to navigate the continuously evolving landscape of the Canadian Retail world.
