October 2011- Director of Research for Oceans Apart Management

 

Director of Research

 
Oceans Apart Management (OAM) is an executive recruitment search firm, based in downtown Vancouver, with a world-class expertise in psychometric assessment. Our clients are comprised of a multitude of companies, in virtually all industries, both large and small. Over the last 25 years, we have been instrumental in helping build superior executive teams across North America. Now, because of ongoing growth, our group requires a top-notch Director of Research to manage candidate sourcing activities with the assistance of a small research team.
 
Reporting to the President and leading a team of two, the position focuses primarily on candidate sourcing for mostly high level assignments – VP’s, Presidents and CEO’s. As well, this position has responsibility for developing an in-house database system.
 
There are a number of reasons why our firm is a good place to build your career.
 
First, because of some unique in-house capabilities, our firm gets busier in difficult economic climates – we do not experience work slowdowns.
 
Second, there are many different and interesting directions to go in our group. These include: moving into the search partnership (this can be done from the position of Director of Research); moving to our international distribution group; hands-on psychological evaluation work directly for clients; corporate re-structuring; specialization in evaluation of senior management teams; and even a senior operations or marketing role in our restaurant group.
 
Of course, this assignment brings a commensurate-with-experience base salary, bonuses and benefits; three weeks of vacation in the first year; a week of paid sick days annually; an annual all-expenses paid trip to San Diego to interact with one of the top psychologists on the planet; and lots more (we have lots of fun dragging everyone to off-site food tasting sessions for all of our new products at Rasoee – and no one has been poisoned yet!!!) Of course, we also provide continuous education opportunities, paid memberships to associations and, if interested, work related travel throughout North America and beyond.
