Small Business

Small Business, Big Talent:

At Stoakley-Stewart Consultants, we understand that small businesses are the backbone of the Canadian economy. You bring innovation, community spirit, and personalized service to the marketplace and are dynamic, engaging and fun places to work. Yet, despite all these factors, one of the biggest challenges you face is competing for top talent, especially with your large corporate counterparts.

As a small business ourselves, we strongly believe that Canadian Small Businesses deserve Big Talent too! For this reason, we have created our Small Business Recruitment Specialty Practice, fondly referred to as “Small Business, Big Talent”.

Tailor made to address the unique challenges of this market we help our Small Business Clients compete and win in the ongoing war for talent!

The Transformative Recruitment Journey:

For many small business owners, “recruiting” is simply a matter of hiring someone they know (are related to) or advertising on a job board (“post and pray”). Making the transformation to a more strategic, detailed and exhaustive recruitment methodology can be a game-changer, often followed by a period of significant growth and success.

This transformation can take one of two forms, building this expertise in-house, complete with tools, procedures and training OR partnering with an outside recruitment resource such as Stoakley-Stewart Consultants. We know all too well that that natural inclination to bootstrap and “do it oneself” lives strong in all entrepreneurs but we also know that there are many benefits to partnering with a Recruitment Firm, especially one that specializes in Small Business.

Our specialized Small Business recruitment team will enhance your hiring process leading to better hires, faster. In addition, will free you up to spend your valuable time where it’s needed most, doing what only you can do. Let us handle the complexities of recruitment while you focus on your passion, growing your business!

Small Business Banding Together:

It is very important for the broader Small Business community to stick together and support one another. The one unifying organization who represents the best interests of and has biggest voice for Small Business in Canada is the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB). As a long-standing member of the CFIB we strongly support the excellent work that this organization does on behalf of each and every one of us!

If you are unaware of the CFIB, we would strongly encourage you to learn more about the great work they do on our behalves, not the least of which is an established presence within, AND influence upon, Government at all levels!

One could even refer to the CFIB as Small Business, Big Voice!
