Trusted By
Like many businesses, recruitment and retention are significant challenges, particularly when you are trying to scale a business. We needed a partner that understood our business, our objectives, our brand, and our culture – Ian and his team invested the time to vet us to ensure they could represent us in the recruitment space and get candidates excited about the opportunity to join the IRONDOG team. This has been particularly critical as we added people to our Senior Management team; these are roles that have a significant impact on growth – you need to get these right, and the Venor team has demonstrated that they are invested in our success.
Since acquiring the business in 2016, we have had fivefold growth in the number of employees at IRONDOG – the Venor team has filled key roles in sales, operations and senior management that have played key roles in this growth.
Why? Results, certainly. Their team is unmatched at finding world-class talent. But it's more than that - it's results combined with ethics, discretion, and trust. Venor takes the time to truly understand the person, the company, and the role, and are relentless in finding ideal matches.
It's why I keep returning to Venor to fill high-impact roles with top-tier talent.

Interim Talent
The Right Kind of Expertise When You Need It Most
Stuff happens. We get that. You need a specific skill gap filled immediately, but you don’t have the time or need to hire permanently. We can quickly help you find the contract talent you’re looking for on a temporary, part-time or project basis.
We support clients by addressing immediate challenges, adding critical expertise and resources for specific projects, or temporarily adding knowledge and skills in the senior ranks.
We have a large network of prescreened, well-regarded consultants who offer their services on a contract or freelance basis who meet our rigorous qualifications to work on time-sensitive engagements with our clients.
Talent Assessments
A Data-Driven Approach to Assessing Talent
We are SuccessFinder certified, using this advanced psychometric assessment tool to provide insights into the natural behavioral preferences of candidates. Drawing on over 50 years of data, SuccessFinder uses five categories and 26 behavioral competencies to measure natural behavioral preferences using the strongest scientific foundations with a proven predictive power that identify drivers of success and satisfaction at work.
These competencies are also used to benchmark candidates to exceptional performers in the same leadership levels and positions.
To increase the level of confidence in your HR decisions, SuccessFinder helps minimize the risk of hiring errors, ensuring the right people are placed in the right roles to maximize potential and achieve optimal results for both partners and candidates.
Career Transitions
Helping You Navigate Challenging Times
Our career transition and outplacement team can offer support to your organization during termination or corporate downsizing. We offer immediate practical assistance and on-site support along with comprehensive online career resources and career consultation with a dedicated advisor for transitioning employees.
We are committed to helping employees plan and achieve a successful career transition in a professional and nurturing manner, while also ensuring that clients carefully plan and implement restructuring plans and protect their legal and ethical responsibilities.
