Frequently Asked Questions
How does your recruitment process work?
Every engagement starts with a deep-dive consultation to understand your organization, culture, and the specific requirements of the role. From there, we leverage our extensive network and targeted sourcing strategies to identify qualified candidates. We handle screening, interviews, reference checks, and present a curated shortlist — typically within two to three weeks. We stay involved through the offer stage and beyond to ensure a successful placement.
What industries do you specialize in?
We recruit across a wide range of industries including Distribution, Manufacturing, Logistics, CPG, Retail, Technology, Healthcare, Financial Services, Professional Services, Automotive, and more. Our functional expertise is focused on Finance & Accounting, Supply Chain, and Procurement — so regardless of the industry, we understand the roles and the talent landscape deeply.
How long does a typical search take?
Timelines vary depending on the seniority and specialization of the role, but most searches are completed within three to six weeks. Executive-level positions may take longer due to the confidential nature of the search and the depth of candidate evaluation involved. We'll provide a realistic timeline estimate during our initial consultation.
What makes The STORY Group different from other recruitment firms?
We’re former industry practitioners — not career recruiters. Our team has held senior roles in Finance & Accounting, Supply Chain, and Procurement, which means we understand your challenges firsthand. We combine that operator experience with modern recruitment technology, data-driven search methodologies, and talent intelligence to identify candidates others miss. As a boutique firm, we provide a personalized, high-touch experience that larger agencies simply can’t match — backed by a trusted partnership with NISCL and direct access to Canada’s leading supply chain and procurement community. Every client relationship is a long-term partnership, not a transaction.
Do you offer contract or interim staffing?
Yes. In addition to permanent executive search and professional recruitment, we offer contract, interim, and fractional staffing solutions. Whether you need an interim CFO during a transition, a contract supply chain manager for a major project, or fractional procurement leadership for a growing company, we can help.
