The process of assembling the right team of consultants and choosing the most direct course of action was launched. 6 people were immediately assigned on the project Ð 5 Consultants and 1 Associate. Positions were immediately advertised to attract a significant number of candidates. Job profiles were promptly created and placed on four job boards - Monster.ca, Yahoo Hot Jobs, Workopolis and wwwork!com.

Due to a rapid expansion of the organization, all the positions had to be filled within 3 months. wwwork!com has filled all the position within the requested time frame.
