Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat’s Financial Management Community

The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat’s Financial Management Community needed a stronger way to assess and develop leadership potential across roles, while still meeting the rigour of a public service environment. They used McQuaig to add deeper insight into behaviour, motivation, and leadership style, so they could support development pathways and improve fit for specialized roles. The result was a more well rounded view of strengths and growth areas, helping leaders make more informed decisions about readiness and development.

Hartz Search

Hazrt Search

Hartz Search wanted a clearer way to predict leadership fit in healthcare searches, beyond what resumes and interviews could show. They added McQuaig to their process by using the Job Survey to define the leadership benchmark and the Word Survey to see how each candidate’s natural style aligned with it. Since integrating McQuaig, Hartz Search reports executive placement retention of 92% (and one year 97%), and it now offers clients a 24 month guarantee for executive hires.

GNCO Corporation

GNCO

GNCO was growing fast and needed a consistent way to support hiring managers with behavioural insight during interviews, and to use the same insight for development.A few years ago they introduced McQuaig across talent acquisition and employee development, using the Word Survey and Job Survey to understand styles and shape interview questions. Today, GNCO says McQuaig is a “mainstay” that saves time and helps teams communicate and collaborate more effectively as the company scales.

University of San Deigo

University of San Diego

The Burnham-Moores Center for Real Estate at the University of San Diego wanted a better way to help students choose career paths that matched their strengths. They used McQuaig’s Word Survey with role benchmarks and one on one coaching to guide students and support mentorship matching. The program has supported 300+ students, reached 90% participation among graduate students, and saw 97% agreement that results accurately reflected the student.
