Fairwinds does not charge a per-placement fee as recruiting firms do. These fees reach well into the thousands. We charge on a per-hour basis and are able to provide exceptional, customized service for a fraction of the cost.
In working with individual clients, we become familiar with the specific needs of the company, the culture, the expectations, and the type of person needed to fit the particular role.
We understand the high cost of turnover, both in the hiring process and in the training invested in the recruit. Our main objective is to lower these turnover costs by matching the right person to the right job. Our Prevue Assessments enable us to do this in a cost-effective way.
We see Fairwinds as a virtual “branch” or “department” of your company. We take care of the legwork which saves you time and allows you to do the things that have a higher return on investment.
Fairwinds believes that this partnership approach is a win-win for both parties. Because Fairwinds is a Training and Development solution provider, we are also able to provide in-house, customized training for your new recruits as well as your existing team.
Performance Management System Development
Fairwinds will work with internal management to assess the current system, develop a new system or implement improvements in any or all of the following areas:
- Job descriptions and role definitions
- Skill inventories
- Individual performance agreements
- Performance review forms
- Career development plans
- Performance management process implementation
- Online performance management system implementation
As part of this process, Fairwinds will also provide training for HR managers in the process implementation, and training for management staff on how to conduct yearly reviews, as well as ongoing coaching and monitoring.
Succession Planning
Succession planning should be tied as closely as possible to the Strategic Plan of an organization, ensuring that there will be sufficient human resources to carry out the vision for the future.
Fairwinds will help the organization benchmark positions and determine who in the organization has the best fit to move into that role. Through the benchmarking and matching process, skill gaps are identified and career development plans can be developed.

In addition to the Prevue Assessment process, Fairwinds will work with the management team to identify top performers and develop core competency frameworks.
Human Resources Policy Development
While many people shudder at the utterance of the “policy” word, there is a huge benefit to every organization in having the policies relating to their people clearly defined and communicated. Some policies are governed by Provincial and Federal laws, while others are specific to the needs of the organization. Fairwinds assists organizations by identifying the necessary guidelines and creating policies that suit their needs.
A completed Policy Manual typically includes policies relating to:
- Employment relationship
- Standards of conduct
- Wages and salary
- Benefits and services
- Communication
- OH&S policies
It may also include other company-specific policies required due to the nature of the industry or additional regulations.
