Real Results, Real Impact
Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation
“Our Executive Director left us at a critical time in the Park’s development. We couldn’t afford normal search firm fees and needed to expedite a campaign as soon as possible. Osborne knew our business and our urgent situation. Working with their partners at ScoutTalent they found us a tremendous candidate within 60 days of starting the campaign. It was both an effective and efficient process.”
Simon House Recovery Centre
"After an exhaustive and inclusive recruiting process led by Osborne we were pleased to find a local Calgarian in our own backyard to take on the position of President and CEO. We were impressed by the quality and experience of applicants that applied, which made our decision even more challenging. I would personally like to thank (Osborne Principal) Mark Olson for his first class leadership over the last 8 months.”
Cochrane and Area Humane Society
"Osborne’s assessment of our organization was thorough and well done. Dave was excellent as an Interim ED. He was able to accomplish a lot in a short time and the Board and staff appreciated his efforts and his leadership. We would certainly use Osborne again and would recommend them to other organizations."
Palliative Care Society
“Osborne Interim Management supported our recruitment efforts for a new CEO from start to finish. They helped us develop the right profile for the individual we needed and then oversaw a process that resulted in a significant number of very qualified applicants. Their engagement in the screening and interview process led us to hiring a terrific new CEO, bringing much needed relief to the Board and invaluable momentum to our Society. I’d highly recommend their services to any other charitable or not-for-profit organization.”
Canadian Constitution Foundation
"I have worked with both Mark Olson and Simon Batcup on a number of assignments. I would recommend them to you in any interim management, search mandate, planning mandate or strategic advisory mandate. You will not be disappointed and will regard any and all invoices and costs as both fair and appropriate."
Parallel Ag Group
“Osborne was able to meet our timelines to have an interim CFO in place. The Talent Acquisition Specialist did a great job for us. Given our positive experience we would consider using Osborne again in the future and highly recommend its services.”
Alberta Fish and Game
“Osborne Interim Management was able to provide us with interim leadership during a period of significant transition and organizational rejuvenation. In addition to the Principal who acted as Interim Executive Director, they provided resources as required to facilitate a strategic planning session and update our Personnel Policy manual. The Interim then led the recruitment process that helped us find and onboard our new CEO. I would highly recommend the services of Osborne Interim Management.”
