Ian Martin Group Reviews

Pros

The company is so transparent that every quarter the CEO come to office across the GTA to discuss our successes and budgets, where we are? what is the year to date financials? and where can we improve? Its refreshing to have a CEO so involved in our day to day operations. This company feels like a family, I can happily say that Sunday afternoons are never a disappointment when I look at the upcoming week ahead. I'm happy to work in a organization that cares about their employees and volunteer their time to make our communities a better place to live

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you are doing, the employees that work for IMG are firm believers on what you are trying to accomplish and we stand behind you 100%

Pros

Ian Martin Group has worked hard to create a unique offering in a recruitment market without much differentiation. Using the advice process and tools like Cloverpop have allowed more employees voices to be heard in decision making and consequently, there has been more collaboration and better decisions. The newly formed Givers Of Happiness team provides excellent internal resources to all employees. Management has also prioritized learning opportunities and a real partnership with our coworkers in Bangalore. At the Oakville office, you can bring your whole self to work. They're on the Top 50 Great Places to work survey for a reason.

It's awesome to work at a place that treats its values as foundational. The balance of creating an excellent offering for customers and an engaging work culture is complementary. Keep it up!

Pros

-Great Values
-Unique as in they try to be different then most agencies

Advice to Management

-Have a better review/raise process

Pros

The thing I like most about working here is that the company has a heart and a purpose. While there's always a focus on profit, this is combined with a desire to create a great workplace, develop individuals and have a positive impact on the world.

From a practical perspective, the compensation package is good, the benefits are decent and the management team is competent and generally open to input.

Advice to Management

It may be time to revamp the benefits program. It's not bad, but it's not great either. The recent increased focus on the visibility packs is good and should be continued.

Pros

Senior leadership care about the people and try to build a strong culture. They are willing to invest in people and for the most part open to new ideas.

Advice to Management

Avoid flavour of the month (or year) cultural initiatives, and return to old topics that were important to see if they survived in the culture.

Pros

Concerted effort to improve process and deliverables. Use surveys to get feedback and identify KPI's for upcoming year. Triple bottom line approach to profits is good

Advice to Management

Promote and encourage additional learning through courses and certifications. Not all problems have a software solution. Concentrate on your strengths
