We recruit peak performers for our Clients.
zenPeak operates in Ontario, Canada using an original NO RISK system to recruit peak performers for Clients.
Our Clients typically have 25 – 500 employees. We deal with the Owner-Operator decision-making executive first, and then their team as we deliver in the engagement.
zenPeak Candidates participate in a high compliance process that includes repairing their resume into a standardized zenPeak functional style (sample below), interview coaching, EQ testing and assessment, and determining whether they fit to the position and the company.
Clients don’t have to waste time or work hard to figure out a zenPeak Candidate. It’s done for them.
The founder, Frank Abrams operates a team in Toronto GTA. zenPeak is expanding to Waterloo and Ottawa in 2010. zenPeak pricing eliminates waste, enabling us to deliver at a very reasonable cost.
The zenPeak system includes the zeroriskHRTM candidate testing and assessment interview discipline. sample: zeroriskHRTM test & assessment
