The Company
Avalon Dairy the first certified organic dairy company in Western Canada.
If good stuff goes in, good milk comes out. By using certified organic practices to nourish the soil and what grows out of the ground, we can ensure only the best flows out of our Partner Farms’ cows.
A dairy dynasty.
From our iconic glass bottle, you can tell we’re traditionalists. Avalon has been family-run since 1906, and survived world wars, depressions, urban sprawl, and waves of conglomeration. Yes, the decades have thrown up a few hurdles, but Avalon has cleared them with flying colours.
The Challenge
STRIVE Recruitment was requested to conduct a unique search for a dual-ticketed skilled trades professional. Avalon Dairy was specifically looking for individuals with a second or third class Power Engineer ticket, along with a Red Seal Millwright or Red Seal Electrician ticket. This search presented challenges not only due to the specialized technical qualifications but also due to Avalon Dairy’s commitment to maintaining a strong corporate culture, which they attribute as a key factor in their over 100 years of success. They were also working with two other recruitment agencies for the search.
The Outcome
Utilizing a wide network and extensive market knowledge, a qualified selection of candidates were quickly identified and four were submitted within a week of briefing the role. Throughout the process, STRIVE Recruitment were able to pivot their approach in response to the evolving needs and timelines of the process, never compromising on quality or service level, and ultimately filling the position.
