Our Employees Said It Best

Given that we work with, counsel and recruit smart people every day, you’d expect us to hire smart people too. We do. And we asked them what they like best about working at IQ PARTNERS.

1

We are business consultants and problem solvers. We get to learn the nuances of our clients’ businesses and partner with them to solve the issues.

2

We’re nice. Our clients talk more about who we are and how we treat people than anything else.

3

IQP is “our” company. From recruitment consultant to partnership level, we are all invested in our collective success.

4

We hire smart people and get out of their way. We believe in the freedom to be true to who you are and “get stuff done” your own way.

5

We like to put the fun in fundraising (see what we did there?) with our Social Responsibility committee, IQP Gives Back.

6

We treat people like adults. There is no micromanaging, lunch break timing, or tie policing here.

Our sales bell is a squeaking penguin.

15

We believe in continuous improvement, and we are the only recruitment firm to offer training towards a CRS (Certified Recruitment Specialist) designation.

16

We get to work with smart, driven people.

17

We know first days can be awkward… so we have an extensive onboarding process and buddy system to help new employees hit the ground running.

18

Our entire company meets daily at 11:51 for a 9 minute “Huddle”.

We believe we are better together. We don’t believe in culture-killers like candidate ownership.

We protect our culture and reputation by setting our hiring bar really really high.

33

We work hard and play hard.

36

Our Senior Partner, Randy Quarin, takes a 15 minute ‘siesta’ at 2:00 every. single. day.

A Word on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion…

We have always believed in equity and diversity. Two of our core values (“Be True to Who You Are” & “Better Together”) actually celebrate individuality and inclusion. But we need to do more and continue to improve.

As a company that helps other companies ‘hire better’, we know it is our responsibility to cultivate diversity, equity and inclusion within our own organization, and to help our clients build diverse and inclusive teams. Our dedicated DEI Committee provides guidance, governance and holds us accountable to our commitments.

We’re educating ourselves on unconscious bias while working to build a more diverse team, and continuing to cultivate a workplace where everyone can succeed. Over time, we hope to become trusted advisors to our clients in promoting DEI within their own organizations.
