About TEEMA Consulting Group:

TEEMA Consulting Group Inc. (TEEMA) provides focused solutions to organizational challenges around project and staffing delivery. TEEMA is a consortium of senior technology professionals in recruiting and consulting and over the past few years, TEEMA’s success has allowed them a ‘seat at the table’ with influential consultants and clients. TEEMA’s service offerings complete an end-to-end managed solution for clients from staffing to project delivery. With headquarters in Vancouver BC, TEEMA also has offices in other Canadian and US cities. For more information on TEEMA visit us at www.teemagroup.com

When we started off, we wanted to see how our model would work within our launch city - Vancouver, BC. It didn't take long for us to realize that the model not only worked and proved successful, the word got out on the street. Good news traveled fast and our hope was that the right people would "get it" and see that what we offered was what they were looking for. So our growth is not so much organic, but rather contagious. In addition, our growth has happened quickly. Since 2008 we've grown 475%! The right people in TEEMA bring the reputation and professionalism we desire. Therefore, since our internal team has grown, the partnerships we now have in our cities have increased - our client based has increased 900%. Needless to say, we are encouraged to see the impact we are making in the marketplace.

There have been some exciting new developments here at TK Recruiting (TK).  Through the welcomed counsel from both our consultants and clients, we are expanding our service offerings to include a focused and managed approach to IT project delivery and, as a result, will merge and rebrand under TEEMA Consulting Group Inc. (TEEMA). This is exciting for us all as it opens up new opportunities to serve you better. Let me explain…

TK evolved from the basic premise that using an external recruitment service should be ‘Turn Key’ for those who would use this type of service.  “Your Turn Key Solution to Recruiting” is our trademarked slogan we have been proud to follow, and accomplished through our industry-best People, Process, and Technology.

Our success in recruitment has provided us a ‘seat at the table’ with influential consultants and clients who have confided in us that our industry-leading recruitment service is an important first step to a greater challenge: project delivery.  TEEMA’s service offerings complete an end-to-end managed solution for our clients from project staffing to project delivery.

SO HOW DO WE DIFFERENTIATE?

First, TEEMA has developed a focused strategy to provide technology solutions to organizational challenges.  TEEMA’s Practice Areas align to our current strengths around Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Integration, IT Infrastructure & Security, Web Services, Software Development, IT Health Informatics, and Project Management to name a few.

Second, TEEMA is partnering with senior consultants across North America to become our Practice Leads within our Practice Areas.  Our Practice Leads are subject matter experts with at least 15 years of project delivery experience within their respective disciplines.  They are some of the industry’s best and they take great pride in a focused approach to project delivery under the TEEMA banner.

Third, TEEMA provides reportable metrics and industry standard methodologies for project delivery, which all of our Practice Leads and their respective teams adhere to.  TEEMA’s Practice Areas are all governed by this approach so the message and results are consistent.

WHY TEEMA? (TEEMA means ‘focus’ in the Finnish language)

Merging under the TEEMA brand will serve to strengthen our position in building out our service offerings to support you.  Our current strength in recruitment delivery is now complimented with TEEMA’s focused solutions to project delivery - a combination no pure consulting company can match.  Welcome to TEEMA Consulting Group Inc.  Selection Made Simple. Hiring Done Right.
