Over the years it has grown from a modest beginning into a global recruiter and provider of personnel, with offices in locations ranging from the United States to the Philippines, UAE, Iraq, and Australia. with work permits and visas, handling complex tax issues, and cultural considerations. Highly Skilled & Specialized Candidates Leading corporations have called upon The AIM Group to source highly skilled specialized candidates, a practice with which we are very familiar; our Calgary office has become a major supplier to the Oil, Gas, Mining, Refining, and Petrochemical industries, and our London office is a key player in the Automotive sector. Above all, regardless of the location or industry, The AIM Group places utmost importance on the quality of our candidates.

3 Divisions The AIM Group Inc. comprises five divisions, each of which specializes in the recruitment and placement of distinct categories of personnel, and which generally deal with specific types of clients or industries. This means our account managers are very familiar with the environments candidates and clients are dealing with, and allows them to form solid professional relationships with all their business associates. Professional Consulting Services The AIM Group s Professional Consulting Services division is a leader in providing both public and private sector clients with highly qualified consultants to assist with a broad range of highlevel initiatives. The Professional Consulting Services division is quickly becoming one of the Government of Canada s most trusted providers of quality consultants and professional services, as demonstrated by the level of satisfaction instilled in our clients by the numerous successful placements and contracts the division has undertaken in recent years. Information Management / Information Technology In the increasingly technology-focused world of business, Information Management and Information Technology resources are becoming ever more indispensible for public and private sector workplaces alike. The AIM Group s IM/IT division specializes in the recruitment and placement of IM and IT professionals. We work closely with our clients to provide efficient and effective solutions, and we familiarize ourselves with our consultants in order to offer them opportunities where their valuable and highly sought-after skills can be put to use meeting new challenges.

4 HR Capital Management When dealing with critical organizational transformations, the skills and expertise of HR consultants are of utmost importance in today s public and private sector business environments. In light of this, The AIM Group s HR Capital Management division offers senior HR consultants who have decades of valuable government experience at a fraction of the cost of other major capital management solution providers. Our consultants strive to understand the nature of our clients organizations in order to deliver solutions that meet clients needs and exceed their expectations.

Administrative & Clerical Services The AIM Group s Administrative & Clerical Services division was created specifically to serve the Federal and Provincial governments as well as private clients in the National Capital Region. Regardless of whether candidates will be working with a client for one day, several months, or even longer, we place high importance on skills testing and reference checks to ensure that each and every candidate we propose is a great fit for our clients; this practice has lead to a very high level of client satisfaction with our services.

5 a cut above Clients choose The AIM Group because of our experience; satisfaction with our quality of service is the reason our clients return. An indication of our success is that today, clients include various public sector organizations as well as dozens of private businesses. Our account managers are highly experienced in providing professional consulting services and solutions, and are dedicated to providing quality service to clients and candidates alike. Equipped with our extensive database of senior management consultants, account managers have access to a wide selection of resources who meet your specific requirements so that you get the best fit, every time. Quality & Fairness Quality and fairness are the cornerstones of The AIM Group s services. Our clients and consultants deserve only the highest level of service, and benefit enormously from our commitment to fair charge and pay rates and our ISO 9001:2008 registration, which is the formal recognition of our quality management system by an independent third party. Clients don t want to go through consultant after consultant, trying to find someone who s worth the time and money involved in their project, and we understand that we don t want to spend our days re-staffing the same position either. That s why account managers at The AIM Group always conduct an ISO-certified screening of candidates skills and abilities before submitting them to our clients. And our quality control doesn t end there we follow up regularly with both parties, and we do a final follow-up with clients to get their feedback on our services, helping us to evolve our practices so we can continue providing services that work for everyone.
