"In 2008, we called upon the services of Y2 in setting up two staffing processes: in developing assessment tools (interview and reference check questions), in preparing the selection committee members (pre-interview stage) and in conducting reference checks.

The assessment tools that they developed were complete, of very good quality, and submitted in accordance with established deadlines. The advice provided to the members of the selection committee was perceptive and to the point. This pre-interview preparation helped improve the quality of the interviews and made the assessment of candidates easier. Finally, we called on Y2's expert advisory services in conducting reference checks. The reference check reports provided to us were clear and comprehensive.

Overall, we found that the experts at Y2 demonstrated a high-level of professionalism, courtesy, flexibility and reliability. Without question, working jointly with them contributed to the success of our two staffing processes."

"As the CRTC's Chief, Human Resources Operations, I would like to express my satisfaction with the HR services of Y2 Consulting Psychologists. I engaged Y2 in 2009 to assist me during selection processes for EX-01 and EX-02 positions. I am pleased to be able to recommend this company.

All contact with Y2 has been pleasant and exemplary from a service perspective. Foremost, I am persuaded of the company's efforts to accommodate our specific needs. This is evidenced by their follow-up and timeliness of delivery.
Without exception, Y2 demonstrated dedication and professionalism throughout both processes. Y2 provided relief for my staff during a busy time at the Commission, at which both processes were deemed an organizational priority. The end result proved that Y2 was a good choice for a firm engaged to respond to our urgent needs.

I offer my sincerest gratitude, and recommendation for HR services by Y2 Consulting Psychologists."

"Managing a team presents a number of challenges - very stimulating on one hand but, at times, very complex to carry out. In a world where career progression for employees is important and where creating a healthy work environment is key, we need, on occasion, a chance to revitalize ourselves and to learn about new ways that will allow us to inspire employees and to answer corporate demands at the same time, while putting in place a pleasant work environment. This is what my coaching sessions allow me to do. It is a long-term process."

"Being at a certain point in my career, in which I was questioning my professional objectives, I decided to communicate with Y2. My experience with the team at Y2 Consulting Psychologists was very satisfactory. They made me take knowledge and personality tests which helped to determine my career interests. They also discussed my career aspirations and my fears in terms of the future. A plan of attack was put in place. They revised the content of my c.v. and my covering letter in order to increase my chances of being called for an interview related to a competition for which I had applied.

These meetings helped me regain confidence in myself and I am ready to face the challenges that are before me. I recommend to all who need professional orientation service to call Y2 Consulting Psychologists. You won't be disappointed."

As a result of the career counselling, I was able to obtain a 6 month assignment within my department. Besides I got a job offer that I declined because it wasn't with the federal government.
