In 1983, Alan Davis created a human resources consultancy specializing in the electronics industry, under the name of Selectronics Recruitment Inc. After working at various recruitment agencies, and seeing the traditional model of the relationship between recruitment firm and client, he was convinced that there was a better way of doing things. The years since have justified his belief.

Today, with a diversified client base, the company operates under the name Alan Davis & Associates Inc. The company has its office in Hudson, Quebec, with a staff of 23 carefully-selected managers, recruiters, researchers and support staff.

Now with over 70 clients in a wide variety of industries, the company is an internationally-recognized leader in the recruitment and selection of executives, managers and highly-skilled specialists on behalf of quality-oriented customers both large and small.

In 2005, we became a member firm of the prestigious Cornerstone International Group, one of the world's largest management consulting firms with over 100 offices located in key markets on the 6 primary continents. Cornerstone's consultants are rigorously screened through multiple client referencing prior to joining CIG. With our Cornerstone affiliation you will receive the 'The POWER of MANY….the FOCUS of ONE.'

Our mission is to be the Long-Term, World-Wide Recruiting Partner of the top Employers in each industry segment.

We will achieve this by consulting with our clients about their staffing needs, by creating solutions in partnership with our clients, by continuously improving our methods and processes, and by investing in the skills of our people and in the technology needed to support them.
