The BOWEN Manifesto

32

We are Your People PartnerBOWEN is all about helping organizations find great people and people find great organizations. But it goes beyond that… our focus on people is just part of who we are.

1974 Our roots are in Calgary, however, we work anywhere.

We’re here to help, wherever and whenever.

We think big. We perform big. We’re kind of big, but we don’t act big.

Laverne Bowen-Kruger, a single mother with a vision, founded

BOWEN with a focus on providing unparalleled Temporary and

Permanent Staffing Services. 5

We identify trends and respond with

customized solutions, because we know one

size doesn’t fit all.

We are nimble and flexible. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, yet turn on a dime when required.

1984Shannon Bowen-Smed joined the company as a receptionist

and worked in many roles within the company before becoming

President and CEO 12 years later.

We evolve with your needs and strive to always be at least one step ahead, so you are at least one step ahead.

We are problem-solvers. We listen, learn, then lead

the way to success.

Over the years, BOWEN’s services expanded to include Contractor Management, Outsourced HR and Outplacement Services.

Solution to logic puzzle:

We believe collaboration results in the best results. Together, we are more than the sum of our parts.

10

We know the importance of fit... sometimes over function.

We take pride in matching the right contractors and candidates with the right organizations, creating an ideal relationship that is rewarding for everyone.

We believe technology should support people, not replace them.

We believe communication is a two-way street, and must be informative,

frequent and friendly.

We ask questions – sometimes tough ones – and listen to

your answers.

2000Jeffrey Bowen joined BOWEN as part of the management

team and oversees the ever-evolving technology that is vital

to the varied services we offer today.

We respect our candidates, our clients and our co-workers, and it shows in the great,

long-lasting relationships we forge.

We believe you are only as good as the company you keep.

14 We are proud to call more than 60% of the our clients.
