The care and commitment we offer every one of our clients and candidates has always been at the core of who we are. Whether you are an organization looking for help or a candidate seeking the right fit, let us help you find the perfect match.
“The results were so much better than I could have done myself, it is like having a partner, they get it, they understand.”
“Everyone I have dealt with at Priority is both approachable and professional. I think for employers who have never used a recruitment firm before it helps to take away the mystique of a head hunter.”
“The process itself was really good, I’m glad we used a head hunter. There was good support and confidence of having someone else do the leg work. I just didn’t have the time. It was a neutral party. We were always informed and felt part of the process. It was ideal to have a third party. “
“It’s always been a 10/10 experience, above average. The people are standout, the organization has always helped NBREA with our recruitment.”
“Priority is local and they understand the East Coast market. Priority knows our organization inside and out, and understands our culture. We trust them and that’s why we go back time after time.”
Shauna Stillman
Shauna’s favourite things about Priority are the team, who have such great rapport when working together, as well as her fearless leader, Wendy. She feels it’s truly a privilege to work somewhere that she looks forward to coming in each and every day!
Outside of work, Shauna enjoys reading, watching movies, and going on camping adventures with her loving family.
Laura Eliaba
Laura began working in recruiting while living overseas in New Zealand, and upon her return to New Brunswick was fortunate enough to apply to Priority when the time was right. She’s been with the team for over a decade now and loves to work collaboratively with other members of the team to ensure they are offering clients and candidates their best everyday. Laura feels very lucky to work for Wendy, who she respects and admires.
A graduate of Business Administration from Mount Saint Vincent in Halifax, she is very proud to have completed the Effective Personal Leadership program through LMI Canada with Kathy Watt and Amy Parrill. Laura lives in Fredericton with her husband and two children. She enjoys spending as much time as possible with her family and friends -- and if it includes live music and world travel, all the better!
Melissa Sargeson
Melissa’s Priority story is one of beautiful happenstance -- a job posting was listed by accident, and she happened to apply before it was taken down. Impressed with her skillset, they offered her a temporary position, and then after a few weeks decided they couldn’t let her go!
Melissa loves going to the beach, and is passionate about beach combing and sea glass hunting.
Wendy Southworth
Wendy has been an active volunteer and noted member of the business community, serving as a volunteer and on the board of various organizations, including Ignite Fredericton/Knowledge Park, the Fredericton Chamber of Commerce, the Fredericton Executive Association, and the Women in Business Network, as well as having worked closely with the Canadian Diabetes Association, Ability New Brunswick, and 100 Women Who Care Fredericton. In 2013 Wendy joined the distinguished Atlantic Chapter of Women President’s Organization (WPO) and in 2016 became a founding member of the New Brunswick Atlantic II Chapter of WPO. Wendy is married to her life partner of 24 years, Andrew and has one daughter, Jessica. Jessica and her husband Rob, have a beautiful three-year-old daughter and newborn son.
