Renaissance Personnel

Chris Bechard was elected President of Renaissance Personnel in March 1997. He has a unique perspective on the industry. His 17-year manufacturing career was not standard. He started as an industrial machinist, making prototypes for engineering. Later, he moved up to Employee Participation Coordinator and Industrial Relations Administrator, working his way up to Human Resources Manager. This technical and Human Resource knowledge is a fantastic base for the complex recruiting world. Chris also acted as HR Manager for many Employment Agencies, from Windsor to London. He understood the customer's perspective and created procedural rules that has allowed Renaissance Personnel to be a model for other firms throughout the area. The company began as a small home-based business with one employee. Renaissance Personnel has grown incredibly, with 20 Recruitment Specialists over four locations in Chatham, London, and Windsor. The company's annual sales have increased by 68% to $10 million per annum in just six years. Renaissance Personnel's growth is extraordinary because the firm has never hired a salesperson. Renaissance provided employment services for thousands of companies of all sizes and types, nearly exclusively through word-of-mouth.
