Shelley Trenouth, President

The Placement Group managers refer to Shelley as an articulate, high-energy leader whose passion for the industry and pride in her team is evident in everything she does. Her quick wit and irreverent sense of humour wrap around the serious business of coaching and teaching the hundreds of new employees who have attended our famous Boot Camp Training Program. Eager to share the wisdom gained from 35 years in the recruitment arena, Shelley's true love is to help others realize their own potential to deliver powerful performance.

With seventeen years' tenure in the organization, Shelley is a valuable member of the executive team and shares in the responsibility for strategic development and operational effectiveness not only for The Placement Group, but also for our parent company, Design Group Staffing Inc. Shelley also holds the title of Chief Talent Officer for the corporate entity and consequently is part of the fabric of all Design Group Staffing divisions and offices from coast to coast. She is equally comfortable speaking to large employee groups or presenting client seminars on HR related topics.

In addition to her zeal for staffing, Shelley is an extreme dog enthusiast. In fact, Tedrix, her lovable and very large Komondor, can oftentimes be heard in the background contributing his sage and cogent thoughts to the discussion.

Susan Wright-Boucher, Vice President

Susan has an unflagging passion for the staffing industry. Over the last 15 years, she has managed contingent and permanent staffing operations and national accounts in every major city in Canada. Her staffing industry career began on the east coast where she managed a network of branches in the 4 Atlantic Provinces. Following that, she spent nearly 5 years in Toronto managing national accounts. Today she and her husband live in Vancouver where they have happily adopted the Western Canadian lifestyle. She has been called a workaholic but prefers the term 'business athlete'.

A confirmed lifelong learner and technology geek, Susan has a voracious appetite for business and social media books. As a result, she is no longer allowed unsupervised trips to the bookstore. She is an active contributor and early adopter on the social networking scene. You can find her on all the mainstream sites like LinkedIn, Twitter, or Facebook, and on many of the lesser known or newer sites. Her social media engagement is based on the belief that we have an unprecedented opportunity to connect and learn from each other.

Susan is a proponent of leveraging critical thinking and technology to improve corporate performance and growth. She is available for speaking engagements on employer branding, social media, recruitment, and employment trends.
