Leah Swan
SVP – Human Resources, The Children’s Place | (formerly SVP HR, Ross Dress for Less)
I engaged Daniela Mayol at both my current and former company to establish consistent, scalable processes, metrics and tools to transform the recruiting team into a results driven talent acquisition function. I counted on Daniela to roll up her sleeves, leave no stone unturned and work through all of the details in mapping the journey from current state to future state. Read More

She enthusiastically tackled the work and delivered against all project goals! Daniela’s passion for, and deep experience in talent acquisition make her a great asset. This experience coupled with her drive for excellence, hard working nature and goal orientation make Daniela a trusted and valued partner to work with. I have also used Global Talent Strategies Inc to recruit for hard to fill and key roles. She and her team are great partners from job intake through placement, representing our brand effectively and delivering best in class talent in a timely manner. I will not hesitate to engage Daniela and her team as future projects or talent acquisition needs arise.

I am honoured and pleased to have the chance to write a brief testimonial for Daniela Mayol and her company Global Talent Strategies.I have known Daniela for over 10 years and I’ve had the pleasure of working with her in a corporate environment where I was one of her peers and now as a direct client.

When I worked with Daniela at HBC I could see the amazing work she did from a recruitment and talent perspective. She really turned the entire division around and created a new level of excellence during her time at HBC. I’ve always kept in touch with Daniela as I know she’s so well connected and so passionate around her field that she is always someone who is great to bounce ideas off. When Daniela started her own company, I was thrilled at the prospect of getting to work more directly with her again. I can say from my most recent dealings with Daniela that she is truly the best recruiter I’ve ever worked with. She is so incredibly committed to doing good work and it’s evidenced in everything she does. She fights hard to ensure she really understands what her client is looking for and she will challenge you as necessary on anything that is unrealistic to ensure you and she are on the same page in terms of expectations. She is very, very connected and her timelines for delivery are like nothing I’ve seen before. She’s filled several very challenging roles for us in under 30 days which is incredible. I also like how committed she is to her candidates, she works hard not just to place people but to ensure it’s the right role for them. I have a few people on my team who she placed well over 6 months ago, and she still takes the time to reach out and check in with them. I absolutely love every chance I get to work with Daniela and would confidently recommend her and her company for any opportunity that involves getting amazing talent on board. Thank you, Daniela.

Daniela is an excellent leader. She is extremely skilled in recruitment and the strategy around it – and is a champion for streamlining processes. I learned more from Daniela in 18 months that I had in my entire career up to that point. Her work ethic is impressive, but even more so is her consistency. Read More

You can always be certain that if her name is on something, the quality is top-notch. As a leader she has high expectations, and the knowledge base to teach those interested to learn. Together, those skills make her excellent at building high-performing teams. When I joined Daniela’s team in 2013, I was incredibly impressed with my peers – which in and of itself was motivating. I miss working with Daniela every day!
