About us
Our Legacy of Empowerment
Mr. John Clements, Australian psychologist, and Mr. Cady Dominguez, Harvard Business School graduate, sealed the partnership of John Clements Consultants, Inc. for Executive Search and set its sights on becoming a pioneer in the recruitment business.
Looking at the growing need for staffing of professionals, middle management down to rank and file, Professional Staffers Division was born in 1976.
In 1979, Mr. Dominguez formed EDI Staffbuilders with Mr. John Corrigan, an Australian investment banker, to initially service projects in Saudi Arabia.
In 1991, another promising market caught Mr. Dominguez’s eyes: Jakarta. He sent two of his consultants to case the joint, so to speak, and to set up a manual of future operations.
Two more divisions formed in 1995 – Speednet and Shop ‘n Check Philippines
In August 2002, Mr. Dominguez – without fuss or fanfare – suddenly fell ill and said goodbye to John Clements Consultants, Inc., the company he gave life to, nurtured, and grew for 28 years.
In 2004, new developments emerged in the corporate world. Offshore Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) was huge and rapidly growing at an unprecedented rate.
