Through this collaboration, destinationone will bring its proprietary
destinationoneRAASS™ (Recruitment-as-a-
Subscription-Service) consulting and strategic model to municipalities across Canada, helping local governments save taxpayer dollars, strengthen their workforces, and reinvest savings back into community priorities.
“Municipal World has been connecting municipalities with the ideas, people, and solutions that strengthen communities for more than 130 years,” said KD Khairah, Founder of destinationone Consulting. “Partnering with such a respected institution is an honour and an opportunity to amplify our mission: ensuring municipalities have access to strategic talent, while reducing the high costs of traditional recruitment. This means taxpayer savings and stronger local governments.”
“This partnership with Municipal World reflects our shared commitment to supporting municipalities in building resilient communities,” said Mamta Dhillon, Chief Operating and People Officer at destinationone Consulting. “Our focus has always been on creating solutions that not only deliver cost savings but also empower people and strengthen organizational culture. By combining Municipal World’s trusted voice with our destinationoneRAASS™ model, we can help local governments access the right talent and reinvest in the programs and services that matter most to their residents.”
“At Municipal World, our mission has always been to provide municipalities with the tools, knowledge, and connections they need to thrive. Our new partnership with destinationone Consulting allows us to offer municipal leaders across Canada access to a new and innovative recruitment model that reduces costs, strengthens workforces, and ultimately benefits the taxpayers and communities they serve,” said Anthony Gibbons, CEO of Municipal World.
The destinationoneRAASS™ model reimagines municipal recruitment by moving away from unpredictable, high-cost contingency and retained search models. Instead, municipalities can subscribe to a predictable, budget-friendly system that covers all hiring needs – from administrative roles to executive leadership. This approach has already delivered savings of up to 72.9% compared to conventional recruitment costs, while maintaining top-tier service and candidate quality.
“Municipal World is dedicated to supporting municipalities in navigating today’s complex challenges,” the Municipal World CEO added. “destinationone’s innovative RAASS model offers municipalities a practical solution to one of the sector’s most pressing needs: attracting and retaining the right talent without overextending budgets. So, by offering this new member benefit, we’re helping municipalities focus their resources where they matter most – serving their communities,” he concluded.
With this new partnership, destinationone will contribute thought leadership, best practices, and recruitment expertise through Municipal World’s national platform, furthering its commitment to serving sectors that serve others.
