I've had the pleasure to work with Ada and her team since 2017 through the Centre for Race and Culture in Edmonton. As a grassroot organization without an established HR department, Ada provided invaluable support and advice that helped our organization build some of the foundational pieces required to move forward. Her team has assisted our organization in successfully hiring multiple positions, including the recruitment of two Executive Directors and board of directors. She also provided support to navigating challenging HR situations, developing comprehensive performance review and recruitment procedures for both the board and the organization. Ada and her team is undoubtedly a critical component that contributed to CFRAC's success in the HR realm of business. I would highly recommend her to any organizations seeking for HR support or consult!
Vivian Kwan, Chair

I've had the privilege of working with Ada on several HR-related projects through my work as a trustee on a public sector Board of Directors. Ada is the utmost professional, taking the time to truly understand her clients' needs and providing solutions and expert recommendations that are actionable, aligned with strategic objectives, and meet Best Standards. She makes sure projects are on time and budget and that all outcomes and deliverables are met. Ada makes sure her clients have the knowledge they need to make informed decisions. If you're looking for top-shelf, client-faced HR services from an experience, personable, and strategic professional who respects your budget, project/corporate objectives, and comes along you as a true partner, reach out to Ada and her team - I recommend her without hesitation!

Towards the end of 2023, our organization received exceptionally professional guidance and support for a challenging human resource situation that has significant complexity and with a tight timeline. The HR Consultant from BadaB provided our core team of colleagues with expert guidance and kind attentiveness. She helped us loop in other experts, resulting in a resolution to a complex situation promptly and thoughtfully.

We were pleased with the professionalism and of BadaB Consulting. Because of BadaB’s involvement, South Country Village had an objective way to make organizational changes that were long overdue. Frankly, to date, it has been a rather peaceful process. It had the potential to not be so. We intentionally focused on validating the positive contributions of the past but also the energy that will be needed as we move into an exciting future. The new structure that you recommended is well designed based on our organization's situation and growth plan. The Technology strategies you prepared gave us a clear picture of what we need to do in the next 5 years and the related costs. Thank you for your wise consultation.
Daryl Martin, CEO
South Country Village
Working with Ada and her team has been an absolutely amazing experience. They are very professional, personable, and patient. They created our Employee Policy Handbook, our Board policies and Terms of Reference, facilitated Strategic Planning , and provided Board governance training. This team goes above and beyond - you will not be disappointed!

BadaB supported our Chamber with several HR initiatives over a year plus. This included regular HR support, recruitment of key positions, including our new Executive Director, training, and board governance work and updates. Throughout that time Ada, Phil and the entire team were engaged, supportive, professional and excellent to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
Matt Schellenberger, Director of Corporate Development Edmonton Construction Association
When we were looking to hold our initial HR in a Box sessions in Edmonton, one of our partners (CPHR - Chartered Professional in Human Resources Alberta) highly recommended that we reach out to Ada Tai as a potential presenter. The purpose of the HR in a Box sessions is to share best practices and innovative solutions to help small and medium-sized organizations to build capacity. The informative content she delivers along with her presentation style allows Ada to interact well with the session attendees. By doing so, she shares her expertise to support these organizations as they solve their management issues. Since that first session, we have continued to ask Ada if she would be available to present at various locations across Alberta and in each case she has been willing to present and continue to support the session attendees.

Ada has a great HR experience, the first time I was introduced to her was in a screening phone call for my current job, I was impressed by the professional way she introduced herself and the company to me, and how she knew exactly what to ask. I was amazed by her punctuality, the whole hiring process took less than three weeks. thanks to her also the on-boarding process was pretty smooth. I recommend her and and wish her all the best in her current endeavor.

I attended a few courses facilitated by BadaB Consulting. My favourite courses are the "HR Basics Every Manager Needs to Know" course and the "Data Governance" course. The content was concise and well organized and exceptionally presented. I was expecting my focus not to be there with the dry material. However, the instructors kept my attention, and made topics exciting. Was very impressed. The courses were very informative and very well presented. I feel that I was provided with some valuable tools that I can take back to my employers.

I would like to formally thank BadaB facilitators on behalf of “Ready to Work” Program at Action for Healthy Communities. During our 4 valuable sessions with you, both our youths and the team have greatly benefited from your professional experience about the job market in Canada. I find it amazing how your team can shift from training our adult staff to younger community members with such ease! Our program was not only boosted by your knowledge, but also found inspiration in you!

This review is for work done by BadaB Consulting for a non-profit organization that I'm a member of the Board with...Our organization couldn’t be more impressed with the outstanding service provided by BadaB Consulting. They completely revamped our employee policy handbook, ensuring it was comprehensive and up-to-date with all of the necessary information. From start to finish, their team was professional, thorough, on time and incredibly organized. We especially want to thank Tracy for gathering all of the necessary details to make the policies clear and effective, and even challenging our organization to rethink some as they were being finalized. The process was seamless, including hosting a rollout training session to our staff. Her patience in answering all of our questions, no matter how detailed, was exceptional. We are incredibly pleased with the results and highly recommend their services to anyone in need of expert HR consulting. Excellent work and service all around from team BadaB Consulting!
Bradley Asselstine, Board of a non-profit organization
BadaB Consulting helped BILD Edmonton Metro harmonize its policies into cohesive, robust, and clear manuals, supported us through our transition after amalgamating two prior organizations, and continue to assist us with ongoing human resources needs. The team, specifically Ada, Boris, and Phil, have been a joy to work with, and learn from. They are attentive to our needs, great listeners, lead by example, are quick and responsive!
Jason Syvixay, VP, Strategy & Operations, BILD Edmonton Metro
Our organization engaged BadaB Consulting to help develop 10 workshops encompassing the entire business startup process for our clients – entrepreneurs with disabilities, who are exploring starting their own businesses. Our clients were impressed with the simple and effective tools that BadaB Consulting built for them and have provided us with extremely positive feedback. They are more confident and educated to start their adventure. We are also very grateful for the extra advice that BadaB has provided to us to continually build this program. Ada Tai facilitated our first pilot workshop. Ada has a natural talent in facilitating and motivating people – she has an engaging way of delivering information in a clear and uncomplicated way. Ada is able to seamlessly combine her own experiences and examples to validate her credibility as a subject matter expert.

BadaB Consulting was highly recommended by an industry partner to provide Human Resource services for our organization. In the past several years, we have used the BadaB team for several rounds of employee and board recruitment. They are extremely responsive to our hiring needs, have helped us effectively fill all positions within the deadlines, and charge very reasonable rates. I am also amazed with how they have been able to reach out to a large number of excellent candidates. Even with our non-traditional positions, BadaB Consulting diligently facilitated us through every step, including creating the job description from scratch and even going through refinement of our posting and additional recruiting efforts to make sure we get the right skills for our needs. Without fail, each of the people we’ve hired has been of the highest caliber.

Boris' coaching is very engaging and interactive. You’ll never be bored or unchallenged. He really cares about his clients! Boris, I just want to tell you how much I value your support! Now I got my job as a Systems Analyst.
Calvin Houng, Systems Analyst
I had the great pleasure to learn from Ada at Career Forum hosted by University of Alberta, where she delivered a presentation about hiring process in Canada, building efficient strategy in everyone’s career development, and tactical skills on creating extraordinary personal brand through resumes and interviews. She is approachable and very knowledgeable regarding recruiting in Canada, so her presentation inspired me – a new immigrant who wants to continue her career in marketing, analysis and strategy. Ada’s passion for human resource management and her genuine desire to share her expertise with others is inspirational!
Mae Kim
Public Servant at Government of Canada
As an introverted person, networking is my biggest weakness. After four coaching sessions with Ada, I found myself started to feel more confident and comfortable in introducing myself to strangers and eventually landed a job through meeting a person at a business event. I cannot thank Ada enough!"
Nan Xing, Registered Speech-Language Pathologist
Ada was my career consultant when I was looking for new employment opportunities. She was welcoming, personal, and offered a lot of insight during our sessions. Ada created a program that really fit my needs, and I know I will be using the tools and processes she has taught me. It was a great experience collaborating with Ada and I definitely valued her guidance.
