  • Making the wrong hire is expensive.
    A lot is on the line when you make a hire — especially at the leadership level. Our comprehensive, hands-on process ensures you make the right hire. We'll find the person with the skills you need. But more importantly, we'll find the person who will integrate with your culture and ethos. As we all know, leadership hires can have a profound impact on productivity and morale.

    You'll have access to diversity.
    We've got great systems in place to ensure you reach a broad and diverse pool of candidates. Research overwhelmingly shows that diverse leadership improves decision-making and is better at navigating complex challenges.

    You'll engage with the highest level candidates.
    The best leaders are often not looking for a job. Our "secret sauce" research expertise uncovers talent you'd never have access to in an open market search. Additionally, we know how to "woo" the candidates that might otherwise be reticent to consider a change.

  • We are proudly small. When you work with Talence Group, you work directly with our top search consultants. You'll never get handed off to a junior-level consultant.

    Big names can't always deliver.
    The bigger the recruitment firm, the more likely you'll get paired up with someone who's still learning the ropes. That's why often big name companies deliver mediocre candidates who just aren't the right fit.

    We can dig deeper.
    We ask lots of questions so that we're sure to understand exactly what you need. Sometimes we even suggest that you hold off on your recruitment until you fix some internal issues. The bottom line? By being streamlined and nimble, we make sure that the "table is set" for a successful hire.

    It's a partnership.
    Clients tend to work with us — over and over and over again. Why? Because they know we're in it for the long haul. As a boutique firm, we're able to pay attention to all of the details. We simply have the bandwidth that larger firms don't have.
