Your most effective relationship with a recruiter is realized when they become a true extension of you, your department and your company. Since they are the front line of communication between you and the market, you will get the best results when your recruiter understands the “Why?” behind the “What” that you are looking for and can act as a true partner in overcoming common challenges that hiring managers face.
Client Services
At Talance, we focus on delivering the highest level of quality service and finding the right fit for you.

Needs Assessment
Avoid starting off on the wrong foot on the new position you are hiring for. Make sure you are focusing on the work you NEED to be performed versus what you WANT to see on the resume.
Interviewing
Would you like your hiring success rate to increase 50%? Focus on what you want accomplished and steer clear of any vague questions.


Negotiations
Best to start negotiating at the beginning of the interview process, not the end. You’ll avoid most unpleasant surprises by talking money early and often.
Market Knowledge
It’s much easier to conduct a search when you have a solid understanding of what you can get at what price. Even better if you’re aware how your company and opportunity compares to others.


Employee Retention
Are you winning or losing in the ongoing war for talent? Hiring a great new employee is only half the battle, holding on to them is a completely different challenge.
Finance & Accounting Hiring Manager Testimonials
Doug and his group have been extremely helpful, often on short notice, at identifying and putting high caliber people in front of us for senior positions. Doug, in particular, has been insightful, patient and extremely diligent in identification of the right person for the spot we were trying to fill. I wouldn’t hesitate to use them anytime I need personnel assistance.

Stephan placed me at a job and I subsequently used him to find employees. He is highly confidential and knows his candidates before presenting them. He prepares his candidates for the job interview and is focused on making sure that both employer and employee are happy at the end of the day. I will use him in the future as needed.

When we have a need to fill an open position, Doug and the staff at The Talance Group always understand what we are looking for and find the candidates that have the skill sets that meet our requirements. They never push unqualified candidates at you.

I have used Stephan’s services in two successful placements. His service is marked by a very high level of professionalism together with his conviction that a successful job search involves more than monetary satisfaction. Stephan recognizes that the candidate and a potential employer must fit in terms of the technical requirements of a position as well as the more elusive personality compatibility. Stephan strives to build a long-term relationship and, to that end, will not misrepresent or attempt to sell a position to achieve a commission. He acknowledges the bottom line: the candidate is the ultimate expert.

I have worked with The Talance Group as both a hiring manager and a candidate and have been consistently pleased with the impressive results. Their team found the ideal opportunity for me and have placed several excellent candidates in my departments over the years. I truly value the customer service and care they take to ensure the best fit possible.

I had the pleasure of working with Angie for about 16-18 months on a wide variety of IT roles for Weatherford. She always offered sound candidates, expert guidance, and honest feedback. More than this though – Angie has a fierce drive that she is going to do whatever it takes to deliver the right candidates for the right needs at the right time. Simply put – she has the guts to deliver where most will fall.

Gary is a tremendously talented account manager and recruiter - and dons both hats brilliantly. He is incredibly sharp and has a keen sense in and around the technology industry, and acts as a true business partner for key client stakeholders. His dedication to providing quality candidates to his clients is unmatched and he truly builds strong relationships with his clients and candidates alike. It’s a great experienced working with him and he makes the entire process transparent so there is a mutual trust and alignment on both sides. Not to mention he’s a straight shooter with a great sense of humor! Something I truly value in recruiting professionals. If you have a chance to work with Gary, go for it!

Gary has provided me with a great pool of talent. He listens well to what my needs are and then strives to bring candidates that meet those needs. He is very good at pre-screening candidates before they ever make their way to me which saves me a great deal of time. I am very pleased with the resources that Talance has provided. Gary also makes it easy to square the contractual process away quickly and efficiently.
