Commented Mark Anderson - TalentBridge Co-Founder, "TAC Worldwide is one of the largest and strongest technical workforce companies globally. Their culture and long history of customer-centric delivery, combined with their progressive view of the client's most pressing technical recruiting requirements in the future, were key elements in TalentBridge's decision to join forces with TAC."

According to Maximus Inc, Chief Human Capital officer Mark Andrekovich, "There is a dramatic change occurring in the labor market as the boomer generation begins to retire and the number of skilled workers and experienced leaders rapidly decline.  Like many other companies, one of our greatest challenges is finding, managing, and retaining highly qualified employees. Therefore, I believe that companies need search partners that understand their business needs and have the expertise to deliver.
 
In more complex organizations like ours, each business segment demands a unique talent acquisition strategy. Therefore, it is important that a search partner not only bring best-in-breed practices to the table, but also possess the business acumen necessary to apply them successfully. In the end, it's all about ensuring that our next generation of leaders are decidedly in place and ready to produce results."

TalentBridge offers a structured and proven approach to hiring mission critical Core-Talent, or key contributors that drive company growth and execute critical operational functions. Its talent acquisition approach is based on a hybrid solution that incorporates the benefits of full life-cycle recruiting, ?high-touch" C-level retained search combined with the best practices of volume RPO models.  In addition, cutting-edge sourcing technologies have been integrated into the process to identify and engage high caliber candidates. "Our emphasis lies in tying together the high touch, consultative approach that senior recruiters bring to find top talent, with a more scalable and flexible model that allows for best in class execution and measurement" said Mark Anderson.

"Historically, companies have relied on internal HR organizations and search firms to find this level of talent. The challenge is that HR organizations typically aren't constructed to be nimble and may not be able to respond or adapt dynamically to changes within the organization. The use of executive search firms can become cost prohibitive and transaction oriented RPO models may not reach the level of talent required. The addition of TalentBridge continues to expand the depth and breadth of TAC's workforce solutions while extending our core recruitment services in the IT and Engineering skills sets that are most scarce," added Dave Rosi, Senior Vice President of Market & Client Services at TAC Worldwide

Further, employment trends indicate that in order to remain competitive, employers are using permanent placement as an integral part of their competitive strategy, particularly at Core-Talent levels considered to be key to their organizations. "These strategic hires not only make up the
talent engine of an organization, but also drive its growth and long-term financial success," commented TalentBridge Co-Founder Tony Steadman. "Because we work exclusively on a client's behalf, only delivering individuals for specific "Core-Talent" categories we can leverage a best-in-class direct hire recruiting solution that few can offer or duplicate."

Virtually everyone at TalentBridge recruits – the organization was built from and deploys highly skilled recruiters, most of whom bring 10-20 years of vertical industry experience and technical domain knowledge to each assignment. The recruitment teams have come from strong process recruitment and delivery operations backgrounds - including RPO and executive search organizations.
