After 12 years at one company it became necessary for me to find more suitable employment. My resume was outdated, my interview skills rusty and my awareness of the current job market non-existent. I was contacted by Talance a few months before I decided to leave my current employer. Once I did leave, I contacted Talance and I received an immediate response, requesting a phone conversation. From that conversation on, I received regular communication and guidance. They arranged for a face-to-face meeting, which I personally think should be necessary and always bridges a gap that cannot be done through simply emailing a resume. In our interview they took the time to get to know me, asked what I was looking for and where I had been. Their whole approach made complete sense to me. They want to match their candidate with the best role and with a company where it will be a good fit for everyone. From the perspective of them running a successful business, that makes complete sense and it sets them up for reoccurring business and referrals. The two individuals I worked with at Talance helped me with my resume, they guided me through interview techniques and they stayed in regular contact, providing updates and thoughts. Within six weeks, I was placed in a position that over a year later still proves to be a great fit for me and for the company I work for. I am extremely impressed with how Talance runs their business. I recommend them to anyone who is a true professional and understands the value of face time and developing working relationships beyond the computer screen. I have worked with several other recruiters who simply call, state the facts of a job, ask if I am interested and click the forward button to send my resume. That absolutely causes people to begin positions that they end up leaving in a year or two, because it is not a good fit for the individual or the company. Talance puts in the time and effort to make long lasting connections and I am certain this is why they have exclusive recruiting rights to many businesses. In a nutshell, Talance is more than just a nice office.
