The Talance Group was great to work with in my search. Both Lauren and Jeff were very attentive and conscious of what I was looking for in a position. Once the right opportunity came up they made sure that everything went quickly and smoothly. They provided very helpful insight and tips prior to the interview process and followed up immediately afterwards. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking to make a change.

The Talance Group reached out to me about a job opportunities in Houston. Adam is the recruiter who reached out to me about a position.He is extremely helpful and Professional. They scheduled interviews with client. I feel that using Talance Group benefited me by both providing me better opportunity and saving time in my job search.
After being laid off from a major oil company 3 years ago, I contacted different recruiting firms, most were well intended but The Talance Group took the time and energy to get to know me as a person, and helped me identify my true talents and expand on those during my job search. I have now worked with Lauren Ogrodowicz and Alix Biondo on several opportunities. Both were very professional and always ready to answer my questions or concerns regarding a potential employer. I always felt the support and had the guidance needed during my search, while they ensure they matched me with the right job. I highly recommend The Talance Group for their professionalism and personal level relationships their recruiters build with the applicants.
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 My resume was outdated, my interview skills rusty and my awareness of the current job market non-existent.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.
I cannot thank enough the Talance team, but my special thank goes to Lauren Ogrodowicz! She helped me to find a right consulting position that turned out to be a full time job for a long time.
I am very pleased with The Talance Group and their ability to locate opportunities in line with my experience. After 16 yrs of employment, starting over looking for a new job can be very daunting. The company is represented by great people that I found to be very helpful with assisting me in updating my resume and finding value where I might have overlooked in my years of experience. If you want a team that is going to work for you, I highly recommend The Talance Group LP
Best talent acquisition firm in Houston! Very experienced team and just the right relationships not only to locate a job for you but also to help you negotiate your new salary.
The Talance Group has been a great resource for me in this job search, especially as a recent college graduate having niche intern experience and wanting to transition into industry.
I enjoyed that they took the time to bring me into their office, discuss my qualifications, and continuously identified opportunities that would be right for me.
Doing so, they landed me my first job offer for a role that fits me to the tee. I could not be more pleased with the process, advice, support and objective viewpoint that was always presented by Jennifer and Stephan. Their extensive experience and connections within the industry gives them insights that benefits the candidate. I highly recommend working with Talance!
I have been working with Rachel Fogg from Talance Group for several years and have always had a great experience. Even when all I needed was advice on market availability or rates for particular types of labor, she was a great resource to have. We recently arranged for temporary labor through Talance and could not have been more pleased with the quality of work the was provided or the rate we paid.
Working with the Talance Group was amazing. I would highly recommend using them to make your next career move. They are honest, hardworking, and make a concerted effort to find an employer that fits what you are looking for.
The Talance Group was able to help make my job transition quickly and smoothly. They were a great resource and listened to what I was looking for in a job. Would highly recommend if looking for a recruiter to help find a new position.
The Talance Group provided great above-and-beyond personal service. My recruiter Adam and his manager did an amazing job of advocating for me to get the salary and title I was desiring. They worked harder for me than I did for myself! I trust the company overall and felt that I was treated with respect and professionalism. -Pat W.
I did not have a good experience with the Talance Group. I was seeking a Mid to High level position. During our phone conversation I was led to believe that they would have something in that range. I took the the time out of my busy schedule to meet with one of their representatives. But the meeting was a dead end. I just felt like I spent a lot of time talking about what I was looking for and going over my qualifications considering the fact that they had ample time to look at my resume. I am a well qualified person seeking a Mid to High level position and I was presented with positions that were equivalent of College graduates plus 2 yrs. experience. I am not sure if they did not pay attention to my resume or listen to what I was looking for. But the Positions that were being discussed during the meeting were far below my qualifications. I feel that this agency focuses on lower level positions that are more suitable for college grads. I just don't appreciate them wasting my time and making me come all the way to downtown to have a point less discussion. Any good recruiter will know your qualifications and match you with a mutually compatible job without having to run through all the hoops of a face to face meeting and this and that. Time is money and I felt like a lot of my time was wasted that day. The whole thing led to nowhere in the coming months, and I felt the rep was a bit flaky with their correspondence and just giving me the run around.
This agency just blows a whole bunch of hot air with no backing.
If you are seeking a Mid to High Level position, please do not waste your time. They are focused on jobs that require far less qualifications that what you have and you will have wasted a lot of time. Also this whole thing about requiring a face to face meeting? I have had many recruiters get the job done without even meeting me. After this experience I have made it a personal rule to reject any recruiter who wants a face to face with no commitment of a potential position.
Don't bother, unless you are a freshie out of college.
I noticed some people mentioned Melody on these reviews.. I have been with Talance for at least 7-8 years and Melody Contreras is my contact there. She was ALWAYS so helpful! One time the client I was working for lost his data in iCloud and there was possibility I would have to re-enter all that data manually. I called her to let her know that I might not meet deadline for the project. She offered to come during weekend and help me to put the data in... luckily we could reach iclouds and get the data back. But I felt so grateful inside that she was there for me in case I needed some help. Thank you, Melody, your offer was priceless.
My experience with the Talance Group was fantastic! My representative was engaged and always on top of things, I couldn t have asked for anyone better!
The Talance Group was incredibly helpful in my job search. They helped me in finding a role that was perfectly suited for me. I was given insightful interview prep and help along the way. I would highly recommend the Talance Group.
Talance Group has been a great resource in helping me find a company that is culturally fit for me. Ben Pursell has been great help. I really like how he has kept in contact with me, letting me know about the next steps as well as the process. What I like the most about Talance Group is that the agency is very supportive. Ben Pursell was amazing, he made sure that I had preparation for my interview, and provided me with any tools that I might need.
Absolutely amazing throughout the whole recruitment process! Very professional and dedicated team. I cannot thank you enough for your full support and for believing in me...Thank you!
The Talance Group was extremely helpful in my job search. They contacted me about an opportunity and streamlined the whole process so everything went incredibly quickly. They value your time and get to know you and the position/qualifications that you're looking for in a company. About a month in, they even came to visit the company I was hired at to make sure everything was going well and that it was a good fit for both parties.
I have worked with Jeff and Alix in both recruiting efforts, and in my personal placement initiatives, and I have to say that they are outstanding at what they do! They are impeccable in their follow-up, and they do an amazing job of researching their client's position and their candidates to ensure that the matches that they present are rock solid. You can be confident in the effort that they will extend on behalf of their clients on either side of the placement equation.
I have dealt with The Talance Group for over 10 years both in looking for a new position and in hiring people. My experience is that they are equally concerned about placing the right individual from the perspective of the employee and the employer. They are my go to firm when looking to hire. They have a great depth of contacts within the city.
Their insistence that references be given up front is not in line with industry norms, no matter what they say. A recruiter also emailed me 6 minutes before our scheduled call to reschedule (and that after I told her I had a totally open schedule and she picked that time), and laughed at me for a good five seconds after I let her know that giving my references up front is not something I'm willing to do.
I have used The Talance Group both as a hiring manager and as a candidate. They are not high volume, commission driven recruiters. They helped me make sure the fit was right on both sides. They did a great job helping me prepare for the interview and with the offer negotiations. On the hiring manager side, I had a high level of trust that the candidates they sent to me had been properly vetted ahead of time - this gave a great deal of weight to Talance candidates versus other applicants.
The Talance Group reached out to me about a few job opportunities at great companies in Houston. Everyone was extremely helpful and receptive to my job preferences as we found positions that were a good fit. They had a few eyes look at my resume to make some needed updates, as well as provided a run down of interview scenarios the day before. I feel that using Talance Group benefited me by both providing me better opportunities and saving time in my job search.
I would not be where I am today without working with Talance Group! I have worked with multiple recruiting firms in the past and I know it's easy to be manipulated. I never once felt Jennifer Silveira and Angela Godfrey were being dishonest and they gave me complete and total control over what I was looking for. I know they cared because they checked up on both me and my boss after I started to make sure everyone was happy. They truly wanted to place me at a company that would be mutually beneficial and that's exactly what happened! I would recommend The Talance Group to anyone looking to find their next job!
I strongly recommend The Talance Group for job search! It was great to work with Lauren in my search. Lauren is not only helped me found an ideal job but also gave me a lot of suggestions. She made everything go smoothly prior to my interview process and followed up immediately afterwards. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking to make a change.
My experience with Talance Group has been great. Every time they called me, I would get a contract. They know their clients and us - job seekers so well that they match us perfectly. Btw my contact at Talance is Melody and I always can count on her word.
I had a great experience working with Jeff Wooldridge at The Talance Group. I would recommend The Talance Group to anyone seeking new job opportunities!
The process was made extremely simple. They take the time to listen To the candidate and find out what's really important to them then they call you about positions that are actually interest. With the help of the Talance Geouo, I found an incredible position and company!!!
I am very satisfied with the service that I received from the Talance Group. I worked with Jennifer Drake and Jeff and they were extremely helpful and very professional.
Talance Group has revolutionized "industry standards" with their innovative ways to bring only the best out of a candidate. I had worked with them in the past and got placed with my previous employer. I have worked with multiple recruiting agencies in vain. Hence, I highly recommend Talance Group to any active job seeker and they will not only find you your match but prepare you for it as well.
Terrific team indeed! I am been candidate and client of The Talance Group. At any stage, they always exceeded my expectations. Definitively, I recommend The Talance Group!
My experience working with The Talance Group was really great. The team they have was very helpful, from finding the job opportunities, to preparing for the interview itself, and even having updates on whether one is to be hired or not in a reasonable time period. I would highly recommend Talance Group because they're more than just recruiters, they're helpful people who want to truly help you find the right job that suits you.
I've worked with recruiters from the Talance Group for several years, and they are truly dedicated to helping their candidates find their dream jobs! They are professional, hard working, and compassionate, and I don't have any hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking to make a change in their career.
The Talance Group team has been amazing to work with. They ask all the right questions to ensure I am placed into a position that's not only a good fit for the hiring manager/company, but also opens a path for my continued success personally.
I've used Talance Group many times over the years for my personal career and while building teams. I can't say enough good things about the personal attention and care received from the team at Talance as they truly go above and beyond to coach and ensure the right role or company is a good fit for both sides. I recommend Talance to anyone who is looking for a genuine top notch group to be in their corner while either building their owns teams or making a career transition!
I have worked with the Talance Group for years both individually and also as a hiring manager. This is not a "normal" hiring firm, they take the time to get to know you personally. The don't just shoot resumes of every job seeker, but because they know you, they know what type of people you want. In a day and age when corporate culture is so important they take pride in matching you with the right type of candidate, not just skill-wise, but also personality-wise. Our company has hired many candidates using Talance and if the need arises in the future, we will use them again.
